Nearly eight months ago, Baltimore Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome, reclining in a McDaniel College dorm room during training camp, let out a deep sigh and contemplated the future of his roster. Steve McNair was aging, Kyle Boller wasn't an acceptable long-term option, and Troy Smith looked like he had years of development ahead. If the quarterback was supposed to be the tip of the sword in an offense, Newsome's options wouldn't be breaking skin much longer.
When the subject of a franchise quarterback arose, Newsome didn't even wait for a visitor to finish his question: "Next year, would you be willing to spend a first-round …"
"Yes," Newsome said, leaning forward with conviction. "That might be the time. We were involved in the talks (to draft) Brady Quinn. There have been some good quarterbacks to slip down in the first round the last few years."
