What an interesting albeit uncomfortable crossroad for the Ravens and their fans. We find ourselves looking at wins as losses – with good reason.
Every short-term win in a season that is going nowhere fast is a long-term loss for the organization. One slot lost in the NFL Draft can prove costly. It can be the difference between the first pick in a draft being Dez Bryant or Sergio Kindle.
It could be the difference in draft day trade leverage.
And that lost draft position has a rippling effect for 7 rounds.
