Good for you.  We're talking about THIS YEAR.  Get it?  If he turns out OK for the Ravens THIS YEAR will you still be singing the same tune?

Our top TE had 350 yds rcvg last year, and we sent him packing already. Based on what you know about Oliver, do you expect to see even that level of productivity out of him?

What is OK? If he turns out OK, we missed out. I have a feeling we can find someone else to get a couple hundred yards over 16 games.

Did they shop him around first and take the best available offer? Did Oliver ask to be traded and we just didn't hear about it? Are the Jags just trying to stockpile draft picks for a move up in the draft for another TE?

After taking a day to try to process this move, the less it makes sense..  I agree, he should have been held onto and see how he performed in camp, but what do we know right now about the situation?

Dude has 15 career yards, the pick just gave BAL the chance to jump the line for the waiver wire to see if this reclamation project is worth anything. I doubt any team was banging down our door to acquire his services.
