    How good can he be, if the Bucs signed EDS in FA?

    Real, Real Good!! The Man is a flat out athletic Beast. His Motor never stops, and he gets to the next level with no problem. Bucs are redoing there whole line. Remember Bobby Rainey. He almost had a 200 yard game running behind Jeremy Zuttah! Not only can he play Center, he can play every position on the O-Line.

    I think something we need to consider is that Birk was PFF's 20th ranked center in 2012 during the Super Bowl run. Zuttah was 22nd last year, so the drop off isn't big between them. He'll have the chance to play with an All-Pro on his right side and a possible Pro-Bowl/All-Pro on his left, which I'm sure eases his concerns some. 

     

    What we're getting is a very young center who can still improve in some aspects, and I'm sure he will given the pedigree of the coaching staff and the players right next to him. Again, the most important aspect will be the fact that he can make the correct calls and reads. Birk wasn't the best blocker, but he lessened it by putting people in the position to succeed and help him out and minimize his deficiencies, something I'm sure Zuttah will do also. This is huge for the Ravens.

     

    This kid is a Beast. Huge upgrade from Gino.

    Then, the question would be: What happens to Gino Gradkowski? No, seriously! Would they cut him, seeing how the front office is trying to lock-up Zuttah to an extension (and everything indicates he'll be playing center)? Or, do they just keep him as depth at either center or guard?

    Depth, and maybe he pans out in the future. We could trade him if he ever does improve.

    could it be because we lost arthur jones and the return of terrence cody is possibly unlikely plus brandon williams is untested over a 16 game season.  hope we get this guy and im sure we draft one as well

    Yeah, we get him and will have no FS,TE, C, RT, and CB! The only DT I would draft is Aaron Donald. We have bigger holes to fill then DT/DE. Guess you forgot about Canty, and the 16 million dollar man Ngata. Who is our 2nd TE, the 3rd CB, the #1 FS, the #1 RT, and the #1 C? A lot of holes, and you can't fill them all with the draft! We need to spend are money wisely! And for Williams being unproven, we spent a 3rd rd pick on him! He deserves a shot! He did very well in the games he did play last year!

    I live in Carolina, but was born a Raised in Baltimore. Smith is a good Wr. He had absolutely no help, besides and old TE by the name of Greg Olsen. He will have a ton of help here. My Question is, how do we fill the rest of our holes now? FS, CB, C, RT, TE, and we still need another WR, because Smith may only play 1 or 2 more years due to his age. If we don't draft a WR out of this Class, we are Insane! We can't have much money left now, and we still have to sign Draft picks. We can thank Haloti Ngata chance I'll take a few million less for the sake of the team! I'm going to say my prayers that Ozzie can work his magic again, and find us some bargain's to help fill these holes.

    Ozzie said after we signed Monroe, that they were going to continue to fix the O-line in free agency. Haven't herd us connected with any O-lineman names with the exception of Mack, who I don't think we will be able to afford. We should be focusing on the O-line before WR. The draft is full of great WR's.

    I would much rather Asa Jackson get a shot at CB then Chykie Brown. Brown is Putrid on defense. He is good on ST, but poor putrid as a DB! Now we need a FS, and A CB. I personally thought Grahm was better then Webb on the outside. Webb should be our Nickel. EVER SINSE WEBB GOT HIS BIG CONTRACT HE HAS NOT LOOKED THE SAME!.In fact the only solid year he had at CB was the year before he received his extension. I believe he isn't putting in the time and effort in the offseason it takes to be a #1 CB.

    We dont have to offer him more, just offer him more then what the browns see his value at, if you are deciding to go that route. Also consider the fact browns might be taking on revis here shortly as thats the talk of most the sports websites

    Ozzie isn't stupid, if anything they will drive his price up so Browns can't make moves like Byrd, or Revis. We won't over pay any player. We can't.

    Yup. And if making a ton of money is more important that winning AND making great money, he'll stay with the Browns. And he'll never taste success for the entire time he is a Brown.

    Does he have a choice? I thought the transition tag means, that the Browns can match any offer if they choose, and Mack would not have a say. Is that incorrect?
