Ravens Trade Up In First Round To Draft Lamar Jackson
7 years agoThe Baltimore Ravens traded up in the first round to select Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson at 32nd overall in the 2018 NFL draft. With Joe Flacco getting older and not looking so hot in recent years, Jackson will become his successor eventually. There have been questions about whether Jackson can succeed at the next level under center, but his athleticism is off the charts. Jackson has a huge arm and can make plays with his legs if the pocket collapses. The Ravens have plenty of upside in their future quarterback, and he'll have around two to three years behind Flacco to develop. Jackson will be a popular dynasty/keeper selection, but you can avoid him in redraft leagues in 2018.
