The Jared Gaither Thread **Merged**

[mmillman]

Gaither is young and better than almost every tackle in the draft so heck yes!!!!!

If money isn't an issue than we'd be out of our minds to pick any linemen in this draft over Gaither.

I expect something to happen next week with us and Gaither. It just makes to much sense.

I just don't see it happening. I wouldn't be upset if we did, but it just doesn't seem like a move Jerry would do.

And if we did get him does that mean we cut Flo? Because we would have 4 starting caliber OT's if we pulled this off.

Romo is playing for 10 more years?

I could see Romo playing another 10 years. Or at least close to it. Because of the rules to protect quarterbacks, you now see many of them play till around 40. Okay well Favre and Warner, but I think Romo will be able to do it as well.

 

[dbair1967]

Gaither is a top 5 young OT in the game imo.
I'd be all over it, but JJ needs to move fast and be the first to get him to sign an offer sheet. By all accounts the 49ers like him too.

Not that the Ravens have ANY say in which team signs him and he can only sign ONE offer sheet. I'm all over this!!

If he were a top 5 tackle in the game, the Ravens would have done alot more to protect him. Some fo you are going vastly overboard with how good this guy really is.

Yeah we would cut Flo.


We need to dump Flo and Hamlins contracts this offseason. Especially Hamlin.

Getting Gaither is basically a get by free card for all the bad drafting and not going for quality at that position.

They have a lot of guys they are about to pay big money too and they have Oher.

Gaithers legit and there is no getting around it.

I would take him over Okung or any other linemen in this draft.

he's not a top 5 tackle as of right now but I have no doubt he will be. He's only 24. Potential galore.

Free looked really good last yr. They supposedly like Brewster too, and he needs his chance to prove himself before people write him off.

Our scouting department is doing a damn goosd job, this team is loaded with alot of really good players. Continuing to crucify them over some bad picks that guys made (who arnt even here anymore) isnt right.

It's been oline in general. They did a good job with Free but he is no Gaither.

Gaither and Free would be bookends for years.

Do it now and just be done with it and answer all of our franchise tackle issues.

 

[Nexx]

you know the ravens are moving him to RT don't you?

ok, so free at LT and Gaither at RT, sounds good to me.

But you know, Brewster wasnt drafted in Round 1, so therefore he sucks, and can't possibly come in and contribute..........

Gaither would be the left tackle.


I don't guess dbair has seen a lot of this guy.

I thought Brewster was being looked at as a guard.

 

[CATCH17]

I thought Brewster was being looked at as a guard.

I think if he ever starts it will be as a guard but the Cowboys want him as a guard / tackle swingman for now to save roster spots.

Oh, okay. If he could ever start at guard that would make getting Gaither better, because I doubt anyone is going to beat Bigg out. I still don't think we will get Gaither, but I wouldn't be upset if it happened.

 

[NeonNinja]

wow...just wow

What is so "wow" about what he said? Okung or any OL rookie is an unknown and Gaither has shown he can play at a high level.

 

[CATCH17]

Oh, okay. If he could ever start at guard that would make getting Gaither better, because I doubt anyone is going to beat Bigg out. I still don't think we will get Gaither, but I wouldn't be upset if it happened.

Yeah if we don't get Gaither then that's fine but I don't think we can justify taking Iupati or any other linemen with that pick over Gaither.

We can also free ourselves of Flos contract.

This seems like a bit of a reach Dblair. Brewster was a project even before he was injured. He now has to still get acclaimated and learn on the field. He MIGHT be very good, but he also might just as easily be a bust and anyone claiming to know one way or another is dellusional.

all should note this moment. I agree with canadian.


You may now board the straight to hell express.

please watch your step.

Fuel to the fire...

After assigning him just a first-round tender, the Ravens are believed to be willing to move restricted free agent LT Jared Gaither.
Gaither would've gotten the first- and third-round tender if the Ravens were truly intent on keeping him. The Ravens want to move Michael Oher to left tackle. The Baltimore Sun suggests four possible destinations for Gaither: San Francisco, Indianapolis, Dallas, and Seattle. Teams targeting Gaither could probably work out a deal for less than the first-round pick.
