If the Baltimore Ravens regret not being more aggressive in the 2008 NFL Draft, they certainly would never admit it. And, really, it would be a hard argument to make. They drafted Joe Flacco and he led them to a Super Bowl, during which he was the game MVP and had an altogether excellent postseason run.
But Ian Rapoport wrote yesterday that things could have taken a different turn, as Baltimore was prepared to invest heavily in trading up to select Matt Ryan, who was drafted by the Falcons and who was the league’s MVP for the 2016 season—and, oh, was just in the Super Bowl last night.
