The Denver Broncos are trading for Joe Flacco. I’ve always liked Flacco, I think he got a raw deal in Baltimore and believe the Ravens will come to regret handing their reins to Lamar Jackson, a quarterback whose passing ability has limited upside.
But enough about that. How does the trade affect the issue most relevant to us: Kyler Murray’s draft stock?
Seems almost certain that Murray will go in the first round. Jackson himself went in the first round last spring, and Jackson would not have been in the upper two thirds of Big 12 arms, had Louisville been in the conference.
