Other then that though Baltimore is pretty much "money" when it comes to making picks. A bunch of their picks in redrafts would easily be top 10, even top 5 picks (Reed, Lewis, Ngota, Suggs, Oher, Flacco, Grubbs)
I personally think Newsome and company are far and away the best front office in the game. Most front offices that are considered elite do well on a QB and ride that wave of success, while the Ravens have done what they have been doing for years without a franchise QB. Now that they have Flacco the skies the limit.

What's crazy is that the Ravens traded a 2003 2nd and a 2004 1st for the chance to draft Boller.
What's even crazier is that he's not even the guy they wanted. That was the year they were trying to draft Leftwich and were working on a trade with the Vikings to move from #10 to #7. But I guess amidst all the confusion, Tice and the Vikings missed their allotted time to make their selection and the Jaguars jumped in and took Leftwich
