My list of guys are guys that no matter the scheme, are 0 risk players in my opinion.
On your list I'll go in order:
Fitz- too old now, too much to give up anyway
Ngata- Maybe, he could also be good because of the ravens defense ie, Suggs, Reed, Lewis is my minor concern
Graham and Gronk- Thought about them, but they both have been injury prone of late. Graham I'd give the slight edge too, but he can't block that great.
Jahri Evans, Geno Atkins, Joe Thomas--don't fit our scheme on offense. Nor does Geno on a 3-4 defense, at least I don't think so, therefore its a risk I'm not willing to take, see haynesworth.
Wilfork--If it were 2 years ago yes, but now no
Ray Rice--He'd be pricey, the ravens wouldn't trade him, and running backs like him are a lot easier to find, than a RB like Peterson.
Patrick Peterson-- I've seen enough potential with him to say he'd be good in any scheme, and if you read my previous post his name is included...
Daryl Washington, Calais Campbell--They run a 3-4 but it is supposedly different than our 3-4. I want to see more than just 1 good year from DW to say definite yes or nos. He joins the maybe crowd with Ngata. Calais, he's good, but he takes off plays a lot too. Would he do that here or stay the same? Questions, little ones, that make you question a big trade like him.
Chancellor-- I question some of his man coverage ability. I really think that he is being covered up by Earl Thomas and the 2 CBs, which is whats making him look great. Is he a great safety? sure. But would I give up a lot for him as opposed to drafting someone? No.
DQwell--No, he too is injury prone.
Julio--No he, like Garcon, can't stay healthy
AJ Green-- Yes I would trade for him, doubt that Cincy trades him though since he's their best player (I put Calvin on my list, because if Detroit keeps sucking they maybe forced to trade him for lots of picks and players down the road)
