OWINGS MILLS http://www.indianapoliscoltsteamonline.com/bobby-okereke-jersey , Md. (AP)Making three trades during the first round of the NFL draft evidently wasn’t enough action for Baltimore Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome, who extended the swap-fest into Day 2.After going through the second round Friday night without a pick, Newsome moved back twice during the third round before finally settling on offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr. of Oklahoma with the 83rd overall selection and Oklahoma tight end Mark Andrews at No. 86.”Another long day,” Newsome said after his work was done.Brown is the son of the late Orlando ”Zeus’ Brown, who spent part of his 11-year NFL career as a tackle with the Ravens. The younger Brown fills a pressing need, because the Ravens failed to exercise the option of right tackle Austin Howard.”Orlando is one of the first players I looked at this year,” assistant general manager Eric DeCosta said. ”Just a very, very good player. Physical, tough, nasty, didn’t get beat. Just the type of guy we’ve had success with in the past.”The 6-foot-8 http://www.jacksonvillejaguarsteamonline.com/jawaan-taylor-jersey , 345-pound Brown fared poorly at the scouting combine, but DeCosta dismissed that because the tackle fared so well in game competition.Baltimore took tight end Hayden Hurst with its first pick, and now it appears as if both rookie tight ends will be catching passes from quarterback Joe Flacco at training camp.Newsome, a Hall of Fame tight end, was asked if he got a thrill out of picking tight ends so early during his final draft with the Ravens.”I hope Joe enjoys these tight ends as much as I enjoy these tight ends,” Newsome replied.The pick used on Brown was one Baltimore had entering the draft. The one for Andrews – Oklahoma’s career leader in receiving yards by a tight end – came in a trade with Kansas City.As a result of his dealings, Newsome has set himself up for a very busy day Saturday.The Ravens have three picks in the fourth round, one in the fifth, two in the sixth round and one seventh-round selection.”Our board really looks good, and think we will still be able to add some quality football players to our roster,” Newsome said.Newsome’s first trade of the night was No. 65 to Oakland for Nos. 75 (third round) http://www.jacksonvillejaguarsteamonline.com/gardner-minshew-ii-jersey , 152 (fifth) and 212 (sixth).He then dished off that No. 75 to Kansas City for 86 and 122. The reason the Ravens entered the night with a second-round pick is because Newsome traded it to Philadelphia in the deal that enabled the Ravens to snag Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson with the 32nd overall pick.Jackson was joined by Hurst for a session with the local media Friday.Ravens coach John Harbaugh emphatically reminded everyone Thursday night that Flacco is the team’s starting quarterback, and offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg echoed that assertion on Friday.”Joe’s the quarterback of this football team. Lamar is going to develop,” Mornhinweg said.Though Jackson won a Heisman Trophy in 2016, from his point of view that’s not as significant the Super Bowl MVP trophy that Flacco owns.”If you win the Super Bowl, you’re the G.O.A.T. to me,” Jackson said. ”So I’m going to try to learn as much as I can from Joe Flacco.”Experience counts in the NFL, but versatility in the pocket counts for something, too. Flacco has run for 17 touchdowns in his 10-year career (including playoffs). Jackson ran for 50 in his three years with the Cardinals.”I can make any throw on the field,” Jackson said, ”but I can bring something else to the table, and that’s dynamic running ability.”Hurst http://www.losangelesramsteamonline.com/darrell-henderson-jersey , the 25th overall pick, was taken after Newsome twice traded back in the first round.Given that Hurst was taken in the 17th round by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2012, he had no complaints about watching 24 picks go before him.”I sat around waiting for my name to be called,” he said, ”but I couldn’t be more excited to be part of this organization. Being in the same uniform as Ed Reed and Ray Lewis is extremely humbling.”Newsome will be stepping down after this season. DeCosta will take over in 2019.— SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers have plenty of holes to fill before their Week 2 game against the Detroit Lions — starting on the offensive line.Two right guards were lost to injury in Sunday’s 24-16 loss at Minnesota. The good news for San Francisco is that none of the injuries the team suffered Sunday appear to be season-ending.Right guard Mike Person left in the second quarter with a strained foot. His replacement, Joshua Garnett, exited with a dislocated toe on his left foot the third quarter. That meant rookie Mike McGlinchey had to shift from right tackle to guard in his NFL debut.Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that he didn’t have a timetable for the return of Person or Garnett, but he expressed relief that neither appears to be a candidate for season-ending injured reserve.The 49ers have a spot open on the 53-man roster, and Shanahan said several players will be brought in for workouts, with the idea of adding someone to the active roster by Wednesday.“I know we’ve got some workouts. We’re bringing in (players at) a number of positions tomorrow http://www.minnesotavikingsteamonline.com/irv-smith-jr.-jersey ,” Shanahan said. “We’ve got some guys who are a possibility. We’ve got guys who are a possibility on the practice squad.”Receiver Marquise Goodwin, who collided with a defender in the second quarter Sunday, has a deep thigh bruise on his right leg and is day-to-day.Should he miss time, it could open up a bigger role for rookie Dante Pettis, who caught a 22-yard touchdown from Jimmy Garoppolo for his first career catch.Linebacker Brock Coyle, who started Sunday for the injured Malcolm Smith, is in the concussion protocol. He’d have to be cleared by doctors to play against Detroit.With the right side of the offensive line disrupted by injuries, the Vikings put consistent pressure on Garoppolo and sacked him three times.After Person and Garnett left the game, the 49ers turned to reserve tackle Garry Gilliam, who had exited the concussion protocol a few days before the opener. Gilliam took over at right tackle as McGlinchey shifted to guard.Person is also the backup to center Weston Richburg. But if Erik Magnuson can return from a hamstring injury this week, it would provide a boost as he can also play center.Shanahan was pleased with McGlinchey http://www.newyorkgiantsteamonline.com/dexter-lawrence-jersey , the No. 9 overall draft pick out of Notre Dame, who held his own after moving to guard.“It was his first NFL game, he had never played guard and you could see there was nothing about him that was scared to try it,” Shanahan said. “He had to do it and he didn’t flinch at all.”NOTES: Shanahan reiterated the missed opportunities in the red zone Sunday, as the 49ers scored just one touchdown with four opportunities inside the Vikings’ 20. Asked by a reporter if he would consider using more run-pass options in the red zone, Shanahan replied: “We (tried) one yesterday. … The RPO questions are getting hilarious to me. It’s not just you. It’s the whole planet right now.”
