Chris Chester for a 3rd?

[Teague31]

From Vela:

Chris Chester -- Bill Parcells was very interested in the Oklahoma C/G when he came out in '06. The Ravens picked Chester in the 2nd round and he's become their right guard, starting 24 of Baltimore's 32 games the last two seasons. He's tendered at a 3rd rounder, and could represent a better bet than any rookie Dallas might claim there. He's 6'3", 315 lbs., which fits the Cowboys size profiles. The Ravens run the same power game Dallas likes. I don't know if Baltimore would take less than a 3rd, but the Ravens want to obtain more picks. The Anquan Boldin deal means they have just two picks in the first four rounds.

I don't know anything about him. How well does he pick up blitzers through the gaps between C/G and G/T? Does he play with good leverage so he doesn't get pushed back into the pocket?

I'm not up on the rules. How did they tender him a 3rd? I thought it was only 1st and 3rd, 1st, 2nd and original.

Looks like he's had some snaps at C too.

He will be turning 27 this season though.

I think JD Walton in the 3rd could have the same production and is younger.

He's a pretty good player.

He's a C/OG.

Could play backup C/OG this year and possibly start in 2011. He's turning 27 this season so he's got 4-5 years.

For me he has 3 things going against him. First, according to NFL.com, he was given an original tender (2nd). Second, he's not getting any younger. Third, Parcells was interested in him. Pass.
