LT to look at after the 1st round.

Tunsil will be gone when we pick and if we pass on Stanley, what other LTs could you see as a fit with the Ravens?

Denver Kirkland

I think he has a chance to go in 2nd but if we can get him with our 3rd pick, that would be great.

pretty sure Denver Kirkland is going to be a guard

To start in NFL, probably but he started his entire senior season at LT and played very well, though.

Spriggs or Beavers will be there in the second, potentially the third for Beavers. Very under the radar ability of Ozzie is to find quality lineman in the mid rounds, LT is a little harder though. I really like Whitehair in the second because he is obviously a potential replacement for KO and also is versatile enough to be thrusted into LT if Monroe goes down. He will be a Martin like Guard I believe with the upside to play as a good Tackle if needed, at least better than Hurst.

Whitehairs best pro position will be center. He could very likely have size and power issues in the NFL. Not nearly as strong as Martin and Martin is not really a power player. Cody is a athletic and a good sound technician. But not tall or strong enough to effectively play left tackle. And will struggle with powerful explosive penetrators like Atkins or big nose tackles in the NFL as a guard. However ravens have Urschel at center who i like better. He is bigger  stronger and very nasty. Fits what Harbs wants at OLine. If Cody was a little bigger he would be great. Butvhe is a smaller version of Martin and not as Strong.

Zack Martin 6' 4" 315lbs

Cody Whitehair 6' 4" 305lbs 

 

There really isn't a size difference when consider Martin has had a two years of nfl strength and conditioning.

 

 

What about Conklin, Decker, Shell, Spriggs ? I don't follow much about Tackles.

He's a G through and through to me.  He doesn't move near well enough in space for me to want him protecting the edge.

Jason Spriggs or Shon Coleman in the 2nd would be the best options after the first round. I'd love to pick up Spriggs in the 2nd.

I think Spriggs is the best fit for the Ravens Zone scheme.

As mentioned by someone else "the Beavers" (Willie Beavers, Western Michigan) is someone that has the tools just needs a little seasoning I'm hoping he is available in 4-5th but that might be wishful thinking.

Spencer Drango (often called a guard but played OT) is also an intriguing prospect who has a lot of pass protection experience in Baylor's Spread offense.
