Besides Joe Flacco, the Ravens have Hunter Cantwell and Marc Bulger, who is a free agent. Bulger may be headed to Arizona, though. (Apparently Troy Smith and John Beck = no longer Ravens. Thanks everyone)
If a QB is taken in the draft, director of player personnel Eric DeCosta told the team website it wouldn’t be in the first round.
“If there’s a [quarterback] available that we like, we’ll pull the trigger if we think he’ll make us better,” DeCosta said.
The Sun’s Matt Vensel reasons that Baltimore may look to add a developmental quarterback. If he’s right, Baltimore could use one of its late-round picks on a quarterback. Currently the Ravens are without a fifth-round pick, but are due a conditional pick from St. Louis in the
trade.There are a few developmental quarterbacks in this year’s draft, including Virginia Tech’s Tyrod Taylor, Iowa’s Ricky Stanzi and Nevada’s Colin Kaepernick. However, the team might not want to use a pick in the first three rounds on a player like Kaepernick.
