So did Tampa Bay. Not just Baltimore...

True

Therefore, the seven draft picks they currently have are going to be gold to the front office.

We have 8 draft choices.

Where does the 8th pick come from? The 7th round pick for Taylor Mays is for the 2013 draft.

Hmm I havn't seen anything suggesting 2013. Wikipedia which notes undisclosed picks doesn't list it. Intial reports suggested 2012. Not really sure. Saw something from a Bengals reporter indicating 2013. Not much else.
Would love to have franchise QB like Luck. After all the QB position is the most important

How are you planning on getting that where we pick?

Thanks m_brock, I actually saw that article but didn't read the whole thing, I thought it was just about how the Bengals wanted to trade for Mays during the draft.
With the demand for premium QB talent, it isn't likely that one of those 4 QBs will still be on the board when we pick.

If one is, I would definitely listen to trade offers as there will be quite the bidding war for a quality QB had "on the cheap", late in the first round. We have lots of one year contracts, some of which we won't be able to extend. So the extra picks would definitely help restock our roster.

Of course, I would leave the estimation of potential to Harbaugh, since he knows much more about QBs than I ever will.

So I hope one of the elite QB talents falls to us because we will have a choice between two really great alternatives.
The QB of the future is Alex Smith, and when he signs a 5 year, $49 million deal in about two months, this whole thing will be resolved once and for all....until Nate Davis leaves the buffet table and makes a public appearance...then all bets are off.

The CK pick is looking more and more like another brilliant stroke of genius in the second round, following the likes of: Taylor Mays, Chilo Rachal and company.

5 years and $49 million? Why so much?
