By 3/4 of the way through the season, you're probably expecting that rookie to start, and by then, you'd hope he could.
Not only that aspect, but the Ravens have outright said they really want to bring Ronnie back. I think if they really want him, he'll sign there.
I believe we're looking squarely at Dan Moore Jr, Cam Robinson, and Jaylon Moore as potential solutions, and Jaylon Moore has very limited experience. If that's not a shit sandwich, I don't know what is. I'd just as much like to take a shot on Jaylon Moore getting better over those other two.
Cam Robinson is worse than Wanya Morris. Why on Earth people think he's a legitimate solution is beyond my comprehension. Dan Moore is a step above Robinson. Jaylon Moore played better than either in limited work.
Hell, I'd probably trade Trey Smith to Chicago for Braxton Jones and some picks if they aren't committed to him long-term over any of those guys. He's been knicked up, though, too. I am confident Chicago is taking a LT at #10. Poles already came out and said there would be competition at the position. They sit in a really good spot to get Simmons.

This is my, slightly risky, plan A right now. Only 27, room to grow, has improved year to year. We have no idea what he looks like as a starter and how he'll hold up. On the other hand, he's hopefully fresh. Most importantly, he SHOULD cost less than other options.
I wonder if the more realistic way of utilising Trey Smith is a trade and using assets gained for a trade up to get Conerly? I mean, no idea where that guy goes, but do they give up Braxton Jones given he seems to be a really solid LT?
