Quote:AFC North Rumors: Ravens, Jernigan, Browns

 

Per (https://www.profootballrumors.com/)

 

The 
Ravens should only trade 
<strong>Timmy Jernigan</strong> if they can get a second-day draft pick in return, and that seems unlikely, 
Jeff Zrebiec of The Baltimore Sun writes. There has been speculation that the defensive tackle could be on the block and 
coach John Harbaugh didn’t do much to slow down that talk when asked about it earlier this week. Jernigan, who is entering his contract year, appeared in every regular season game last season and totaled five sacks. He seemed to run out of gas towards the end of the season and his playing time was slashed down the stretch, but he still stands as Baltimore’s only interior pass-rush threat.


 

My commentary:

 

Given that Timmy Jernigan had 5 sacks for the Ravens in 2016 from the interior, I could see him as a rotational guy with Malik Jackson at the 3 Tech DT.


I might give up the Jags Rd 4 and latter Rd 7 Pick in a trade for Jernigan.

It is not a Day Two Pick but it is a high Day 3 Pick

 

Your thoughts?

 

 

I'd want to get picks in this draft.  Not give them.  

 

The DTs on this roster currently are: 

Michael Bennett, Sheldon Day, Calais Campbell (on nickel downs), Abry Jones, Malik Jackson, Louis Nix

 

Factor in the possibility of Jon Allen in the first round and I don't see a reason to squander a pick for a rotational DT.  

Hell, they just let SenDerrick Marks walk. If they were hard up enough for a guy to get 20 snaps a game at 3 tech to blow a pick on him, they'd have just kept Marks.
