We can offer pick 31, in the top 40, yes?

He played LT last year and from what I can tell performed quite well. Thats already ahead of any LT we could take at 31. He is young and worth a late first rounder.

I guess I dont get the hate for this guy?

Yeah, I get it. In that case I think you just roll with Reiff (give him 2 years, maybe 3 if necessary) or Villanueva and work on a different long-term solution next offseason.

This T draft is SO deep, though. It's deep enough that guys like Little and Hudson look like round 3 guys (going off the mock draft database consensus big board). It would be hard to pass up the opportunity to get real value much later than normal. Especially since it's a long-term need.

I can spend 2 1's and get a blue chip prospect higher in the draft than sitting at the end of the first round and taking a developmental guy.

Tunsil will be too much in draft resources.

Dillard is a possibility if Veach likes him, and he won't cost more than a #31. He was a #22 pick, had a rough rookie year at RT and missed year two with a torn bicep. He might cost you #63, and I think that's a reasonable risk IF Veach likes him. He's had a couple of years of NFL coaching and conditioning at least.

More likely I think is a Reiff/Okung type on a short deal and a Radunz/Little type draftee.

Your short term is covered, you're working towards the future, and you haven't screwed your cap so you can still look to fill other weak spots.

Im not convinced about the scheme being a bad fit. He performed well in the scheme he was in and we dont really know that he couldnt perform in another type scheme unless we see it.
Ravens probably would prefer to NOT trade with us but if we have the best offer than maybe. We have seen inter division trades recently its not like it used to be.

If we could get Dillard for 63 and as you say Veach likes him, I would love to see that. I would probably put that ahead of Brown.

I just dont think ruling Brown out is a good idea. In fact I would strongly consider it.

Show me where the Ravens offense matches up with what the Chiefs do.

That WR market is shit right now. I hope Veach is out there getting ready to snag one.

They'll probably bring back Watkins.

The thing is, will the Ravens consider it, considering the Chiefs are their main nemesis in the AFC?

It's a non-starter if you think about it that way.
