Ravens Trade Up

They did what I thought they might and traded back up to the 18th overall to take a QB. 

And my goodness. Okay. This is my prediction. The Ravens have continued their search for mediocrity at the QB level by taking Joe Flacco. Let's go over this.

The Ravens are currently saddled with a past 'QB of the Future' who was drafted because of his huge arm. The Ravens now have a current 'QB of the Future' who was drafted because of his big arm.

The largest hit against Joe Flacco is that be played at a small school, Delaware. The reason? Because the couldn't unseat Tyler Palko for the starting job. Palko is now a third string QB for New Orleans. If he couldn't unseat that guy, why is he now a 1rst round pick? 

The biggest reason I think this is a ridiculous trade? Brian Brohm is still on the board. Brohm, consensus number one selection at the beginning of the season, is now in relative free fall. Mark my words, Brohm will have a better pro career than Flacco and the Ravens will regret this.
