Super Nomario said:Looking to add to OL depth, the Ravens select C J.C. Tretter from the Packers.
Tretter was a fourth-round pick for Green Bay last year but broke his ankle in OTAs and essentially redshirted after his return from the PUP list. Still, the Pack thought enough of his progress to let Evan Dietrich-Smith go in free agency. Tretter played tight end and tackle at Cornell but at 6'3" 307 has ideal size for the inside. He's a good athlete with a rep for solid technique and, as you'd expect from an Ivy Leaguer, high intelligence. He's gotten pub this offseason for his work ethic - apparently he stayed in Wisconsin all offseason and was at the team facility almost every day, practicing snapping with his sister, and hitting the weights. He'll compete with Kory Lichtensteiger for the starting gig, and at 23 he's the future.
The Ravens OL now consists of six players who project to start for their real-life teams, and a seventh in Don Barclay who will end up starting whenever Bryan Bulaga gets hurt again. Tretter, Barclay, Alex Boone, Lichtensteiger, and Shelley Smith all have the flexibility to play multiple spots along the line. With those guys in the interior and the young tackle tandem of Anthonys Castonzo and Davis, the Ravens figure to have a line that can protect Kaepernick and open up holes in the running game.

FAKE EDIT: Feel like I'm making a mistake not continuing the run on Khairis / Khyris

I got mixed up on who was on the clock. MMS was on the clock, but I'll send SPDougie a PM now to let him know he can pick.
Edit: I see MMS is here and just made a pick, did you PM Dougie?
Shouldn't this be in the post here if you've been drinking thread? What do you think about Stanford's program next yearOld Fart Tree said:Man, a lot of good discussion in this thread. What's weirdly lacking is discussion of how thoroughly the Raiders have fucking *crushed* this draft and are the odds on favorite to win it all next year.
Spreadsheet updated through this pick. I'm not creating a new column for your second FB since I imagine you'll be the only one going that deep.soxfan121 said:Anthony Sherman (Tank), FB (Kansas City)
