1. (18) Joe Flacco, QB

Blogged under Bloglockers, The Draft Report, Front Page, General by admin on Sunday 27 April 2008 at 9:52 pm

The Ravens traded up to nab QB Joe Flacco who they had rated as the #2 QB in this draft.  Flacco has nice size at 6′6″, 232 pounds but he doesn’t have much agility and he runs a 4.95 40.  Flacco has a very strong arm but he played against very weak competition at Delaware and he didn’t have to pay for mistakes he made at that level.  Flacco played in 29 games (26 starts) at Pittsburgh & Delaware and he completed 596 of 942 passes (63.3%) for 7,057 yards with 41 TD passes and 15 interceptions.  Flacco will battle Kyle Boller and Troy Smith for the starting job in Training Camp and the pre-season.  This could be a little bit of a reach where the Ravens took him.
