Joe Flacco is one of the most intriguing guys out there
Which is why I decided to write about him for today's newspaper.
Flacco is the Delaware quarterback who has wowed scouts during the off-season with a series of strong workouts. Sure, it was only a Division I-AA program he played at, but at 6-6 with an exceptional arm, he is not likely to last past the top part of the second round on Saturday.
Interesting Giants' connection here: Flacco trained in the off-season with former Jints QB Scott Brunner, who also went to Delaware.
Among the teams that have shown interest in the kid: the Jets. Not sure what they'd do if Flacco fell to them in the first round, but I believe there is a decent possibility they'd add him to the mix with Chad P. and Kellen C.
The Packers will give him serious consideration at No. 30, and the Seahawks, Ravens, Falcons, Vikings and Chiefs are also interested. The Dolphins expressed early interest, but backed off in recent weeks. Still, that doesn't mean they're out of the picture.

Bob...The USC QB would be a perfect fit for the Jets...I can just hear it now...With the sixth pick in the NFL draft the N Y Jets have decided to make to make a "Booty" call.
Conerly:
Brunner does some coaching, but his full-time gig is on Wall St.
I think Parcells trades back into the late first round, possible by moving Jason Taylor, and selects Flacco.
I am sure Flacco would be there for the Jets in Round One. You meant second round right?
