Everybody said we would probably take him later.

Very interesting.

PR move more than anything, but what is the harm with a 31st round pick? Give the kid a shot and see what he does with it. Good for the Flacco family, the new darlings of Baltimore.

[McLovin]

No harm can come of this, and it's a nice story. Well done.

[NewMarketSean]

Awesome. Now I can get a Flacco O's jersey.

Yep, it's a 31st round pick? Why not?

As long as it's a Bluefield O's jersey you will fine.

Exactly--much better to use a 31st round pick for sentimental reasons than, say, I don't know, a twelth round pick.

Not every O's fan is a Ravens fan. Any redskins family members in the draft?

[LookinUp]

Yeah, but it's still a neat thing to do. And, as another poster said, it seems to make more sense than the Bumbry pick.

Get out of here with that Redskins garbage!! Let's go Ravens!! At least we can agree on the O's!

Check the Nationals draft.

Hehe...just thought I'd be the turd in the punch bowl. At least I'm not a steelers fan. I believe that there are a few of them wandering around here too.

I heard that Snyder told Cerratto to find out if the Skins could enter this draft and get Flacco to replace Campbell. Does that help?

I was ten rounds off. I had the O's popping him in round 40, 41.
