Speaker 1: Welcome into the Ravens Press Pass Podcast. The first round
Speaker 1: of the NFL drafts is complete and with their first
Speaker 1: round pick, the Ravens selected cornerback Nate Wiggins out of Clemson.
Speaker 1: The Ravens took Wiggins at pick number thirty and they
Speaker 1: were fired up about this edition. Wiggins gives them a talented,
Speaker 1: up and coming cornerback who Eric Tacosta said was the
Speaker 1: best cover cornerback in this draft class. After the first
Speaker 1: round was complete, we heard from GM Eric Tacosta and
Speaker 1: head coach John Harbaugh.
Speaker 2: Well, guys, thanks for coming in. We're very, very excited
Speaker 2: to draft Nate Wiggins, one of the in my opinion,
Speaker 2: the best cover corner in the draft. Highly athletic, fantastic
Speaker 2: feat really, in our opinion, a guy that can grow
Speaker 2: into being a true shutdown type corner. Ecstatic that he
Speaker 2: fell to us, And we'll take questions, got.
Speaker 3: Erdy, you actually had a lot of that corner.
Speaker 4: Was there a compensation or was it we cut under
Speaker 4: reward that we didn't do there?
Speaker 2: Well, we had a couple guys that we really liked.
Speaker 2: We were hopeful, so hopeful we figured that like this draft, honestly,
Speaker 2: we had to come out of the first round with
Speaker 2: most likely a corner or an offensive lineman if we could,
Speaker 2: and uh, you know you always hold your breath for sure.
Speaker 2: Uh Honestly, I didn't think that Nate would be there
Speaker 2: for us. You know, as the draft started to unfold
Speaker 2: and we started to see all those offensive linemen come
Speaker 2: off the board, we thought there might be a chance.
Speaker 2: And then you start to see the run on corners
Speaker 2: in the twenties, you know, I think Philly might have
Speaker 2: taken Mitchell and then Arnold went, and then we started
Speaker 2: to get antsy. You know, the phone was ringing. We
Speaker 2: had a lot of different potential trade possibilities, but for us,
Speaker 2: it was always if Nate was there, we were gonna pick.
Speaker 2: And you know, if Nate wasn't there, you know, there
Speaker 2: was an other guy we liked, but we also were
Speaker 2: going to look at possibly trading out.
Speaker 5: The offensive players went I think thirteen.
Speaker 3: Or run not really.
Speaker 2: We kind of looked at it and it was an
Speaker 2: offensive draft. I mean, there's more offensive players in this draft.
Speaker 2: It's just stacked on the offensive side this year at
Speaker 2: some positions. I mean, we knew the quarterbacks we're gonna
Speaker 2: be picked high, and we had a strong inclination that
Speaker 2: offensive line we're gonna go to. So if you take
Speaker 2: the seven offensive linemen in the six quarterbacks, there's thirteen
Speaker 2: players right there. So you know, we weren't surprised.
Speaker 3: I don't think Johan.
Speaker 6: Wishing idea about playing maybe feel like he's a day one,
Speaker 6: plug and play type of guy.
Speaker 3: Do you see him inside or outside? How do you
Speaker 3: envision use it?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 8: I mean I think you see him as an outside corner.
Speaker 8: That's kind of where he's made his say, but he
Speaker 8: plays inside as well, and he did it in college.
Speaker 8: I think we'll just continue to be versatile. Do those
Speaker 8: dbs moving around and playing different spots. It gives us
Speaker 8: another quality starting corner. I'd say we've got three, you know,
Speaker 8: legitimate starting corners. He's got to come and improve it
Speaker 8: and do it and all that, but we expect him
Speaker 8: to do it. We were excited, we were we were looking,
Speaker 8: we were looking for Nate. You know, that was something
Speaker 8: that we kind of We were in the defensive room
Speaker 8: actually in Chris Hewitt's office, meaning about five of the
Speaker 8: defensive coaches before the draft started about about seven forty five,
Speaker 8: and it came up, you know what if Wiggins falls
Speaker 8: to us. Wo, wouldn't that be something? You know, We're like, nah,
Speaker 8: that'll never happen. That couldn't happen, But how good would
Speaker 8: that look in our defense? And it worked out and
Speaker 8: came true. So we're excited.
Speaker 3: Did you bring him in here? Was he in a
Speaker 3: pre draft process?
Speaker 4: He was? He was.
Speaker 3: He's I mean he's he's very slender.
Speaker 9: I mean, how does he project and sort of the
Speaker 9: run defense or things.
Speaker 7: For what he does?
Speaker 8: Yeah, we watch the tape. He comes up and smacks people.
Speaker 8: That's what he does. He's not afraid of the physical
Speaker 8: part of it at all. You know, he's he's pretty.
Speaker 8: He's a complete corner.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 8: First of all, he's ranging, he can run, he's got
Speaker 8: very good fee. He changed his direction. He puts his
Speaker 8: hands on people in press and he runs up and
Speaker 8: tackles people with some physicality. So, uh, the weight doesn't
Speaker 8: doesn't imped him at all. And he's gonna put on
Speaker 8: a way. I think he's over one hundred and eighty now,
Speaker 8: so he's a young guy. He's he's twenty years old
Speaker 8: right there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he'll you know, he'll he'll he'll gain weight.
Speaker 2: I mean, if we get up there, with some of
Speaker 2: the scouts. You know, he'll pack it up pretty quick. George,
Speaker 2: getting with Manny, getting with Manny in the kitchen. You know,
Speaker 2: we we we got a we got a plan for him.
Speaker 3: You mentioned, uh, obviously his cover instincts.
Speaker 7: And John's you're saying he's a big corner.
Speaker 10: How much did the big plays kind of factor into
Speaker 10: your desire to draft Nate? I mean obviously, well right
Speaker 10: at the goal.
Speaker 3: Line where he's going down. I mean, do you feel
Speaker 3: like there's something about.
Speaker 10: The big plays that Nate had in college that defines
Speaker 10: him as a player.
Speaker 2: Well, when I think of Nate, I just think that
Speaker 2: he's he's a ridiculous athlete, very very quick footed, efficient,
Speaker 2: He's fast, he's tough, he's competitive. You know, in our vision,
Speaker 2: we play a lot of really good receivers and you've
Speaker 2: got to get off the field and their downs and uh,
Speaker 2: we were blessed last year to have a lot of
Speaker 2: depth in the secondary and it and it really helped
Speaker 2: us quite a bit. And this is a guy that
Speaker 2: can come in here and play meaningful football right away
Speaker 2: for us. We're excited about that.
Speaker 4: John, you touched on the versatility a little bit, but
Speaker 4: being able to add Wagan's playing on the outside. How
Speaker 4: big is that in terms maybe move Marlin around. Just
Speaker 4: being as versatile as you guys were last year with
Speaker 4: some of the depth you.
Speaker 7: That no question.
Speaker 8: I mean, Marlin's gonna be able to slide in there
Speaker 8: and play inside. Brandon can slide in and play inside.
Speaker 8: You got Kyle coming down, you got Kyle going and
Speaker 8: playing the diningbacker. Possibly, Uh, we we can do. We're
Speaker 8: just gonna have a lot of options. I mean, Zach's
Speaker 8: gonna be He's gonna be working on that versatility pretty
Speaker 8: probably tonight.
Speaker 3: Arthur had a heck of a season last year. Yeah.
Speaker 10: I know, you guys trusting your process and you don't
Speaker 10: really do the whole comparison thing. But I know you
Speaker 10: guys were high on Manuel Fores last year, and this
Speaker 10: is another kind of skinny fast guy does his struggles
Speaker 10: to kind of look at your factory in any way
Speaker 10: to how do you think about what I might work
Speaker 10: over from College city NFL level.
Speaker 2: I think, you know, it's a good question, Jonas. I
Speaker 2: think we just we look at everybody differently. You know,
Speaker 2: we just kind of study the player for who he
Speaker 2: is and what he does and what he puts on tape.
Speaker 2: Look at his skill set. We talk to people, which
Speaker 2: is a very important part of the process. We follow
Speaker 2: the guy around and I think at that position, it's
Speaker 2: a very hard position to play. You know, a lot
Speaker 2: of guys can't do it. The biggest thing is, and
Speaker 2: John always says that you've got to actually cover people.
Speaker 2: You've got to guard people. It's a hard thing. And
Speaker 2: they just proven that he can do that very very well.
Speaker 2: He's a young player.
Speaker 5: We love that about him.
Speaker 3: He's twenty years old, one.
Speaker 2: Of the fastest players at the combine, silky smooth, and
Speaker 2: he will compete. He does tackle very well. People at
Speaker 2: the school are high on him. We were getting texts
Speaker 2: from the head coach. Dabbo was texting us during the
Speaker 2: first round, please take this guy. So we're just very
Speaker 2: excited about him.
Speaker 7: He was kind of.
Speaker 3: Again, more about team than But do you remember your
Speaker 3: reaction with a man that.
Speaker 2: Fort I mean it was, yeah, I was, I was excited.
Speaker 2: I mean I wasn't as fast as Worthy. My reaction
Speaker 2: went Worthy Ram, but you know, you know, I mean
Speaker 2: he've read at four two eight, I think so yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean it's a great workout. He didn't do much
Speaker 2: after that. But to see that speed, you know, uh,
Speaker 2: super impressive. We had him in here, we met with him,
Speaker 2: we met with him at the combine, spent a lot
Speaker 2: of time with him, and uh, we're very excited to
Speaker 2: get him.
Speaker 3: You mentioned that the pre.
Speaker 8: Draft uh news conference and depth, especially in the offensive
Speaker 8: line and wide receiver.
Speaker 3: Did did you see him or did you feel.
Speaker 10: A bigger sense of urgency to identify quarterback and attack
Speaker 10: up position early.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's an excellent question, and that's something that
Speaker 2: you know, honestly kept me up at night, just because
Speaker 2: there are a lot offensive linemen in this draft. There
Speaker 2: are you know, a pretty good pool of receivers. But
Speaker 2: as I would go through and work on all these
Speaker 2: different you know, simulations, it became apparent that if we
Speaker 2: didn't get a corner in the first round, it was
Speaker 2: going to be challenging to get a really good corner
Speaker 2: in the second round, third round, four round who could
Speaker 2: help us right away. So, you know, not to say
Speaker 2: we wouldn't have taken a receiver. We would have. We
Speaker 2: would have taken an offensive lineman. But I think for us,
Speaker 2: if you're talking about all the different combinations, how we
Speaker 2: can be the best team we can be. I think
Speaker 2: just getting a corner at this point, like Nate, is
Speaker 2: probably the best way we could have start this weekend
Speaker 2: in there.
Speaker 9: Do you think there would have been a lot of
Speaker 9: options to trade down, or at least some options to
Speaker 9: trade down.
Speaker 3: We had a lot of options.
Speaker 2: I had the phone rang a lot this year, and
Speaker 2: more so than it has in the last couple of years,
Speaker 2: and we honestly, I can honestly say that.
Speaker 3: We've probably had.
Speaker 2: Eight different potential trades that we could have investigated.
Speaker 3: Back and forward or just that well we didn't.
Speaker 2: We know, we're not really a forward team, you know.
Speaker 2: So all one team did call us about coming up,
Speaker 2: we just were kind of like, oh, thank you, but
Speaker 2: that's not really something that we do, you know, Like,
Speaker 2: so yeah, it was trading back.
Speaker 10: You guys have done a really good job at taking
Speaker 10: some of these young players twenty one.
Speaker 3: Twenty in the drafts.
Speaker 10: I guess how him does that kind of you factor
Speaker 10: into your evaluation of them? And why do you think
Speaker 10: you guys have done so well getting you know, as
Speaker 10: Queen Mark, guys who are not quite basically mature but
Speaker 10: having development really good players.
Speaker 3: That's a great question.
Speaker 7: I think Eric said it earlier.
Speaker 8: It's kind of probably more about the individual player, but
Speaker 8: you get the right kind of guy. He's coming out
Speaker 8: for a reason. He's a first round pick for a reason.
Speaker 8: He's very talented, he's ready, thinks he's ready. I know
Speaker 8: his head coach felt like he was ready coming out.
Speaker 8: And you know, he's a young guy. But that's opportunity.
Speaker 8: I think the way we look at it, and he's determined.
Speaker 8: I mean, he's a motivated guy. He's talking about he's
Speaker 8: talking about that he has a lot to prove. He
Speaker 8: got we got both got on the phone with him,
Speaker 8: talk to him, and he's talking about what he what
Speaker 8: he has to prove. So you know, our response was,
Speaker 8: all right, let's coming here next weekend, let's get to work.
Speaker 8: Let's get started on it.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 8: And I think, uh, he's he's planning on being a
Speaker 8: hard worker, and uh, if he does that, you know
Speaker 8: we've got we've got a path for him. You know,
Speaker 8: we kind of got a plan for him and we'll
Speaker 8: have him ready to go.
Speaker 9: Eric, as you look at that to day too, do
Speaker 9: you still see a lot of offensive Lemon who couldn't build.
Speaker 7: Me right away?
Speaker 3: I did?
Speaker 10: Yeah, York and you're seeing that you're not much of
Speaker 10: a move forward.
Speaker 3: Type team, but you know, a couple.
Speaker 11: Of trades eating that in those pen picts right in
Speaker 11: front of you as you as you're sort of holding
Speaker 11: a button on maybe some other guys you like, was
Speaker 11: there any temptation to kind of move up as there
Speaker 11: was as you're saying, a lot of people stilling during
Speaker 11: I'm sure throughout the league, was there a temptation to
Speaker 11: do something dramatic as you were just waiting and seeing how.
Speaker 7: It would chick out?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just not really a trade up type of
Speaker 2: guy generally. I mean, it hasn't. I mean, we we
Speaker 2: we have. I mean we traded up, traded up to
Speaker 2: get Lamar, we traded up to get Joe. But in
Speaker 2: most cases, I just feel that your chance is to
Speaker 2: really maximize your draft or to stay where you are
Speaker 2: and or or or go back and so you know
Speaker 2: a lot of research.
Speaker 7: You traded back.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well we traded back and then we traded up.
Speaker 7: Was that how it went up?
Speaker 3: Then back back, then.
Speaker 2: Up, back then up, which, which, for the record, who's
Speaker 2: on first? I was not necessarily in favor of that
Speaker 2: trade back up. However, I was out voted.
Speaker 3: That's right, I do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was getting you not voted by voting by two.
Speaker 2: Well two people were staring at me. But it's fine.
Speaker 7: It's good. You know it's good. It's good.
Speaker 2: It worked out. So I mean, I'm not saying it
Speaker 2: can't work out. You can trade up to get guys.
Speaker 8: It was only seventeen years ago.
Speaker 2: You could be very successful doing it. But in general,
Speaker 2: I think it's just a risky business.
Speaker 12: What was altimately the.
Speaker 3: Reason plays in the city.
Speaker 7: A good player and.
Speaker 2: Process well name Derek Yam credit. Derek works for me
Speaker 2: upstairs and analytics. He does a great job with modeling
Speaker 2: and different things, and he was convinced that we would
Speaker 2: get a player in our range of between thirteen to twenty.
Speaker 2: In our sequence, we're picking thirty.
Speaker 3: I didn't think it was going to happen this year,
Speaker 3: but he was right.
Speaker 2: And so when you get a player that you have
Speaker 2: highly rated, who you love, who fills the position in need,
Speaker 2: then you got to take them.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 1: Also had a chance to hear from Nate himself. He
Speaker 1: was celebrating the news with his friends and family, and
Speaker 1: we had a chance to hear from him on a
Speaker 1: zoom call with the local media.
Speaker 13: Hey, Nick, congratulations. Did you with your interactions with the
Speaker 13: Ravens and when they came up with number you know, thirty,
Speaker 13: what was kind of your feelings? Do you think there
Speaker 13: was a really good chance that you were gonna go
Speaker 13: to the Ravens?
Speaker 14: Yes, sir, they always told me like if I was there,
Speaker 14: if I was available, they won't take me.

Speaker 6: Baltimore Ravens media coach. Harball was just talking about on
Speaker 6: tape how he would come up and smack people on
Speaker 6: film and people talk about you know, your your size,
Speaker 6: being a slender guy. Just talk about your confidence about
Speaker 6: how you'll be able to you know handle tackling guys
Speaker 6: and playing defense at this level.
Speaker 7: I just feel like it's just was the weight thing.
Speaker 14: So when I get my nutrition, I don't feel like
Speaker 14: it's gonna be a big problem.
Speaker 7: So I feel like it's gonna uh, it's just take time.
Speaker 14: I mean I'm twenty years old, so I ain't really
Speaker 14: already stretched out yet, so I know when I when
Speaker 14: I get somebody gonna be scared.
Speaker 5: So we'll go Child's Walker and then Gianahan, congratulations.
Speaker 9: You know er Eric Taicassa told us that he felt
Speaker 9: like you're the best cover corner in the draft. What
Speaker 9: is it about your your mindset and your physical tools
Speaker 9: do you think that that makes you so comfortable on
Speaker 9: the outside like that?
Speaker 14: Just my speed and my instinct uh, and my my
Speaker 14: physicality has just been on that island.
Speaker 7: It's uh. I mean.
Speaker 14: This man, man, no man, I feel like I'm the
Speaker 14: best man on man corner on the best corner in
Speaker 14: the dress.
Speaker 7: So I mean, yeah, it taste speed boys.
Speaker 5: Gianna, congrats.
Speaker 15: Just curious, what do you know about the Ravens defense
Speaker 15: or style play and how do you feel like your
Speaker 15: own brand of play fits in with the Ravens.
Speaker 14: I just know they have bog and they get a
Speaker 14: lot of turnovers, and I know that. And in the
Speaker 14: past season there was the top top defense. So I
Speaker 14: know my place, my place, my competitis in my fiure right.
Speaker 7: Right along with the great defense.
Speaker 5: Brian Whacker.
Speaker 16: Any congratulations, Just curious. Two things sounded like Dabbo was
Speaker 16: texting with the Ravens all night about telling them to
Speaker 16: pick you where you were that or what do you
Speaker 16: think of that? And secondly, what was what do you
Speaker 16: remember about your visit here on your Top thirty visit
Speaker 16: and when what kind of stood out to you.
Speaker 14: I really didn't know about the devil takes and pas
Speaker 14: the Ravens situation, so I don't know about that. But
Speaker 14: the vision, the vision went well, it was a good visit.
Speaker 14: I feel like I was home. I mean they invited
Speaker 14: me in so well, so flight was home. So I
Speaker 14: know when I go back up there, it's gonna feel
Speaker 14: like it's gonna feel like home again.
Speaker 5: Grita Parks And then Ryan mink.
Speaker 15: Hey, Nate, congratulations. You talked about the emotions of this
Speaker 15: night and this is really not only a life changing
Speaker 15: night for you but also your entire family. Can you
Speaker 15: just reflect on what this means to you from that standpoint, Uh, I.
Speaker 14: Know, just come coming wrong, come from a lot of
Speaker 14: folks don't make it. So, I mean there's a lot
Speaker 14: of motion going on in building right now. I'm just
Speaker 14: glad to be here, so that's all.
Speaker 17: Ryan Nate, congratulations. Wonder if you when when were you
Speaker 17: the fastest guy on the field and do you have
Speaker 17: any good stories about your speed?
Speaker 7: I always been the fastest guy on the field.
Speaker 14: I mean I don't really always been fast, so I
Speaker 14: really I don't really have a question about speed.
Speaker 5: But uh yeah, we'll go Kyle Goon and then jeff'suriback.
Speaker 12: Hey Nate, congratulations. Just wondering what was your reaction when
Speaker 12: you see, you know, thirteen offensive players come off the
Speaker 12: the board initially and then you know, what, what is
Speaker 12: it like kind of realizing that you might be going
Speaker 12: towards the end of first round to a really a
Speaker 12: team that's already been competitive and good.
Speaker 14: I mean, it was, like I said, it was emotional.
Speaker 14: It was just thinking I'm going earlier. But I mean,
Speaker 14: the best player that got had playing for me. So
Speaker 14: we're here now, so I can't I can't wait to
Speaker 14: make the best of it.
Speaker 5: Jeff and then Kevin richardson two part question date, how
Speaker 5: much do you think the.
Speaker 18: Ravens defensive attitude kind of fits your playing style? And
Speaker 18: have you gotten a chance to talk to Treton Simpson
Speaker 18: and and do you think he's a guy that can
Speaker 18: kind of help you along here as you make the
Speaker 18: transition in the NFL.
Speaker 14: I feel like I feel in perfect with the Ravens
Speaker 14: defense is just like like I said before, the competitiveness
Speaker 14: and just their mindset.
Speaker 7: They want to go get the ball and they want
Speaker 7: to win.
Speaker 14: So that's all That's what I started on doing I
Speaker 14: for That's what I feel like I'm the best hit
Speaker 14: for for his team.
Speaker 7: Uh Trich simply we talked. We just talked like out
Speaker 7: of that when I was on a visit.
Speaker 14: He was like, I mean, yeah, I feel like he's
Speaker 14: gonna be a he's gonna be a bit a big
Speaker 14: role in my part when I get that, because I
Speaker 14: mean he'll work with you know, you know how to
Speaker 14: carry yourself, so he'll be a big rolling in my part.
Speaker 5: Ken back to Ryan mink Sure, Nick, welcome to Baltimore
Speaker 5: and being a young guy in college, what led.
Speaker 16: You to start a foundation for underprivileged people in the community.
Speaker 14: I was just like, uh, just where I'm coming from
Speaker 14: for real. When I came from, I ain't really have
Speaker 14: a lot growing up, So I know, like, uh, when
Speaker 14: I'm going back to there giving back, Now, I really
Speaker 14: got all of it. I really got a lot of
Speaker 14: a lot of stuff. So I like to give back
Speaker 14: and I just like to help people for real.
Speaker 17: And Nate just wondering, you know, there weren't as many
Speaker 17: underclassmen in this year's draft class you decided to come
Speaker 17: out early. What played into that decision? Was it just
Speaker 17: your confidence? And where do you feel like, Hey, I'm
Speaker 17: a young guy and I still want to grow my game.
Speaker 18: Uh?
Speaker 14: Yeah, I feel like my decision came off my confident
Speaker 14: but also like my talent.
Speaker 7: I know what I can do, I know what I'm
Speaker 7: capable of, and I.
Speaker 14: Know like I ain't reached I ain't even uh got
Speaker 14: quite at least of my life highest potentially yet.
Speaker 7: So it's just I'm just getting better than Bettle.
Speaker 5: As you'll go on, We'll go Jonas Schaeffer and then
Speaker 5: wrap it up with Cliff Brown.
Speaker 10: Any congratulations, man, Is there a game that you feel
Speaker 10: like from last year or maybe the year before best
Speaker 10: exemplifies the kind of shutdown corner.
Speaker 7: That you are. You said, what the game a game?
Speaker 16: Yeah, A sickle game.
Speaker 14: Uh, Florida State, not the Dame North Carolina. That's a
Speaker 14: couple of games I can name. I mean a lot
Speaker 14: of games. I was just been a setting out of corner,
Speaker 14: following the best receiver the whole game. So I feel
Speaker 14: like most of the game I played this year, so
Speaker 14: that was a lot down corner.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Nate.
Speaker 6: How do you feel about, you know, being moved around
Speaker 6: in secondary if that's how the Ravens want to use you,
Speaker 6: and also playing, you know, covering already against a lot
Speaker 6: of the time receivers of the SEC. How you feel
Speaker 6: or actually be acc how you it, I'll help you
Speaker 6: at the next level.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 14: The first question about the moving parts, I feel like, uh,
Speaker 14: that won't be a big deal with me because I
Speaker 14: feel like I could do whatever on the defense side,
Speaker 14: like COVID, I can play ANIGGRO.
Speaker 7: I can play safety. So I mean it's not really
Speaker 7: a big big part.
Speaker 14: I don't feel like they'll have a big jump on
Speaker 14: my success, uh or nothing like that.
Speaker 7: What was the other question?
Speaker 6: Playing against some of the top receivers. You've said phase
Speaker 6: in the ACC and also you know when you're playing
Speaker 6: outside a CEC, how much that will help you. You know,
Speaker 6: do you think of the adjustment to the next level
Speaker 6: that will help you what you've already done in college?
