We could have had Matt Ryan instead of Chris Long who was okay but a disappointment as the 2nd pick in the draft and we needed a QB at the time. We could have avoided the entire Bradford mess if we chose Ryan.
JUL 28 2007--Marc Bulger Signed a 6 year $62.5 million contract with St. Louis (STL)Bulger was one year into a 6 year contract when Long was drafted.
They weren't considering Ryan....it's easy to say now that they should have taken Ryan, but they were committed to Bulger at that point.
