Second Honeymoon
Hall of Fame
ok, so imagine you are a Ravens fan. you are all geeked up for the draft and your at the official draft party. well the draft moves along and as things progress, you realize that Dez Bryant looks to be falling right in your lap. You can hardly hold back your enthusiasm and Dez keeps falling like a rock...right into your lap.
people start to get excited and the buzz sweeps across the convention room floor. people are already imagining having WR go from a big weakness to a strength with the addition of Boldin and Dez Bryant to the fold. Super Bowl dreams become closer to reality and you may have the next great WR in WR-starved Baltimore.
well you are just 2 picks away with New England standing between you and Dez. NE doesn't figure to take Dez due to their needs on defense and the fact that they have quality WRs already. The enthusiasm and anticipation just grows and the Ravens fans are in a frenzy.
well then Jerry Jones punks you and trades past you to grab Dez. PUNKED!! Did the Ravens even try and match the offer Dallas made? Did Belichik give them the cold shoulder or prohibitively price the cost of moving up because the Ravens are in the same conference and the team that embarassed them in Gillette Stadium? JJ just punked you, Ravens Fan.
so you get punked and lose out on Dez. you scramble for your pick sheet, take a few antacids, ask the waitress for another $8 beer, and you get ahold of yourself. just when you are about to pick and maybe get a quality player like Dan Williams, the word comes that you have traded out of the 1st Round altogether. There will be no 1st Round selection by the Ravens. You then realize that you will not be adding any player in the 1st Round and that the night was a complete waste of time, money, and energy. You settle your tab (always optional), boo at the screen, flip the bird one last time at Mel Kiper, and drive home in a drunken and bitter haze.
sucks to be you, Ravens fan.
