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.
