give Dalton a decent pocket atleast sometimes unlike Bodine. Just doubt the Ravens let him test FA much.

I also really like the upside of the top 3 Centers in this draft Ragnow, Price and Daniels i would all be ecstatic with.

I'm not so sure about that.  In their list of top 25 NFL free agents, The Sporting News described Jensen as "A very powerful run blocker".  Even though we have one guy on here that claims otherwise.

I must admit, other than when they play the Bengals, I really don't watch too much of the Ravens.  And, it's tough to make a call based on his play versus the Bengals, as the defense was pretty slack versus the run this season.


This is pretty interesting.  They rate every Center in the NFL and establish a numerical value to their performance in each facet of their respective game.

Then, this article quotes PFF ratings (I know, we're supposed to ignore these...), and PFF has Jensen ranked 3rd overall, as well as 3rd in run blocking.
