Inking Draft Picks?

**hookml** · 07-02-2008, 11:11 AM

Anyone know what the status is of the Ravens signing some of our top draft picks? I haven't heard anything about negotiations between the team and Flacco, Rice, Gooden, etc. in a while.

I've not heard or read anything but it certainly always seems to me that we never start to sign our draft picks until at the earliest two weeks before TC, so it doesn't surprise me that there's no news yet.

the 1st rounder is usually the only one that gets news stories before they actually sign. You'll se a flurry of them a week or two prior to camp...Flacco I'm almost suprised isn't done yet, since both sides have said they won't have a holdout, but it could be both sides trying to use up whatever leverage they can.

I predict Flacco will sign a day or two before camp, and everyone else will sign a week or 5 days ahead of camp.

All draft picks from the second round on will be signed with less than two weeks to go before Training Camp almost without warning. Flacco on the other hand is no guarantee, but look for him to sign before Training Camp.
