Chiefs Would you be opposed to?....

Sending the Ravens a 2nd round pick (the first one) for Jared Gaither?

Only 23 years old. Mountain of a man. Solid experience. They apparently want to move Michael Oher to LT.

I would do it with one condition, that Albert has to play LG. I do not want Albert at RT.

Waters could try to move to RG, if not, cut him.

Thoughts?

Albert would be terrible at LG.

Why would Albert be successful at left guard?

I don't know, maybe that's the position he earned all his praise for in college?

You're a dumbass for assuming Albert would automatically be successful at guard.

He's not the same player he was in college. His body has changed. He hasn't played left guard in TWO YEARS and hasn't learned SHIT about how to do it at the NFL level.

It would likely be another transition and a tough year for him.

Would prefer we sent pick 2b, but... I'd take him.

I wish we had gotten him in the supplemental draft 3 years ago.

Deberg_1990 · 03-07-2010, 12:34 PM

Why are they wanting to move him? Is he not that good??

From what I heard...

They want Oher at LT, and they feel that it will be too expensive to keep him next year.

They tendered him at a 1 only and they have said they might take less compensation to get a deal done.

he is good but he has neck, ankle and foot injuries and if the Ravens are concerned then...well... you get the idea.

He's a pretty solid LT, actually.

Oher has tremendous upside, and the Raven used a first round pick on him, so they must feel they need to move him to maximize his value.

But at the same time, they used a first round pick on Gaither.

But I think I'd bring in Gaither and let he amd Albert compete for teh LT position.

I honestly believe, if Albert has dedicated himself to learning and improving technique through this offseason (and I believe he has), that he wins the battle, and you have a guy in Gaither with the athletic ability and size to be a dominating RT.

Though why the Ravens wouldn't simply flip flop positions between Oher and Gaither would be a head scratcher to me.

I'm sold. But still nothing more than the 50.
