One piece of news that might affect today’s draft was Baltimore quarterback Steve McNair retiring last week. Though he left without as much fanfare as Brett Favre did last month, it brought to a close the career of a veteran, successful quarterback. Remember the hype when McNair came into the league, how he was going to change the game? He might not have changed the game that radically, but his style of play those first few years might have paved the way for Michael Vick and Vince Young. McNair didn’t produce a Hall of Fame career and came up short in the Super Bowl, but still leaves a success.

As for the Ravens, will they draft a QB or stick with Kyle Boller? The future looks bleak.
