    You might want to pass on Gaither. Back problems are hard to over come for an O lineman. I asked my son (who lives in Bmore and a huge Ravens fan) about him last spring. He said he is a *****, lazy, doesn't work hard and over weight. He fell out of favor with the Ravens fr a reason.

    Gaither is so injury prone. Got great upside. Maybe bring him in put #77 on him ( seems to be a charmed # for Chiefs LT's that have worn it, if you know Chiefs history ) and his physical fortunes might change. However, I'd want him at LT as he was pretty good at that position when he did play.
    Yeah. I prefer a guy who is capable of competing for the LOT spot, or ROT.

    The injury situation is definitely 'iffy'. But I think it may be worth the risk.

    I believe that the third rounder we could have had him with would have come from the following seasons draft. That means DaJuan Morgan at #82; Brad Cottam at #76; or Jamaal Charles at #73.

    If memory serves, then we could have used a lower third to acquire him, meaning Cottam or Morgan.

    But we would have done it without seeing the '08 draft options, as it would have been almost a year prior to it.

    I didn't hear anything about him falling out of The Ravens' favor. Just a back injury, as far as I had known.

    That doesn't mean it isn't true. Just that this the first I have heard of it.
