Branden Albert is 28 years old. He IS the longterm solution at LT.

Why are you people so ****ing stupid about this? My god.

Dorsey has been doing work.

Now if he drafts Geno OMG it will be the best moment in my life ever.

Doesn't Star have a heart condition as well, or was that disproven? Something about a valve only working at less than half the rate or something.

Barkley will go in the top 10 this year.

honestly looking at it id rather our FO just draft Geno that way everyone will shut up and stop crying like little bitches and then if he fails everyone can eat crow and if he suceeds like a hof we can all get wasted and party.

Kiper, McShay, etc. have been projecting a LT at #1. Hence forth, Bradly Alberts sucks.

Passing on #1 draft pick . . .

I swear, I'd pass on the 1.1 if I was your FO. Let the time expire, and per NFL rules they could still leap back in before JAX could make their pick. But, they could still make a trade in that small window IF they had all the parties on the phone at the same time.

If your FO doesn't get a deal done before JAX picks, they can keep right on passing and trying to make deals with any other team before Oakland makes their pick, or Philly, etc.

Doing this would induce some panic for other teams to possibly trade up, and KC could still jump right back in at any point to exercise their right over the next team on the board. That's how I read the rules.

i agreee completely QB's come draft time go so quick. Everyone has them projected round 2 etc but just look at players that really needed QB's Miami and Jax. Both jumped on QB's early. Theres no way barkley falls to 2nd round, and if he even gets close im sure someone from 2nd round will trade up to get him.

You haven't been paying attention. Flacco had 11 TDs and 0 INTS in the playoffs. Without that performance they don't overcome the 35 points by Denver and 31 by SF. Baltimore was 13th in points allowed and 17th in yards. Pretty average.

SF in the playoffs gave up 31, 24, and 31 points.

When push comes to shove, the offense wins out.

He will be 29 during the season. That's an almost 30 year old player with an emerging history of back trouble. They seem to feel good about his back - good enough to make only a one-year commitment to him. But back problems don't usually go away once they begin.

If we don't find a successor, we'll be complaining about the terrible protection and the huge hole we have at the second most important position on offense in 1-2 years.

And as important as QBs are, you can't win the super bowl with a hole at LT

Dorsey said he will continue to negotaie with Albert to hopefully grt a long term deal done before the season starts.

If thats not saying **** you joeckel than Idk what is.

Um...link?

Then replace him in the 2014 draft. You can ALWAYS find quality LTs in the draft. Have we ever been in a bad position to draft one? EVER?

If the #1 pick is to be a "for the future" move, we need to go with the QB.

Not that you'll make any sense out of this. You'll just pooh pooh it and keep pounding the same true fan hammer

I jokingly brought this up a few weeks ago...

we would be the franchise to do something like this

lololol

Per Aaron Wilson who is a Ravens Insider.

Dorsey announces the franchise tag for Branden Albert: "We will continue to negotiate with Branden and his agent to reach a deal'
