Starting left tackle Jared Gaither, a restricted free agent, represents the Ravens' best shot at getting an additional pick in the first or second round.
No team official has said the Ravens would give up Gaither for a high pick, but the team seemingly announced it would listen to offers by giving Gaither a first-round tender as a restricted free agent instead of the high one (which would require teams to give up picks in the first and third rounds).
So, would the Ravens keep Gaither if offered a first- or second-round pick? It’s a decision they might soon have to face.
Four teams who could show interest are the San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks, Dallas Cowboys and Indianapolis Colts. The Ravens still have the first right of refusal and can keep Gaither by matching any offer.
If the Ravens let go of Gaither, they would move 2009 first-round pick Michael Oher to left tackle, where he made five starts last season. The team would have to fill Oher's void at right tackle.
At this point, the Ravens only have two picks in the first four rounds of the NFL draft.
this is from the baltimore sun, i wonder if the f**ks over at bleacher report saw this and saw the 49ers were listed first so they assumed that meant we were the leading contenders
If I was Scott, I'd make this move ASAP. I'd much rather have a proven tackle than a rookie
