Years ago, the Ravens Pre-Draft Press Conference and Luncheon was given the nickname, “Liar’s Luncheon”. It was believed, and still is to a certain extent, that this was the team’s way of feeding the media red herrings that would hit the airwaves, print and internet. The goal was to throw other teams off a bit, to hide their lyin’ eyes, and disguise the Ravens true intentions on draft weekend.
Those deceptive tactics have likely waned in recent years. The amount of information available to teams by a rapidly growing number of sources and the access to that information thanks to the internet, has closed the gap the Ravens once enjoyed.
