If you'd actually read Romo 2 Austin's post instead of just trying to come at me with name-calling and the almighty language filter, you'd know that Romo 2 Austin was talking of trading Doug Free in order to obtain Gaither.

Reading is a virtue.

Slate's cruise for spring break:

It's not that fact that we could get him for less than the 1st rounder, it's the inevitable monster contract you're going to have to draft immediately thereafter. So you doubly-lose through a sign and trade deal. I don't like sign and trades, and neither does anyone else on this board that isn't a fan of Roy Williams.

Yet everyone wants to make it happen. I laugh.

omg your so cheap

There's 3 positions you pay top dollar for.
QB
LT
RT

Actually no you dont pay high dollar for RT and you left out CB and pass rusher.

I dont read his posts

But you dont want Gaither because he costs alot of money.

Wake up. It's the NFL. LT's get paid. especially 23 year old future perenial probowlers.

Quit crying.

If you keep parroting the same asinine garbage over and over again don't get feelings when people call you on it.

So he's a future perennial Pro Bowl selection how?

And no, if you would READ, you would know that I don't want Gaither because it will cost the Cowboys a lot more than just MONEY. It will cost us draft picks PLUS hinderance on our salary cap which hinders us from re-signing players like MILES AUSTIN who have yet to work out a long term contract, and might not even do so until the salary cap is re-imposed.

Does it make any sense to you yet?

Oh and take out RT and throw in Edge Rusher on that list and you'll be starting to get there. Add CB too.

 

[Canadian BoyzFan]

all should note this moment. I agree with canadian.


You may now board the straight to hell express.

please watch your step.

Do you have me confused with another poster or just don't like Canadians in general?

We need tackle help and will probably pick one in the round one or 2.

What's the difference if we give up a first for Gaither and drafting Campbell in the first?

Oh wait..nothing.

The kids think that if you get a pro bowl quality tackle in the draft you won't eventually have to pay him...

They also think he'll be able to play from the get go.

Gaither replaces Flozell Adams, period and point blank. Not only replaces, but improves the LT position.

but OMGZ it saves us money!!!!

I see nothing but garbage tackles left at 27.

Okung,Williams,Buluga,Davis all gone by 25.

Veldheer is a nice prospect but a huge hit or miss and Capers and Campbell are both garbage.

I'm willing to bet that the people opposed to trading for Gaither have never seen him play before. Here's what a knowledgeable Ravens fan had to say about the issue. I don't see how anyone can be against this.

For every Ryan Clady there are 10 Robert Gallerys. The draft has prospects. With prospects, you make a projection and hope it is realized. Even a franchise as good in the draft as the Ravens recognize that this is anything but a sure thing - ahem Mark Clayton, Travis Taylor, Kyle Boller.

Jared Gaither is a 23-year-old left tackle playing far above the league average at the position. The top OT prospect in this draft, Russell Okung, will be 23 in week four of this coming NFL season. Jared Gaither has over 20 starts against players like James Harrison, Dwight Freeney, and Mario Williams. Russell Okung has... zero.

If he ends up elsewhere, and the Ravens aren't compensated with a top ten draft pick, I'm not sure how they come out on the other side an improved ball club, especially not in 2010-11. And the idea that they would accept a second-round pick for Gaither makes me want to (barf) .

Perhaps they intend to match any offer sheet he may sign.

Maybe they are higher on the long-term potential of a guy like Indiana's Roger Saffold, who is in that late-first, early-second round discussion.

Maybe they want a top ten pick and think they'll get it, so that they can assure themselves a legitimate shot at Dez Bryant. Perhaps they'd then use their second first-rounder to acquire Donald Penn from Tampa Bay. It's the only scenario I've been able to come up with that doesn't make me sick to my stomach.

If this backfires, I'll be very disappointed, and the Ravens will be worse in 2010. Gaither gets a lot of flack for his apparent "quirkiness", but he is one hell of a talent, and he might still be five years away from his prime. And when he's played, he's produced.

Said Jonathan Ogden:

"Yeah, I do," Ogden said Tuesday when asked if he sees a lot of himself in Gaither. "I see a lot of the God-given size and athleticism that you can't coach. This is really, what, his third year now, and what did he come out of Maryland as - a sophomore? He could still be in college or a rookie this year. The guy's got plenty of room to grow. As soon as he gets the game down to where he doesn't have to think about it, that's when he could become something really special."

I said i'd only do that if we had too, I would much prefer to send our 2nd round 2010 pick and Martellus Bennett for Gaither.

Make room for me on the "trade our first rounder for Gaither" bandwagon. I'm jumpin on!!!

We're not drafting Campbell in the first.

And cute of you to jump on the bandwagon in the post above, but a resounding "he's got big potential" is no reason to claim some ridiculous "Owned and /thread" positioning.

"Big Potential" != $60M+ contract plus draft picks.

Its potential thats been shown on the NFL field and not the College field / Weight room.

I'm sorry..are you still yappin?

It's cute to see you scratch and claw to stay above my logic.

Potential like Roy Williams' potential, for example?

Logic? Cute signature. Add Atari Bigby down there too - he's available. Or how about Jahri Evans - the Saints haven't signed him yet we can still get him too.
