Despite talented cast, Ryan lacks a statement victory.
The New York Giants have a history of success in the first round of the National Football League Draft. As I wrote about earlier, wise first-round draft picks played a large role in Big Blue's Super Bowl XLVI victory. However, early-round success alone doesn't win championships.

And while Baltimore already owns at least a wild-card spot, a victory for the Ravens earns them the AFC North and a first-round bye. Denver is tied atop the AFC North with Oakland at 8-7, with the Broncos hosting Kansas City and the Raiders at home for San Diego next Sunday.
