    Welcome to Baltimore Gino Gradkowski C Delaware

    http://espn.go.com/college-football/...ino-gradkowski


    Way off the board pick ...Ozzie must know something we dont. Guy is very small to play guard 295 lbs. So he's probably going to be a center.

    Jason La Canfora tweeted that "smart" teams had a 3rd round grade on Gradkowski. Could compete at Guard and eventually play Center.

    I don't disagree. Aaron Wilson is the one who said that he could compete for starting Guard spot. Gradkowski said that he's excited to learn behind Birk.

    Definitely a center. Even at center I question whether he can handle the big NTs he will face.

    Interesting pick, but........6'-4" and 295 lbs is small in what world? Betcha if he weighed 5 pound more, nary a word would have been said. No doubt, he will beef up a little anyway.

    Well he is listed at 6'4 but is actually 6'2 from what I've been reading. 295/300 is a little light with how big and strong NTs have become. Wilfork, Hampton, Ngata have 40-50lbs on these guys.

    Good thing Ngata's on our team! I think we view this guy as the long term Center replacement. I also see him listed as 6'2". Like I said La Canfora said the SMART teams had a 3rd round grade on him so another team probably was gonna draft him soon. Probably the Patriots!

    Every year we hear this about some crap offensive lineman the Ravens had to jump on because he was moving up the charts. Terry, Cousins, Reid, Harewood...

    Wouldnt be surprised if the Patriots drafted him since hos brother was there and probably lobbying for it. The guy is a C in the NFL.

    Agreed. Mulitalo was our last good pick for an OL in the later rounds. If Reid becomes a good RT and Gradkowski turns into Jeff Saturday, version 2.0, then all is forgiven.

    They took Hightower from us. So we took Gino. Revenge is a b*tch.

    Not piling on here...hope this guy pans out(etc.)... but this guy graded out at 50(91st pick) and there were players taken after him scoring in the 80's....really seems like a reach for such a high pick.
