Flacco @ 32

Just wanted to make a comment about davehowardcustom's Diary.....
I have really been watching alot of tape on Joe Flacco...I have come to this conclusion. If he makes it to #32..considering we are on a 3 year rebuilding plan..I say he would be worth that investment. The guy is HUGE and that is where the league has been going for the last 5 years or so. Also he has alot of raw talent with a big accurate arm on short to mids..needs more work on the long accuraccy...also taking into account the teams that he has faced are not near the pressure he will feel in the NFL..That alone can make an accurate college QB look confused and inaccurate.
Yeah it is a pretty high investment..but if he is still around at 32...it may end up being the steal of the draft...I think he has almost as much potential as Ryan. I am also a fan of Beck's...Don't think he has had a fair shot yet. But you can never have enough insurance...especially semi-cheap insurance.
Besides there is more nightlife on South Beach than in Delaware...He would love it..LOl..
Thoughts?

If we think

Beck deserves a shot then we should not take a QB before 58 (the pick we got from the Chargers). Use that pick on a QB or the first pick in round three or four. The first pick of the second round will have a lot of value and grabbing another QB, if we think Beck deserves more time, would not be the right thing to do. If we don't think Beck can do it then sure grab Flacco at 32. But if Parcells and Co. like Beck, don't take a QB until 58 at the earliest.

I like Flacco but not enough to warrant the first pick of the second round. If we take Chris Long we will need to grab an OT there. If we take Jake Long first, we should find great value in a CB or possibly safety with the 32nd pick (if Kenny Phillips falls that far). To me, a QB before number 58 would be a waste.

I wish....

There was never any hype on Flacco. He has been hyped so much because he his a freak out of a small school, instead of a steal in the 4th round he may be a bust in the 1st. If we miss him theres always Chad Henne or Josh Johnson in the later rounds. Personally i think we should bring back marcus vick......JOKE!

Give Beck a Chance
