1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: It makes sense on so many different levels. It checks

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: so many different boxes that I'm just not gonna knock

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: the guy because he doesn't look like Julio Jones. Wow,

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: breaking news here, folks here now, and it's about to

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: be public enemy number one. You draft like a four

6
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: year old, like, welcome into the lounge. I'm back HERETT.

7
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: That's a little vacant. It's about time. How long was

8
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: this vacation? Three weeks? I was surprised when you came

9
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:43,639
Speaker 1: into work the other day that you even knew how

10
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: to get here. I thought they maybe took away your

11
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: key card accident. Do you kind of forget the little

12
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: things you know, like little passwords and you know people's

13
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: phone numbers that you haven't read even a week off?

14
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: My brain just goes and the shutdown. Well I was.

15
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: I was amazed that when you got back, you literally

16
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: did not know how to log into your computer. You

17
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: had no idea how to log ins because I didn't

18
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: do the security. You got here locked out. You got

19
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: in here on Monday or Tuesday or whatever day you

20
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: got back, and then you try to log into your

21
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: computer and you are incapable of doing it. Head call

22
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: I t to teach you how to sign into your

23
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: because I guess that's what happens when you take a

24
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: month off about heading back, gonna be back, gonna be back.

25
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: And with that, uh, we're gonna we're gonna get to

26
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: some important stuff today. Top of the list being our

27
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: serial draft. Yes, we've long talked about this, We've teased

28
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: it a couple of times, and today's the day that

29
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: we're going to do the serial draft because you know what,

30
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft is coming up. But the more important

31
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: than that is ranking our favorite serials. Yeah, well we've

32
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: we've had you know, our drafts are part of the

33
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: favorite part of our favorite thing of doing this podcast.

34
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: I think we get the main reason why. Basically the

35
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: podcast is a vehicle to do more of these drafts,

36
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: and we get it's so funny. You know, we'll get

37
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: emails from from listeners with questions or discussions or those

38
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: types of things. But there's nothing touches a nerve quite

39
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: like one of these random drafts, cookie draft, the Halloween

40
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 1: candy Draft. There's always pizza draft. Pizza draft that always

41
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: ends up being the thing that we get talked about

42
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 1: more than anything else. With that said, why don't we

43
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: get into some listener questions. How do how do fans

44
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 1: email us? They can get us at I forgot to

45
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: exactly to the test here the lounge at Ravens dot

46
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: NFL dot net. Yeah, we're doing We're honestly doing a

47
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: lot of draft talk today. Um, if you guys, I'm

48
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: sure I saw the pre draft press conference was earlier

49
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: this week with Eric Costaz. You knew some John Harball

50
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: ortiz Um, so some really good stuff came out of that.

51
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: So the draft and were we already honestly doing the

52
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: serial draft? So yeah, there's both there, um, but some

53
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: good questions this week's We really want to give you

54
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: guys a voice. So this first question today, this one

55
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: comes from Zach and Sacramento and he says, making Garrett

56
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: is adjust me here do just to see him? Like

57
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: everyone has hopped off the Alex Collins hype trained now

58
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: that the draft is around the corner. He rushed for

59
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: eight yards in less than a full season last year.

60
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: He showed decent hands out of the backfield. Do you

61
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: think the Ravens can justify drafting and running back with

62
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: the with the pick in the first three rounds? Oh? Yeah?

63
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: Should Collins be given the opportunity to be the full

64
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: time starter. Yes, he should be given that opportunity, but yes,

65
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: I think you can definitely justify taking the running back

66
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: in the first three rounds as well. I'm I like

67
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: Alex Collins. I do think that he could be the

68
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: Ravens starter next year, and I think he could be good.

69
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: I think he can put up, you know, a thousand

70
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: yards next year. I like what I've seen, But I'm

71
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: also not yet to the point where I'm pushing all

72
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: the chips into the center of the table. Is saying,

73
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: I would. I think Alex Collins is gonna be the

74
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: Ravens workhorse back for the next three years, you know,

75
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: like like I would for Ronnie Stanley. Right, I'm not

76
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: ready to draft and left tackle. But you're rejected left tackle?

77
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: Maybe right in round one. I'm not I don't need

78
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: Marlin Humphrey's replacement, right, because Marlon is going to be

79
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: the starter for next three years, Alex, I'm not. I'm

80
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: not quite ready to push all the chips into the

81
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: center of the table that way, I guess I'm not

82
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: ready to push all the chips in the center of

83
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: the table. I also think that it doesn't hurt to

84
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: have multiple good running backs. But with that said, I

85
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: don't think that running back is a big priority. I

86
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: think that as you go through, would it shocked me

87
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: if they draft one on the first two days of

88
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: the draft. It would not shock me. It would not

89
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: shock me. But I don't think that I would be

90
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: disappointed if they don't. I have said many times, and

91
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: I think that I lean more on the Alex Collin

92
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: strain than you do. I think that I've expected to

93
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: be a thousand yard of Russia last year this year.

94
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: I really liked what I saw from him last year.

95
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: I think that he's fully capable of being a top

96
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: ten rusher in the NFL. He is. I think he's

97
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: a playmaker. He was the Ravens best offensive playmaker last year,

98
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: and I feel good with that. Was though, because they

99
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: didn't have any other playmakers. Sure, but I mean, yeah,

100
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: I know what I mean. Like, I think I kind

101
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: of think it was the old scenario where like, if

102
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: all you're injured wide receivers are injured, right, somebody's got

103
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 1: to catch the ball. And I kind of think there's

104
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: a little bit of that effect. But but why did

105
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: the other guys, the other running backs not have as

106
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,799
Speaker 1: much success to anyway, I know he's a different player.

107
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: Buck Allen didn't have anywhere near that success. Terrence West

108
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: didn't have anywhere Buck Allen had his best year. He

109
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: did have his best year, but he wasn't as good

110
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: as Alex Collins. Terence West came into the year as

111
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: a starter and then I know he got hurt, but

112
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: he didn't have a good season. I mean, Alence Collins

113
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: outplay the other running backs. I would agree with that,

114
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: but I'm not. I don't think that. I'm also not

115
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: going to say that Buck Allen and the other backup

116
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: running in Terence West or or studs all pros either.

117
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: So that's why I say, like, I wouldn't be opposed

118
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 1: adding a stud, right kind of. I mean, look at

119
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: the Saints lash last year. They had mark Ingram, pretty

120
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: darn good player, not like a great player, but a

121
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: really good player. They go out and they draft what's

122
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,679
Speaker 1: the guys all right, Kamara and he's a freaking monster,

123
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: and then both of those guys end up going to

124
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: Both of those guys end up going to the Pro Bowl.

125
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: So then you have two Pro Bowl running backs, which

126
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: is a good position to be. And also the ratings

127
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: Kate Kenneth Dixon back this year? Who you think is

128
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: I'm like the coming of Adrian Peterson. Um. I like

129
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: candidates and too, I'll be curious to see if he

130
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: can stay health the at what he can do after

131
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: multiple injuries. But I think that he has a lot

132
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: of potential. And at the owners meetings last week, John

133
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: Harwood did say that his expectation is at Alex Collins

134
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 1: will be the starter. Yeah. I think we're on the

135
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: same page. I I shade a little bit more towards

136
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: the drafting running back higher than I think you do,

137
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: but generally I think we're about on the same page.

138
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: All right, here's another question, the big another big talking

139
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 1: point this week. Have you heard that the Ravens added

140
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: a quarterback? No you know what say? Yeah? Yeah, Robert Griffin? Yeah,

141
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: his dad, his grandfather first, the original Yeah, the original. Um,

142
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: now Robert Griffin the third. The Ravens added him this week. Um,

143
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: and so ASI knew some mouse. It kind of caught

144
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: us all off guard during the pre draft press conference.

145
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: Is a new thing? Yeah, yeah, just announced some big

146
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: move and started new some stepping out exactly by the

147
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: way we signed RG three. But that's when we all

148
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: get our phones listen still listening on Twitter. Well, it

149
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: was it was funny during the presser because they announced

150
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: that and then everybody kind of had that reaction, and

151
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: and then they had fans pslhunder holders at the press conference,

152
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: and so did They announced that the media is stunned

153
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: for a good ninety seconds and they had to kick

154
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: it off to the fans. All right, you guys got

155
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: any questions because the media is just silent right now.

156
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: So all right, with that said, here's an audio question

157
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: from our friend Jason Corey. So just came out today

158
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: that r G three is coming to be more. I

159
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: don't know quite how I feel about that. I think

160
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: if he returns to form, you know, sure, why not,

161
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: that'd be great. But do you think obviously the Ravens,

162
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: Ozzie and John and all of them are hoping he

163
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,239
Speaker 1: returns to his early form, But do you think, uh,

164
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: they're kind of hoping the succession plan is in place

165
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: now that you think r G three is young enough

166
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: if he does return to form, they got, you know,

167
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: a solid backup option if they ever move on from Joe.

168
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: All right, so thanks for the question, Jason. U what

169
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: do you think make is the signing, the addition of

170
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: r G three an indication that the success and planet

171
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: quarterback is in place. No, No, I don't think so.

172
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: I don't think that r G three right now is

173
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: penciled in as Joe Flacco's replacement. Um, I don't. I don't.

174
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: For the record, I don't necessarily think that RG three

175
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: is penciled in. Is Joe Flaccos backup? No, I would agree. Yeah,

176
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: I think if the Ravens draft a quarterback uh in

177
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: the first two days, that guy has a very realistic

178
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: shot of being Joe Flacco's backup and r G three

179
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: it would be a competition. Now, here's the thing, and

180
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: we were talking about this yesterday about whether the Ravens

181
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: would carry three quarterbacks right which is something they've never

182
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: done since Joe Flacco has been here. If the Ravens

183
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: draft a quarterback on the first two days, I would

184
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: expect that guy is probably gonna be the backup. But

185
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 1: what if he comes in and he's terrible in the

186
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: practice and preseason he just ain't ready to be the backup.

187
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: You're not gonna cut that guy. You're not gonna put

188
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,599
Speaker 1: him on practice squad. You have to keep him you

189
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: draft in the first two days. Yeah, I don't think

190
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: there's gonna be three quarterbacks on the tross. Ye, I

191
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: know this is the one if it's hypothetical, like that

192
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: guy struggles and he clearly isn't ready right now, right,

193
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: and then he's Lamar Jackson. Let's say it's Lamar Jackson, right,

194
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: and he's like, you know, he's engaging or whatever, but

195
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: he's just he's just not ready to be the backup

196
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 1: right now. But in this scenario, as we're playing out

197
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: hypothetical here, let's taken another line down the road here,

198
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: but you're kind of assuming is that RG three is

199
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: healthy and that he looks good and he's ready to

200
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: be the backup. Yeah. The point what I'm saying right exactly,

201
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: like I think that there is a possibility that they

202
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: could draft keep three quarterbacks if things fell that way.

203
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: Here's my thing about anyway, that's the question originally about

204
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: RG three is you know, I don't think right now

205
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: that the Ravens view this as he's our future starting quarterback.

206
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: Now we've all seen how good RG three can be.

207
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: He can be really really good. Would I say there's

208
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: a zero sent chance of him being a starter here

209
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: one day. No, you know, maybe he comes in here

210
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: and he's healthy. He's had a year off, He's had

211
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: time to get healthy for sure. I mean the knee

212
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: hasn't been a problem in a while. The injury with

213
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 1: the Browns was a shoulder yet suplexed got buried um,

214
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: and so the knee that we all kind of you

215
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: look at the all the memes out there and it's

216
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: you know, with knee looking all off stuff and really

217
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: not a blowing him up and all that stuff. Like

218
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: he's beyond that. So if he can show these healthy

219
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: you know, he can play, if he has that athleticism

220
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 1: that he once featured in in Washington, like dang, all right, man,

221
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: he's got potential. You look, you actual those highlights. You're like, yeah,

222
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: I mean here, so you know, can he get back

223
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 1: to that four? I think there's a chance that he can.

224
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: And if and if he does, then who knows. Maybe

225
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: it's some crazy cinder all the stories that it happens

226
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: Alex Collins, look at Alex Collins, who saw that coming.

227
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: Here's why I like the signing because it is a

228
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: low risk, high reward and the Ravens are not pouring

229
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: a huge amount of money, right, I mean it's reportedly

230
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 1: a one year, one million dollar deal. Last year Ryan

231
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: Mount made two and a half million. Yeah, exactly, over

232
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: the course of fifty years combined. Um. But but no,

233
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: in all serious this, um, it's it's a low risk deal.

234
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: So if you if he comes in here and he's

235
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: not healthy, or if he struggles and then you part

236
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: ways with him, no lost exactly, nothing's lost exactly. But

237
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: on the flip side, he comes in here and he

238
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: looks really good, and he reminds you and he shows

239
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: those flashes of what he was in Washington in then

240
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you say, all right, this guy

241
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: could end up being a backup and potentially started if

242
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: Joe were to get hurt. I mean, there is a

243
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 1: this is a really good situation I think for the

244
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: Ravens to be in. Um. I know people are some

245
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: some people are critical to move because it's like, oh, well,

246
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: you know he has he he's always injured. He hasn't

247
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: been good in three or four years. He was out

248
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: of football last year. Okay, all that's true. That's why

249
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: he's getting a one million dollar contract. That's why he's

250
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 1: going for one million basically the veteran minimum. And you

251
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: have just you see when you eat at him, you

252
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: see what you can get. I like it. I like

253
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: it a lot better than let's say, Matt shob he's

254
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: backing up. You know, we brought in him a few

255
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: years ago, and you knew what his ceiling was or whatever.

256
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: Like r G three. Maybe he has a lower floor,

257
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: but the ceiling is a lot higher. Yeah, and Matt

258
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: shab is making four and a half million dollars this

259
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: year for the Atlanta Hokus. I'm not actually sure that

260
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: r G three's floor is much lower than Yeah, right,

261
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: I mean the question is I mean the health. He

262
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: hasn't been healthy, and Kenny stay health He's when he's

263
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: been on the field, he's been fine. Yeah, he's been

264
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 1: got awful. Yeah, I like to move and so anyway,

265
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: but also really real quick, both of us agree, and

266
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 1: Ozzie Knew some said this during the press conference. The

267
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: addition of r G three. I don't think he's going

268
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: to have any bearing on what the draft. Yeah, we're

269
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 1: gonna get into that. Yeah, we got another question. Yeah,

270
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: the last question by boys Street con Yeah Street, all right, shree.

271
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: His question is you guys are doing a great job

272
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: of loving the information and the questions are being asked. Well,

273
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: thank you, Shree. His question is about wide receiver. Why

274
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: are we not targeting guys like Danny m Mendola and

275
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: other small slot receivers in free agency? Yeah, Amadola signed

276
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: with Miami, right, but just because these small slot receivers

277
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: And also what do we think about the slot receivers

278
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: in the trash? Yes, uh yeah, I mean it's interesting.

279
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: Campanero is gonna go probably it looks like he's gonna

280
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: be gone. Uh so you look at who is your

281
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: slot guy? Is Smokey Brown slot? I mean mostly has

282
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: played outside of it's Crab Tree is not a slot receiver. Um.

283
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: You know at the time of taping this Decker is

284
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: visiting the Ravens. Reportedly today he's not really he's not

285
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 1: a slot So the Ravens do have a position open there. Um. Now,

286
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: maybe Chris More could work something out of the slot.

287
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: Maybe that's uh, he's the other rookie kid that was

288
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: lightened up last year. Oh, Quincy had a boyho Not

289
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: Quincy had a boy jo Tim White White. Yeah, maybe

290
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: he can work out of the slot. I mean there's

291
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: an opening another rookie. I don't think necessarily in today's

292
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: NFL that your slot receiver has to be like this guy, right,

293
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be me out there running around. Uh

294
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: look at last year Macklin was signed to be a

295
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: slot guy. He's not. He doesn't fit that that building.

296
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: Danny Amendola or uh, Michael Campario exactly, Michael Campernaro. So

297
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: I think you can find you could probably plug and

298
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: play a number of different dudes in there and not

299
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: have any concerns. But with that said, somebody like a Campanero,

300
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: that small shift you can really get open. This sall faces,

301
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: small spaces. I think that the Ravens will consider some

302
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: of those guys in draft. I don't know if this

303
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: is true, but I'm just curious if there's any feeling

304
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: that maybe the traditional maybe it's kind of what you're saying,

305
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: the traditional slot receiver, like a camper Naro type player,

306
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: is not really what the Ravens need in this offense.

307
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: If they really wanted that kind of guy, maybe they

308
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: would have been more interested in keeping Campernaro or going

309
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: after Danny and Doola. I don't know that to be

310
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: the case, but but maybe that's something as they go

311
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: through this process, it's been clear that they've wanted to

312
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: go through a big change in this receiver group, just

313
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: basically totally shift the room, have a completely new group,

314
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: and maybe they don't feel like these traditional slot receiver

315
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: is an aperative piece of that. Yeah, a lot of

316
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: these draft wide receivers, according to the draft nicks, the

317
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: analysts are, oh, this guy projects as a slot Christian Kirk,

318
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: even Ridley, some you know people say it works out

319
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: of slot. A lot of these guys outside of Courtland

320
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: Sutton are like labeled as that. So you might be

321
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: able to get one in the draft too. All right,

322
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: So just to talk more draft here, we're talking wide

323
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: receiver right now, and I wanna I want to ask

324
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: you some questions, one being who are you taking between

325
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley and d J. Moore. So we're as sixteen,

326
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: they're both there, just say you're gonna you have to

327
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: take their UM? I probably that's a great question. I

328
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: would probably take Calvin Ridley. UM. He was based on

329
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: all the projections, he was the top guy coming into

330
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: the draft process, and he's taking a little bit of hit.

331
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: Didn't have a great combine. So I'm so but I

332
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: go back to and what that's what the Ravens always say.

333
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: You trust the tape, And I think at the end

334
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: of the season he was regarded as the best wide

335
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: receiver by pretty much everyone watched the tape and watch

336
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: college football games, right, and now suddenly he's he sticks.

337
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: Um it's this is what people seem to be saying. Um.

338
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: So I would probably take Calvin, really. I just he's

339
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: a guy that has been productive in Alabama. He's got

340
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: great speed, he runs good routes. I would take Ridley,

341
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: and I think it's close though. Yeah, you agree, I'm

342
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: gonna go Ridley as well. Yeah, And I think the

343
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: whole thing on Ridley has just been really funny, Like,

344
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at it on the surface, and uh,

345
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: here's a guy that was considered head and shoulders the

346
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: best wide receiver. Now all of a sudden, he apparently

347
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: doesn't do well at the combine. Yeah, he ran almost

348
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: the exact same time and d J. Moore did. It's

349
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: so great combing he ran almost They ran almost identical times.

350
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: They both put up fifteen inch press reps. Now, the

351
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: big difference was in their leaving ability. Ridley did not

352
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: jump very high DJ Moore jumped very high and good

353
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: broad jump too. For djm Mark they're the same size.

354
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: But I'm sorry, I'm not willing to flip flop two

355
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 1: guys based on jumping. Right. I've seen, I've seen the highlights.

356
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: I've seen Crawls and Ridley climb the ladder and go

357
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: up and make some ridiculous catches. Now these are his

358
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: YouTube highlights, my favorite, your favorite way to watch David's

359
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: kind of tape. Yeah, and so I'm not too worried

360
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: about Cavin Ridley's ability to get up and make a play.

361
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,719
Speaker 1: I also think that, like the Ravens have talked for

362
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: years about, well, you know, we don't draft, generally speaking

363
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: high enough to get the best five receiver on the board,

364
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: here's a chance to do it. Okay, for some he's

365
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: but he's not like this prototypical guy or whatever. But

366
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: now he's sliding. Like, to me, it checks so many boxes.

367
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: Here's the guy that was regarded as a top ten

368
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 1: pick by most people. Uh and everybody was saying you're

369
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: gonna have to train up to get him. Now he's

370
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 1: sliding for no good reason and he could be available

371
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: with sixteen. Sure, thank you very much, went to Alabama. Sure,

372
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: thank you very much. Is the best right receiver in

373
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: the class destination? Sure, thank you very much. You have

374
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: an obvious need of wide receiver check. Well, yeah, it

375
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: makes sense and on so many different levels, it checks

376
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: so many different boxes that I'm just not going to

377
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: knock the guy because he doesn't look like Julio Jones

378
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: like he's is. Nick Satan says his work ethic is amazing,

379
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 1: great perfectionist set his craft. Yeah, I'll take that too.

380
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: So I just think that people now have cold feet

381
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: on Calvin Ridley, and I don't really think that it's

382
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: for a good reason, and and that could even play

383
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: into the Raven's hands. Yeah, they could certainly benefit and

384
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: be the benefactors of that. I think what this past

385
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: few weeks has indicated, just based on the draft pundits,

386
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 1: is that there doesn't seem to be a big separation

387
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 1: from Calvin Ridley to DJ More, you know, and then

388
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: the question is is one of them to say really

389
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: worth taking at sixteen. I think that really this this

390
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 1: sweet spot, as we've talked about many times, is at

391
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 1: the back half of the first round, where if there's

392
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: not a huge difference in DJ More and Calvin Ridley,

393
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: they're kind of on equal footing in your mind. Can

394
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: you add an extra pick, maybe an extra second or

395
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: third round or something like that, and move back into

396
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: the bibe spots? Yeah, move back five spots. Maybe you

397
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: miss on really, but you get more and you added

398
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: an additional pick. That's I don't hate that scenario at all.

399
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: That's that's where I think the Ravens may find themselves. Yeah,

400
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: I would agree. Uh, are there any other wide receivers

401
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: later round wide receivers later rounds? Well? We could even say,

402
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 1: I've said before I like Courtland Sutton. Now I know

403
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: he's in that same category, but maybe he's but he

404
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: could be available in the he could be available in

405
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: the second. Um, you sound like you have someone in mind.

406
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,719
Speaker 1: I have a few people. Yeah, I like this Florida kid,

407
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: Antonio Callaway, big off the field question marks. Yeah yeah, yeah,

408
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: field questions, but a lot of town town there. I

409
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: think it depends on how far he could slide. He

410
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: could be a bargain. Yeah. I think you gotta obviously

411
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: forgot like that. You gotta do the homework. You know,

412
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: it's not just the football components, but you've got to

413
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: really figure out what those off the field. You gotta

414
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: be good with those, yeah. De Sean Hamilton's lit up

415
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl, did really well the East Shrine Game.

416
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: Penn State kid was at once a big time prospect,

417
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: kind of a late could be a late bloomer. I'm

418
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: thinking maybe fourth round for him. You might see him

419
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: like I sit around box, all right, I'm taking no

420
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: serier to see who you're gonna say we already thinking. Yeah,

421
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: I do like Christian Kirk. Now that's probably a late first,

422
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: early second kind of guy. I don't know that you

423
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 1: get this there in second maybe, but I kind of

424
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 1: like his attitude to toughness. I kind of like Christian Kirk.

425
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 1: And here's too late late round guys talking fifth to

426
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: seven all in. Take Florida State pull up, Okay, dud

427
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: dude could be a beast. Richie James Middle Tennessee State. Okay,

428
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: I think he's a playmaker, electric kind of guy. Nice.

429
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: I like that those are we're getting kind of digging

430
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: deep into the vault there. Yeah. I love the draft,

431
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: so I like I like looking at all these guys

432
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: and their YouTube. All right, So moving on tight end

433
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: is a position that we probably haven't talked enough about

434
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: because wide receiver we talked and nausea about. But right

435
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 1: now the Ravens don't have a pass catching tight end

436
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 1: traditional pass catching ten and on the roster. You can

437
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: throw it in Nick Will and he'll hurt you, but

438
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: it would you don't want to throw it too times? Yeah, Um,

439
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: so who do you like it? Tight end? Where do

440
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,719
Speaker 1: you think the Ravens need to target somebody? And you

441
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: think that they still need to sign a veteran pass

442
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: catching Well, I'll answer the second question first. I don't

443
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: love the options as the veteran pass catchers, you know,

444
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: Mercedes Lewis. Yeah, Um, there's just not this great crop

445
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: of you know, if they can get if they can

446
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: get on an in on a Grock trade shirt, you know,

447
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: And now I'm interested, But I don't think that's gonna happen.

448
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: So I think that the draft is as it stands

449
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: right now, is going to be the most likely place

450
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: for that. You know that. I like Mike Jasecki from

451
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 1: Penn State. I said that a million times. I think

452
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: he can be there in the second round, the middle

453
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: of the second round. Um, he's really athletic. Um, I

454
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: think he fits the mold of what you want in

455
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 1: a pass catching tight end. I like the guys that

456
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: the top guys, Dallas Goddard, Uh, he's big. I mean

457
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: he looking at him, he kind of looks like a

458
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: crocket Gilmore. Um. I just liked physically what he could bring.

459
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 1: He's got good hands. But I think the challenge there

460
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: is gonna be he's also in that late first early

461
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,479
Speaker 1: second round conversation where you're also gonna be looking at

462
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: wide a shiver, You're gonna be looking at offensive tackle

463
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: because you know so it's gonna it's gonna be interesting

464
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: where there's all those tight ends go. Like those three

465
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 1: guys kind of are generally regarded as the top three

466
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: being Gasecky, Haydon Hurst to go to get her, got her,

467
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: and Hayden Hurst and what order they going is going

468
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: to be interesting. Yeah, So I think it would be

469
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: in a perfect world. The Ravens address. I think tight

470
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: end with the first or second pick in this year's draft. First, well,

471
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think it's a sixteen, but

472
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 1: I think within the first or second pick they will

473
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: add a tight end. I think that they could go third.

474
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: I know, I know you're taking your boy a second

475
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: in the second round. You don't have to. I'm not

476
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily locked in in, but I got the

477
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 1: eraser handy. That means. That means because I know you're

478
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: you're taking the first round, you're taking your boy, Mike.

479
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: I'm gletcha, You're not taking a receiver to the third round.

480
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: We'll see how it all plays Wow, breaking news here, folks.

481
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 1: Scared Downing is about to be public enemy number one.

482
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 1: We're gonna take you might not take once in the fourth.

483
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: We'll see how this all plays out. I haven't finalized

484
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: by stretched the imagination. Uh so do do the do

485
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: the Ravens talking about tight ends and wide receivers. I

486
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: thought this was an interesting conversation that we had with

487
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: Eric the Coston last part is, you know, do you

488
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: have to stretch to pick those guys? Because generally speaking,

489
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 1: the Ravens and stuff by best Player Mantra right, and

490
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: all these wide receivers and stuff, they get drafted before

491
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: the Ravens think they should get drafted. Right. So do

492
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: the Ravens need to change or do they stick with

493
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: the tried and true. I think that they're going to

494
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: evolve and basically make that shift I think that there's

495
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: been a lot of talk of that. Eric talked a

496
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 1: little bit more about that this week and just how

497
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: these receivers are valued at these kind at a high level. UM,

498
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: and the league has moved in that direction. So I

499
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: think that the Ravens probably he recognized that. I mean,

500
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: he's talking about it for a reason. So I think

501
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: that the Ravers are moving in that direction. Um, he's

502
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: not willing to spell that out and say that. Yeah. Yeah.

503
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: I try to get him to say that. He said, yeah,

504
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 1: I'm not necessary saying. At the same time, you also

505
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: said we were just not firing enough bullets at wide receiver.

506
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: So in order to fire him, you're gonna have to

507
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: shift right, and you're not just gonna fire those bullets

508
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: in the fourth, fifth, sixth round. You're gonna take guys

509
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: earlier on. Maybe you get lucky, and just because there

510
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: is so much depth in that second and third round

511
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: wide receivers that one of them fits. And I guarantee

512
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: that this is going to be the case. When the

513
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 1: Ravens do you draft a wide receiver, they're gonna say,

514
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 1: just so happening, was the highest rank guy on the bar. Yeah,

515
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: that's happening. Maybe that's right, you know, maybe there's so

516
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 1: many guys in that area that one does slip through

517
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 1: the cracks and get to them. So they like a lot.

518
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 1: But yeah, either way, I think they might have to

519
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: stretch if that scenario plays out. You know, when we

520
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: talk about best you know, the other thing that I

521
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: can't remember it was AUSI or what I don't think

522
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,719
Speaker 1: as Eric who said it during the pre draft presser,

523
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: there's a very good chance ans that the player that

524
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: we pick no will the player that we pick a

525
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: six team will fill a need well Philli need. He

526
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: did say that as well during the presser. So yeah,

527
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 1: it's gonna be the best player available. It's gonna be

528
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 1: the best player available. Let's just say it's a defensive tackle.

529
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: Who's the best player available for just talking about the board,

530
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: I think Steve Shoddy laid out that it's not gonna

531
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: be a de tackle coming off. Yeah. Anyway, talking about

532
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and positions that are valued, here's the big book question.

533
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: Do you think that the Ravens could draft a quarterback

534
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: at number sixteen? I do. I do think that they could.

535
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 1: You know, it depends. This year's quarterback class is really deep,

536
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: there's a lot of there's a lot of good quarterbacks

537
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: are gonna be drafted in the first round. I mean,

538
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: there's potential for five quarterbacks to be taken before the

539
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: Ravens are on the clock at six team. The potential

540
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,959
Speaker 1: exists Lamar Jackson before Lamar Jackson would be the obviously

541
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: the fifth guy he could come off the board before

542
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: if they're uts to be that run, Um, there's gonna

543
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: be a run on the top on the top five.

544
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: You could have four gone. You got a foe gone

545
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: before you even get to the fifth pick. Um. But

546
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 1: with that said, this is considered a really really good

547
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: quarterback draft. And so if you're thinking, all right, Lamar

548
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: Jackson in most years, let's just use him as an example,

549
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: because he's the guy that would be there most likely

550
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: at number sixteen if you were saying most years, he

551
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: would be the best quarterback in the traft. But this

552
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: is a weird year where you have you have Sam

553
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 1: Donald and Josh Rosen who are also there, Baker Mayfield.

554
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got to Josh allten, You've got two

555
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: two most recent highs some trophy winners, and you've got

556
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 1: two pro three prototypical NFL big arm quarterbacks and Rose

557
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: and Donald and Alan. So my point is, if you

558
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: feel like this is typically a guy a Baker Mayfield

559
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: or a Lamar Jackson who would go in the top five,

560
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: but if you have a chance to get him at sixteen,

561
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: then I think that there's a chance that the Ravens

562
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 1: pull the trigger around like guy like that. I would agree.

563
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: I think that they could take a quarterback, and I

564
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 1: think the most likely one to be there at sixteen

565
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: is Lamar Jackson. I don't think that Baker Mayfield's getting

566
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: the succeed I don't think he's getting out on top ten.

567
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 1: I agree with that. And Josh Allen's interesting. I mean,

568
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: I don't think he's getting out either. His arm, he

569
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 1: did really well to combine his arm is special. Uh,

570
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: he might be. He could be number one overall. I

571
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,719
Speaker 1: mean he could be. Yea, he totally could be. So

572
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: I don't think he's buffalo in their elements. I think

573
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: would like a stronger and quarterback to drive it through

574
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: the snow. Um. Yeah, I don't think he's getting out

575
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: of top five either. So I think Lamar Jackson is

576
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 1: the most likely guy to be there at sixteen. And

577
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: do you think the Ravens would if he is there,

578
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: You think that he's a guy that they could pull

579
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 1: the trigger on. I do think that they could. I

580
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: do think that they could. I don't, but I don't

581
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 1: think it's by any means a guarantee. You like, but

582
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: like I think if it's if you were having a guy,

583
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 1: if Baker were there at sixteen, I think we might

584
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 1: be having a different conversation. It's a guarantee. I shouldn't

585
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 1: say I don't think it's a guarantee. I don't think

586
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: it's a guarantee. But I think it's closer to the guarantee.

587
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 1: You know the spectrum. Um, it's hard, it's hard, it's

588
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: hard to kind of break down. I'm gonna go out

589
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: on the limb and I'm gonna say, if Baker's there

590
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 1: at sixteen, it is more than okay, I'm gonna go

591
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:27,479
Speaker 1: out on six I'm gonna get so anyway. UM, I

592
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: do think that there's there's a chance that the Ravens

593
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: were Tod could draft one at sixteen. I do, But

594
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a guarantee. Um. I've said, here's

595
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: my feeling. One thing that has kind of moved in

596
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: this direction for me over the past week or so,

597
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: I would be surprised that the Ravens drafts at sixteen.

598
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: I think they can move up. I think they can

599
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: move up. Um. I think that they will be definitely

600
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: if they don't move up and they cut on the

601
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: clock of sixteen, they were gonna be waiting to see

602
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: if the phone rings and if Lamar Jackson's there. You know,

603
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: you have these teams that can be looking for the

604
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: quarterback of the future, even guys we've proven proven quarterbacks

605
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: that are there. Drew Ease, Uh, the Saints can be

606
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: looking for that guy. The Patriots can be looking for

607
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: that guy. Patriots have a bunch of picks. So now

608
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: if they're willing to move up from like a you know,

609
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: back of the first to sixteen, and you add to

610
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: say a second round pick, okay, I think the Rains

611
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: will be very happy with that. So I don't think

612
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: they're staying the sixteen. You don't think they're staying I

613
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: do not think the Rains will stay a sixteen. Interesting, Yeah,

614
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: I think that they don't would prefer not to stay

615
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: at sixteen. I think that they and the past two

616
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: years that has been the case. But it just takes

617
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: two to tango and they haven't found the trade partner.

618
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: Last year reportedly wanted to move up and take Marshal

619
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: a lot more but couldn't. Then they wanted the year before,

620
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: they wanted to move up and get Janalen Ramsey couldn't,

621
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: could but weren't willing to agree with terms um so,

622
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: and I think this year, when you look at it,

623
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: it might make most sense to move back. When you're

624
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: talking about maybe you get your pick of Calvin Really

625
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: or d J. Moore or your tight end or whatever,

626
00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: based on their needs, it seems like moving back makes

627
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: them this sense. I think that's why a lot of

628
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: it hinges on the quarterback that's available, Because if Lamar

629
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: Jackson is there and there's interest in him, and there's

630
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: these teams that aren't like picking at seventeen, but you

631
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: have these these teams in the twenty six, you know,

632
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: in that range, then I think that's where you have

633
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: the conversation that one of these teams says, Okay, rather

634
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: than weigh around if you're if you're the Patriots, let's

635
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: not wait and see if the Saints taking if you

636
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: want that guy, let's go get him right right all right. Well,

637
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: but that's a lot of good draft talk, and we

638
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: will have a lot more, including some dark horse candidates

639
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: so you know what would be a shocking pick. And

640
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: we also are working the phones to get some well

641
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: known draft experts on the podcast in the next week. Names,

642
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: big names with bigger hair than me. Yes, there's a

643
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: little hints. Yeah, there's a little hints. So but that said,

644
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: let's bring in an old friend. Now, this guy might

645
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:48,959
Speaker 1: not be as big a name as some of those

646
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: other guys, but to our listeners, he's a big name.

647
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: It's big cream of the crop. We're bringing in the

648
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: common man. Alright, So common Man, thanks for coming back.

649
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: First of all, pleasure to be here always. You don't know,

650
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if we've flouted for any other guests

651
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: that we've ever had where the common man sets the

652
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: new bar. Eric, Yeah, yeah, it's true. You guys bring

653
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,719
Speaker 1: me on for all the important stuff. Yeah, serial drafts. Yeah,

654
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: before we get to that though, we're just having some

655
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: good draft draft conversation. Who do you think the Ravens

656
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: should take it number sixteen? If they stay at sixteen? Yeah,

657
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: I'm not going to even attempt to answer that question.

658
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: Got big times. Yeah, no, I can't. You know, I

659
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: make a pick every year, as you guys know, when

660
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,719
Speaker 1: we're here for draft, and I don't think I've ever

661
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: hit on it. Yeah exactly. I don't know how to

662
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: evaluate players. So what I will say is, you know,

663
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: I think that the fans and even myself included at times,

664
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: get really caught up with need um. And you know,

665
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: it seems like lately the position of need has always

666
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: been wide receiver, and fans expect, because that is the

667
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: position of need, the Ravens to use their first round

668
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: pick or their first pick on that position um. And

669
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: I just think that that gets overblown a little bit.

670
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: So I'm a big fan of best player available in

671
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: the first round across the board, but especially for a

672
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: first round you know, best player available. You know, I

673
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: think that you need depth at every position. Last year

674
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: we took Marlin Humphrey, and you know, it looked like

675
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: a really strong, you know, really deep position group, and

676
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: then you get injuries. Guys go down, Jimmy Smith goes

677
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: down at the end of the year, and all of

678
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: a sudden, you know, where would we have been without

679
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: Marlin Humphrey. So I say, position of need um is

680
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: overvalued and I think best player available still strategy, so

681
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: I just would like them to do that nice. Alright,

682
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: So now stuff the important stuff and why you really

683
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: brought you in here is to be the judge of

684
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: the first ever serial draft. Donna cook the Draft, don

685
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: the Pizza Draft, don't think team draft, don the travel Draft.

686
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: Have you won one of these? Never Cereal? And to

687
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: kick this off, as we always do, we play rocket

688
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: scissors to decide who gets the first pick. Yep, and

689
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: just we have a list of ten cereals here and

690
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: you have rated the cereals I have on a one

691
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: to ten scale. Have al right, so there will be

692
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: he will be the overall judge. Ever gets the most

693
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: points wins. All right? Correct? Cool, all right, Rocker says, go,

Speaker 1: Rock you got rock You're a paper guy. This is

699
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: you're rock headed or what you are? Just scissors? Alright,

700
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: So with the first pick and the first ever annual

701
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: Inaugural Cereal Draft, I'll go ahead and take the easy one.

702
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: Cinnamon toast crunching, cinnamon toast crunch. I mean, this is

703
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: that's an example, right there, best player available, that's what

704
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: I'm like. Yeah, I mean everyone can agree with that, alright.

705
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: Number two, I'm going with a personal faith. Oh my god,

706
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: this is this is this is another love you don't make.

707
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: I've got to say, I've done a bunch of these

708
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 1: drafts with you, and you know, I just like that.

709
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: You stay true to your heart. You don't really try

710
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: to win the draft. Just go with what you like.

711
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: It doesn't work out. A good side, not a good side.

712
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: That's not a great pick. That is a terrible pick.

713
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: All right. That's when you took a pizza. Alright, just

714
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 1: make your pick. Alright. Let's go number two here, and

715
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: I feel great about this one. Honey nut cheerios. Oh

716
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: that's awful. Pick honey nut cheerios. I feel great about

717
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,959
Speaker 1: this is the best steal. I gotta steal. I gotta

718
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: steal beside. Second pick, I'm going captain crunch. That's that's good,

719
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: a classic. I'll go captain crunch with crunchies. I'll go

720
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 1: peanut butter. This is this is just traditional captain crunch.

721
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 1: But I'll take any of the thread. Yeah, amazing, I

722
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 1: like I just got that with the fourth pick. That's unbelievable.

723
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: All right, cheerios eight eight Here here's well, that's because

724
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: you're an idiot and you just took number one, so

725
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter number three. I'm taking Lucky Charms.

726
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: Lucky Charms. So here's the problem with Lucky Charms. They

727
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: get a The only good part of that is the marshmallows. Yeah,

728
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: and there's like a million. There's too few and far between.

729
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: The cereal gets soggy, super fast, and it's bland. The

730
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: cereal itself has no flap. Here's a question, would you

731
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: eat Lucky Charm? Would you prefer Lucky Charms if it

732
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: was just the marshmallows? Yeah, you can kind of pick

733
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: them out it you need to have a little bit

734
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: of sally. I agree with that, I think a little bit.

735
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: But but the oats are an important fact. But there

736
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 1: there's definitely not enough marshmallows. The oats just get saggy,

737
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:58,919
Speaker 1: and there's too many of them. Are Here's the other question,

738
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: abou Lucky terms you eat it all or do you

739
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,919
Speaker 1: save the marshmallows? For the end. Well, that goes. That's

740
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: why it's about. You need a good bounce in each bike. Okay, okay,

741
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: I agree that. All right. Next, I can't believe I

742
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: got this again. Oh my god, this is unbelievable. I'm

743
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: going with my third pick, cock crismalskis. That might be

744
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 1: the worst cereal of all time. Serious cookie Christmas Christmas, great,

745
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: terrible Cookie Christmas is so good. You draft, you draft

746
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: like a four year old christ and the healthy cereals.

747
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: You go with the unhealthy cereals and you're the only

748
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: good one. You go with cookie christ and fruity pebbles

749
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 1: and your top three picks and rudge. Oh my god,

750
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: I have great picks here, all right, So just to

751
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: continue the domination here, to continue the domination, I'll go ahead.

752
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure shocked I'm getting this. I'll take another great cereal.

753
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: Frost in flakes. You're an idiot. I'll take another. Such

754
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: an old man, this goes. This is you in a nutshell,

755
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: you're an old man. Frost flakes in the thirty year

756
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 1: old body. I mean, here comes there comes to the

757
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: raisin brand. Pick for me. I'm going Honeycomb. How the

758
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: honeyco slogan. How do they say it's like that little

759
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 1: grimling guy. Yeah, I know it looks like but I

760
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not sure. I don't need a lot

761
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 1: of honeycomb. Growing on honeycomb is great. It's okay, it's

762
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: really good. It's it's not a terrible cereal, but it's

763
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: also it's very good when there's other options that you know,

764
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 1: it's very honeycomb. Here's the issue with honeycomb. It's there's

765
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: not enough. It's too airy. It's two airs to air,

766
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: there's not enough kind of meat behind each bote. You

767
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: bite into it and there's like, you know what you're

768
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: the king of right now? In this draft? Well, you

769
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: know what I would say. My critique of honeycomb is

770
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 1: that they're too big. You can only get like one

771
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: or two on a spoonfuls in all mouth. Clearly, listener

772
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: to this podcast, now, have a big yeah, just talk

773
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: all right. This is the last pick, and we only

774
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: picked ten cereals here. The final two options are Smacks

775
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: and Raisin Brand. We put Smacks on there, and I'm

776
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and take Smacks with my final pick.

777
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: It's an interesting one. You hate me, you were hating me.

778
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 1: You were hating on me for my options here, and

779
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna end up with Raisin Brand. Brand is a

780
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 1: great cereal, that's terrible. It's a good serial. If you

781
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: want to talk about old man ceial, Raisin Brand is

782
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: the ultimate old man. So just as a final recap here,

783
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,760
Speaker 1: I've got Cinema, Toast crunch on Materials, Lucky Charms, frosted Flakes,

784
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 1: and the old finale smack. I seriously think I dominated us.

785
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: I have fruity Pebbles, Captain Crunch, Cookie Crisp. Literally, I

786
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: seriously have four of my top five, but usually have

787
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: four of my top five. The only one I didn't

788
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: get a simtast Crusch finished with unlucky for you. I

789
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: am the judge and the jury of this little contest,

790
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: as I always am, idiot, which is why I like it.

791
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: So I'll go through my top ten and as always

792
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: it was a blowout. Another l has my top four picks.

793
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: So number one Cinnamon toast Crunch. I think do we

794
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:15,879
Speaker 1: all agree aton you have taken I think that that's yeah,

795
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: that's a unity choice. Number two honey out Cheerios. You

796
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 1: guys are so here's you guys, are so dumb. Respect

797
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, let me explain myself. Honey out Cheerios.

798
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 1: Something that I value extremely high with cereal is the

799
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:35,320
Speaker 1: ability to eat multiple bowls. One bowl of cereal is

800
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 1: not enough. There's always gotta be a refle You've got

801
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 1: a little extra milk, you want a little more cereal.

802
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: So hounting out cheerios is great for that because it's

803
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,240
Speaker 1: the healthiest of all. It's surprisingly healthy and it tastes

804
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 1: so you can literally eat this. It does. You can

805
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 1: eat an entire box of hunting That cheerios and not

806
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: feel bad about your It always eat tastes delicious. You

807
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 1: know what's the best part about hunting Out Curious is

808
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: that you can put fruit in it. You put some

809
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: strawberries in there. You always got to find a way

810
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: to just enjoy. That's a really good part about honey

811
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: that number three lucky charms. Yeah, I don't know. The

812
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: hate for lucky charms coming out of your mouth is

813
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:15,760
Speaker 1: disturbing it. I mean, it's pretty obvious. It's he didn't

814
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: get it, and so he's trying to like, not that

815
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: good he wanted it. I took the paper from him,

816
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 1: and he's trying to justify ms at number seven. It's

817
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 1: just not that it's a top five. I mean, I

818
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: think you guys omitted a few good cereals here, but

819
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:34,800
Speaker 1: it's a top five for America. Four Frosted Flakes h

820
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: another classic. It's a classic. Yeah. Five. Mike finally gets

821
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 1: on the board at five with Captain Crunch. Captain. It's

822
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: a great series. Actually, I actually switched my number two

823
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:48,959
Speaker 1: and three at the last minute. I had Captain Crunch

824
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 1: at two and Thretty Pebbles at three, but I just

825
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: wanted some pretty pebbles really bad. I do like Captain

826
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: Crunch a lot, and I had Pretty Pebbles at six,

827
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 1: which I also do like. It's not a bad cereal.

828
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: Just when you come with this list, I mean having

829
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: that as your first pick was it was bad number seven,

830
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 1: Honeycomb number eight, Smacks number nine, Cookie Crisp, Serious Crispin

831
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: number nine. I despise Cookie Crisp. I think it's a

832
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: terrible serial. It's yeah, it's just there's nothing to it.

833
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,240
Speaker 1: It's just if you want a cookie, you have a cookie.

834
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: You know you don't need to have it. But what

835
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: do you do with the cookie? You dip it in milk? Right.

836
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 1: Sometimes this is Crisp is essentially taking the worst possable

837
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 1: store brand chocolate chip cookies and putting putting them in milk. Yeah, like,

838
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: it's just not good. And there's literally only one cereal

839
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 1: in the world that is worth worse than Cookie Crisp,

840
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:51,359
Speaker 1: and that's the Reasons. Look, I don't like Reason brand

841
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 1: all that much either, but I got boxed to the

842
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: pick because once again we didn't do snake draft, which

843
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: is the only logical way to handle Why was once

844
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 1: again Garrett is with the judge the common man, and

845
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: you two spend way too much time together. You're always

846
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: at each other's house eating cereals, so I should have

847
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 1: known them before with stacked again, yeah, I had no

848
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: idea what I had no idea what the ready system was.

849
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,800
Speaker 1: But it's another win for me and you just continue.

850
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,200
