It's definitely a major upgrade for the Ravens 6 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 1: offensive line. It fits a raven signing during this time 7 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 1: of the year. Welcome into the lounge.

We're to make Where's make can't be found?

I usually don't go 21 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: airplane mode when I go to bed, but my wife started, 22 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: you know, she read this thing. Oh you know, you 23 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: get brain cancer. You know if you have your phone 24 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: right by your head all night, not airplane mode, it's you, 25 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 1: you know, turn it on airplane mode. So I blame 26 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: her from my laps in free agency reaction this morning. 27 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 1: But yeah, I woke up to the garret text. Just 28 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: as a side note, if it's on airplane mode, are 29 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: you still on WiFi? Still a WiFi? Still? I don't 30 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: know how. Only go so far here, only goes so far. Look, 31 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: I didn't hear it bus all right, that's the bottom line. Okay. 32 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: Uh woke up. It was like, oh my, get the 33 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: pants on, here we go. It's time. It's free agency time, baby, 34 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: let's go. Um. So this is this is a great move. 35 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: I love this move. And I gotta say I kind 36 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,559 Speaker 1: of called the hell out of this move, okay, because 37 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: as soon as Kevin Zeitler was released, I gave it 38 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: the old eyes emoji on Twitter, the old I see 39 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: what's going on? Yeah, and I would not be surprised 40 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: with the Ravens jump on this. Kevin Zeitler is a 41 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: guy former first round pick in twelve. I think he 42 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: went to the Bengals a couple of picks before the 43 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:30,119 Speaker 1: Ravens were supposed to select that year. Uh and uh, 44 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: you know, here's a guy who's playing the a s C. North. 45 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: Drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals, played five years there once 46 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns played two years there before being traded 47 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: to the New York Giants and in what was a 48 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: massive Odie Odell Beckham trade. Um, he was part of that. 49 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: So here's a player. He hasn't been to a Pro Bowl, 50 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: but I think has been widely regarded as one of 51 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: the top guards in the league. Um, you know, certainly 52 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: in that top tier for quite some time. Um. And 53 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: and he just fits the Ravens really well the way 54 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: he plays a lot of power, he can still move 55 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: and be a pooling guard. Uh. And and like I said, 56 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: he was born and bred in the ANFC North. Yeah. 57 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: He also is incredibly durable. I mean, the guy's missed 58 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: one game in the past six years, so you know 59 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna get everything out of him. And it just 60 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: like it fits a Raven signing during this time of 61 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: the year, really quality player. He's already gotten a big contract. 62 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,679 Speaker 1: This is early his third contract, not his second contract. 63 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: He was released, so he's not counting against the compensitory 64 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: pick formula. He's not huge money. You know, reported three years, 65 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: twenty two million dollars. That's not massive money when you're 66 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: talking about a stellar guard along the offensive line. So 67 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: for all those reasons, it just seems like the quintessential 68 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: Ravens signing. And really, I mean this is this is 69 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: a move that's more than a year in the making. 70 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: When you consider where the Ravens were right guard. I 71 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: mean they had in Marcerianda right guard, and then last 72 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: year it was a rotation of guys through there. It 73 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: was Tyree Phillips, it was Ben Powers, it was d J. Fluker. Uh. 74 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: I don't think I'm missing anybody, but basically everyone got 75 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: a shot there at right guard. Is the Ravens trying 76 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: to fill that spot there that was vacated by Yonda 77 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: And now they get a proven commodity, somebody who you 78 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: know you're gonna get, you know, all sixteen games out 79 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: of him. Plug him in at right guard and you're 80 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: off off to the races. Yeah, it's definitely a major 81 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: upgrade for the Ravens offensive line, which is in flux 82 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: a little bit this offseason. We don't know what it's 83 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 1: gonna look like with the Landa Brown Jr. And who's 84 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: going to be the center, you know, is there's still 85 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: a move coming at center. Um, there's still a lot 86 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 1: of question marks. Let me just tell this about about 87 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: Zeitler real quick. I remember, I think I've only gone 88 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: to the Combine once or twice. The Combines usually you're beat. 89 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: I'm an owner's meetings guy, because I'm a let's go 90 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: down to you know, Paul Beach, hang out on the 91 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: beach kind of guy. You know. Plus plus I'm hob 92 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: snob with the owners. You know, I'm high class. You Garrett, 93 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: I just need to get tossed out in the the muck, 94 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: you know, with all the other Combine reporters, you know. 95 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: So I remember though, one of the years that I 96 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: went to the Combine, like talking to Ortiz and I 97 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: think I went to the Zeitler press conference and I 98 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: was like, I like this guy. He he just seems 99 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: like a raven, you know. I mean he's six ft four, 100 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: he's big, big dude, and just his personality, his attitude 101 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: seemed like Raven. I remember talking to Georties. He was 102 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: like yeah, Zeisler, oh yeah, oh yeah and uh and 103 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: then like I said, you know, he goes to the Bengals, 104 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: a couple picked before the Ravens. I don't know that 105 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: the Ravens would have taken him because they had a 106 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: guy that you already mentioned named Marshal Yanda. But um, 107 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: you know, he's just I think a guy that the 108 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: Ravens have looked at for a long time and said, yeah, 109 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: this guy. He screams Raven to me, So I think 110 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: he'll be a really great fit in here. But let's 111 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 1: let's talk about, because we were already chatting about this 112 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: online this morning, how what does the Ravens offensive line 113 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: look like next year with this move? Before we do that, let' 114 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll be right back to 115 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: break that all down. Passionate fans, winning traditions and legendary toughness, 116 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: or why Ram trucks and Ravens football go hand to 117 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: hand when it comes to power, luxury and technology, Like 118 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: an available twelve inch you Connect touchscreen, you can't find 119 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: a better light duty or a heavy duty truck go 120 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: to Ram dot com to find your local Ram dealers, 121 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,679 Speaker 1: schedule a test drive, and experience everything that goes into 122 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: making dependable Ram trucks.

That was like the first thing that he 137 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: pointed to was upgrading the offensive line. Yeah, okay, I 138 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: was like getting confused on who it was, but he 139 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: pointed out that you can improve by upgrading the offensive line, 140 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: and to me, that was at the time, like, oh, okay, 141 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: there's that's clearly an area where the Ravens want to 142 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: address here, and I don't think it's any secret, um, 143 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: when you saw how all of the last season went, 144 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: especially in the playoffs. But now they did it, and 145 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: I think that that is just it was clear that 146 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: this was an area they wanted to address, and now 147 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: I do it. So anyway, um, what does the starting 148 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: five look like. Let's just assume for the sake of 149 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,679 Speaker 1: this discussion that Ronnie Stanley is healthy, which the Ravens 150 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: said that they expect him to be back ready to go. 151 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: He did have a second surgery on that leg, but 152 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: they expect him to be ready to go for the 153 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: start of the season. So he's gonna be at left tackle, 154 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: and then from there there's a lot the rest of 155 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: it is kind of up in the air. Zeitler will 156 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: be at right guard, and then I've said that I 157 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: think Orlando will get traded. As much as I love him, 158 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: I think that he's ultimately going to get traded. I 159 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: think looking more and more like that. Yeah, I mean, 160 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: he talked last week to Mike Gari Folo said, there's 161 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: you know, six teams in the mix. It just seems 162 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: like there's gonna be a move that happens where he 163 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: gets traded. So I think that the right tackle. If 164 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: I were put into somebody as a favorite right now, 165 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,199 Speaker 1: I'd probably say Tyree Phillips. You know he bounced between 166 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: tackle and guard last year, but I would put Phillips there. 167 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: Then you have Bozeman at left guard as it stands 168 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 1: right now, I put Bozeman left guard, and then McCarry 169 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: at center. Oh, don't back off of what you were 170 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: saying this morning. That is so well. You're sitting here 171 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 1: saying Bozeman is going the center this morning. I like 172 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: Bozeman at center. I like that idea. I really like 173 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: he fits. He's big, he's played center in college. It's 174 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: not like this is just an abstract thing of like, 175 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: well he could be a center, like he was a 176 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: center at Alabama. Want a national championship. There's like he's 177 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: he's a good center. It's like you're saying, this isn't 178 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:20,479 Speaker 1: this isn't my Miles Boykin, this isn't my Biles exactly 179 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 1: exactly been a center. So but then the question is 180 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: who plays left guard? Could it be a rookie who 181 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 1: the Ravens don't have right now potentially, I think that 182 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: that's a possibility if you get a rookie left guard 183 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: and I don't know, second round, third round, I think 184 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: that that potential exists. So but the tricky thing is, 185 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: right here, you already have a really good left guard. 186 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: You already have a really good like why move Bozeman 187 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: the center to maybe solved maybe solve a problem there? 188 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 1: You know? I mean, yes, like you said, he played 189 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: center in college, but his Bozeman you know, three years, 190 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,079 Speaker 1: four years removed from playing center, are better right now 191 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: than Patrick McCarey is. Maybe maybe not. I mean, I 192 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: wouldn't say it's like you don't move Bozeman the center 193 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: and say, oh yeah, that is now we got our 194 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: pro Bowl center, you know what I mean? Like, I 195 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: think he could be an upgrade, but why why don't 196 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 1: fix it if it ain't broke? And Bradley Bozeman and 197 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: left guard certainly ain't broke, Like he's turned into a 198 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: really good left guard. And so I say, keep Bozeman 199 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: at center or at left guard, I mean, and then 200 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: figure out what your center is gonna be. And and honestly, 201 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: I know that Patrick McCarey had the snapping issues in Buffalo. 202 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: You know, he explained some of that with the wind 203 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: and the hurry up, and you know he just wasn't 204 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: prepared for it. And you know he could have something 205 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: there like one game, you know, one game with bad snaps, 206 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: I'm I'm able to get past that. Screws started having 207 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: multiple games with bad snaps, and now it's like, all right, 208 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: now we got a yips problem. You know, I think 209 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, I'm okay with moving into next season 210 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: with Patrick McCarey is the starting center. Now does that? 211 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: And and battling with Tristan Cologne Castillo. Let's not for yet. 212 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: He played pretty well too young, good young player like big, 213 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 1: you know, and so I think those guys could compete 214 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: for the starting center job. And then you leave Bozeman 215 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 1: where he is. Uh. And then when you really look 216 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: at it, even if even if Orlando is traded, right, 217 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 1: you still have an upgraded offensive line in front of 218 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: you from what it was in Buffalo. I mean, Ronnie 219 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: Stanley is a better left tackle than Orlando Brown. Right. 220 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: Then you have a better right right guard. Kevin Zeisler 221 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: is a much better right guard than Ben powers is. 222 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: And the rest really stays the same. You know, you 223 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,719 Speaker 1: have Tyree at right tackle potentially, and Bozeman at left 224 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: guard and McCarry at center. So I I think that, uh, 225 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: you know, I can work with that offensive line and 226 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 1: the Ravens still could draft a center, could you You 227 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: could draft somebody in the first round, you know that 228 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: Alabama kid. You could draft Creed Humphrey the in the 229 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: second round, you know. Yeah, the draft is a is 230 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 1: an option for center. The one thing that I do like, 231 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: I mean, center is is such a cerebral position where 232 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: you have to kind of know everything that's taking place. 233 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: But I do think it's a lot for a rookie. 234 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: I think it's a lot for a rookie too, in 235 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: comparison to guard, to come in there and have to 236 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 1: sort of be the the drill sergeant along the offensive line, 237 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:25,839 Speaker 1: which I do like Boseman. He did it, but it's yeah, 238 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: he's an undrafted guy, so he's done it. He didn't 239 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: do that right away. He was undrafted in right. Look, 240 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: I think that I think that McCarey has been a 241 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: solid center. I think that he's been solid. I don't 242 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,319 Speaker 1: think that he's been a Pro Bowl center. I think 243 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: that he's been a solid center, but could The question 244 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: is could you upgrade? Like could you if is Boseman 245 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 1: center better than McCarey, And then is is second round 246 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: pick guard better than is that combination better? Or is 247 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: powers that left art and Bozeman at center better than 248 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: Bozeman at left guard and McCarry at center. That one 249 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 1: was a little bit more tricky. But I think that 250 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: if you could, if you could add a guard in 251 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: another guard in the draft, sure, if you could draft 252 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: a center, I think that that that could work. But 253 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: I do like the idea of having somebody with a 254 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: little bit more experience as your center. I just I 255 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: just like that. I think that there's a lot that 256 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: goes on there that I think there's experience is a 257 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: is a huge benefit for the center spot. So I 258 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: know that you're saying NFL NFL experience, NFL experience or 259 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: NFL experience at center, because Bozeman doesn't have any NFL 260 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: experience at center, very limited, right, Yeah, practice snaps, which 261 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 1: is I think he's experience as a player NFL player. 262 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: McCarry's got experience too. Like I'm not sitting here saying 263 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,719 Speaker 1: McCarry can't do it. And if you go into next 264 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: season with him as your starting center. I think you're okay. 265 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: I don't think that like you're you're sound of the 266 00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: alarms because he played pretty well. But we all were 267 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: saying that Screwer played pretty well, and he and he did, 268 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, the snapping issue start, 269 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: and it's just a question of how much stock you 270 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 1: put into that. You know, screw has them for a game, 271 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden becomes multiple games and 272 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: now you've got an issue. Are the snap is going 273 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: to be an issue from McCarry, I don't know. They 274 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: were in the playoffs, and so if you have a 275 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: chance to upgrade there, and again it's not like he 276 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: was the A plus center except for a couple of 277 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: bad snaps in one game, he's been a fine center. 278 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: He's been a fine center. So again, if you could 279 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: get somebody, if Bozeman would be an upgrade there, and 280 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: then you could get a really good guard in the draft, 281 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: I think that that would be something you should got 282 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: to consider. He just went from he's solid to fine 283 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: in the same conversation. That's the same, that's the same. 284 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: You say, that's anonymous. I think I think what we're 285 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: saying here is you know, do you draft a center 286 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: or a guard, and it really depends on where they 287 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: fall on the ord who's available. You know, yes, I agree, 288 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: I could see it going either way. What I like 289 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: about center is that you don't have to move Bozeman 290 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: from a position where he's already been really good. What 291 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: you like about drafting a guard is that now you 292 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: have a more experienced player in Bozeman instead of a 293 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: rookie starting at center. So you know, whatever whichever way 294 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: you think is the best avenue. I don't think the 295 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: Ravens are done making moves on the offensive line. I 296 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: do not think that they're going to spend big money 297 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: on a center after signing Kevin Zeitler. I can say 298 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: that much like the people that are saying, you know, 299 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: Lindsley from Green Bay, I don't think that's happening. Um, 300 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: there's the guy from New England. What's his name, Andrews 301 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: or something like that. Uh, yeah, I don't think they're 302 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: gonna make another big move there. The other the other thing, yeah, 303 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: the other thing on the offensive line that I just 304 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: wanted to mention, in terms of the draft you could 305 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: draft to tackle, I'm like, I don't necessarily know that. 306 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 1: It's if the Ravens trade Orlando that Tyree Phillips is 307 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: locked in as a tackle. Could you put Phillips left 308 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: guard and then drafted tackle? Yeah, why not? I think 309 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: that's the potential, right, There's certainly potential for them to 310 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: draft to tackle with. You know, if they were to 311 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: trade Ortlantic for a first round pick, let's say, you know, 312 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: to use that on the tackle, absolutely, right, So then 313 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: think about us on the center. Yeah, but think about 314 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: that line. If you go Stanley first round or sorry Stanley, 315 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: Tyree Phillips, Boseman Zeitler, and then first round pick tackle, 316 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: it sounds pretty good and big. That is a big 317 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: offensive line if you if you have the interior as 318 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: you know, I like the big offensive line, and and 319 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: so do the Ravens. If you have Tyree Phillips, Bozeman 320 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: Zeitler along your the interior line, those are three big 321 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: boys right there. Yeah. I mean I I kind of 322 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,239 Speaker 1: like Tyree Phillips that guard as opposed to tackle long term, 323 00:16:58,320 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: I will agree. I don't, I don't. I don't know 324 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: that Tyree Phillips is my ideal long term solution at 325 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: right tackle. You know, I think I think also the 326 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 1: Ravens could opt to sign a veteran you know, right 327 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: tackle who gets cut. We've talked about Rick Wagner. If 328 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 1: that would make some sense, you know, at the right price. 329 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: I think that they could bring in somebody there. They 330 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,239 Speaker 1: brought in Fluker last year, right who was like, you know, 331 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 1: he started games at right tackle. Um, they could make 332 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 1: another move similar to that, I think at right tackle 333 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 1: if Orlando were to get traded. Mm hmmm. Yeah. So 334 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: now that the Ravens had added Zeitler, what else is 335 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: on the docket here? Not like it's a huge cap hit, um, 336 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,919 Speaker 1: but it definitely takes a big piece out of the 337 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: available pie here again recorded million dollars over three years. 338 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: So so what else are they gonna have money you 339 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: know to do here? You're still you're still waiting for 340 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: that big time wide receiver setting. You wait, still waiting 341 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 1: for Kenny Golladay get They're still gonna have kind of 342 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: Kenya coming down, I don't think. So. I mean, here's 343 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,719 Speaker 1: the thing, and I'm going to write about this this 344 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 1: week in my new column that's coming out this week 345 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 1: called What Mink Thinks. Thank you John Harball for the inspiration. UM, 346 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: Uh but anyway, here's here's what I think the play 347 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,199 Speaker 1: is for the Ravens. Right, Like, obviously Matthew Judognani and 348 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: Gokway are both heading to the market. Would not surprise 349 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 1: me if both of those guys signed elsewhere. Uh, you know, 350 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: the Ravens could also lose you know, Willie Snead could 351 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: sign somewhere else. Potentially Taias Bowser could sign somewhere else. Uh, 352 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: you know they're gonna they're gonna lose some free agents 353 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: this offseason. My missing anybody who else is the understricted 354 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: guy who might sign somewhere else. I don't think. Well, 355 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: there's still you still have Derek Wolfe who's hanging out there, 356 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 1: which I felt like Wolf would be back, but and 357 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 1: Dicasta indicated that he would be back, but there's been 358 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: nothing yet, So that one surprises me a little bit. 359 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 1: He Yeah, well it might be. You know, Wolf wanted 360 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 1: more money than the Ravens thought they wanted to pay 361 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 1: him and say say, all right, go out and see 362 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: if you can get on the market. If you can, 363 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: good for you, and if you can't, we'd love to 364 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: have it back. Um. So you know, I think that 365 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 1: the Ravens are gonna let these guys hit the market 366 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: and see what what price they get, and and would 367 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: the Ravens love to have Matthew Judon come back at 368 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: the right price, Yes, absolutely, same with the unic you know, 369 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 1: same with Wolf. Like I'm saying, like all these guys 370 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: their own guys. If if I think that's certainly one 371 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: plan is they come back at the right number and 372 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: we'll bring him well, we'll keep them, right. But I 373 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: think that another strong possibility that is brewing here is 374 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: that the Ravens really maximize the compensatory pick formula for 375 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,719 Speaker 1: next year. And let's think about it. If you Unique 376 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 1: and Judon both signed elsewhere, that's potentially two third round 377 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 1: compics at worst fourth round for one of them, right, 378 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: because it's all for next year and all that stuff 379 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: in addition to the third round compic that they already 380 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 1: have for David Coley going to the Houston, Texas exactly. 381 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: So you're talking about a huge haul of comp pics 382 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: for next year, like multiple third round picks, right, which 383 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 1: is really I think important for the Ravens to stockpile 384 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 1: draft picks moving forward, because once you pay Lamar, he's 385 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: gonna eat up a bigger slice of the pie you need. 386 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: You need cheap, good young players around him that aren't 387 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: eating up much pie to make up for him, right, 388 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:32,199 Speaker 1: because he's gobbling it up, and so you just you stockpile, like, 389 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: give me some more third round picks that I can 390 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: use to get a Mark Andrews, to get another Orlando Brown, Right, 391 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,199 Speaker 1: Like these third round picks you turned out to be 392 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: pro bowlers and at a bargain price. That's how the 393 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: Ravens can have sustained success even when Lamar Jackson is 394 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: on his second contract, is you have a lot of 395 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: draft picks and a lot of good picks. You still 396 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: have to hit him. You still gotta hit him, but 397 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: you have to have the ammunition to put that team 398 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 1: around Lamar Jackson. And I think that a great way 399 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: of doing that for a team that already loves Compics 400 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: and a general manager who loves Compics, is to to 401 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 1: let some of these guys walk potentially and only sign 402 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 1: guys who are cut by other teams that don't affect 403 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: the COMPIC. So that's why, like we talk about, all 404 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,239 Speaker 1: these unrestricted free agents, would not surprise me at all 405 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: if the Ravens don't sign any of them. Don't don't 406 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: sign a single guy who's an unrestricted free agent until, 407 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 1: you know, unless they were cut, and that's how they 408 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 1: became an unrestricted free agent. Well and and Zeitler is 409 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: a perfect example of that. He was cut by the 410 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 1: Giants exactly. So that's exactly the thing. So I'm sure 411 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: there's still gonna be additional players that do get cut 412 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: over the next forty eight hours. I don't necessarily I 413 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: think most of that has happened, but I don't think 414 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: that's necessarily done. Um. But yeah, like that, that's a 415 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: guy like an Emmanuel Sanders who was recently cut by 416 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: the Saints, rather than Kenny Holiday. I understand there's a 417 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: difference of the player too, but you know, you're looking 418 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,360 Speaker 1: at that as the avenue. I think it's a fair point. 419 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: I think it's a really when you think about roster building, 420 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: and that's one of the things that the Ravens do 421 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: when they have their annual summit and they get together 422 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: with with Harbaugh and Aussie and Dakasta and Steve Bashatti 423 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: and they and they talk about the plan for this 424 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 1: year and multiple years out. I mean they're talking salary 425 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: cap and roster building and just overall how you structure 426 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 1: a team, and that is a well thought out process 427 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: years in advance, and those are the types of conversations 428 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 1: that they have. I think that it's a good point. 429 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: I think that is, and especially this year in a 430 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: reduced salary cap. But kind of a double whammy, like 431 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: if you sign a big name unrestricted free agent this year, 432 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: then it eats up a huge amount of a cap 433 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: in a limited salary cap year, plus it takes away 434 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: a potential copic. So now you're kind of getting hit 435 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 1: on both ends of it. So if you wait, maybe 436 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: that's that's the best approach. It's it's certainly kind of 437 00:22:53,320 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 1: the thriftiest approach. Uh. Yeah, It's all about value. It's 438 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,120 Speaker 1: all about value. I mean, look look at this signing 439 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 1: with Zeitler, right, Like Joe Tuney was a guy that 440 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 1: we talked about a lot who's probably the top guard 441 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: on the market unrestricted. Right is Joe Tuney. And let's 442 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: say let's say Zeitler. You know at his cat figure 443 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: the reported deal is about seven million dollars, right, A 444 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: little over that, let's say Tuney signs for ten. Let's 445 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 1: say Tuney signs for ten, right, and and you're giving 446 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: up a third round draft pick, Like is Joe Tuney 447 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: were three million dollars per year? Is he three million 448 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: dollars per year better? Plus a third round draft pick? 449 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 1: So no, no, you know, and so like that, that's 450 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: what the Ravens do, and that's what makes them have 451 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: you know, extended success um and and plus another element 452 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: to this whole formula is that you have a richer 453 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 1: field of guys who are cut this year because of 454 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: the reduced salary cap, right, So so now you have 455 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: more options to even choose from than you do in 456 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: a usual year. So you know, there's reported interest in 457 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: Carlo's Dunlap, another player who was cut by the Seattle Seahawks, 458 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 1: who you know, according to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, 459 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: the Ravens are interested in as a as a pass rusher. 460 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: Like that's I think when we talk about what the 461 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 1: what is the next move? It could be a veteran 462 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,360 Speaker 1: pass rusher who was cut, who who comes in at 463 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: a decent price. I don't know what dun Lap is 464 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: going to be exactly, um, but I can't imagine he's 465 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: super expensive. So maybe it's something like that. I do 466 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: expect that they're going to sign Still a veteran pass 467 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 1: rusher at a good price, And and I think can 468 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 1: they cobbled together a wide receiver, a veteran wide receiver 469 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: at a good price, I'd be interested in that too. 470 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: That's what that to me, I think is the most 471 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 1: interesting question right now is is there a free agent 472 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 1: receiver who they're able to get still Um, I don't 473 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: know who that is, but that to me is like 474 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: the most intriguing question going through into free agency now 475 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: is because I think, and a lot of I agree 476 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 1: with a lot of the fact that a lot of 477 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: the Ravens current free agents could end up going elsewhere, 478 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 1: particularly a pass rusher. So maybe you get a barring 479 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 1: pass rusher. But I really think the way to address 480 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 1: that position is going to be in the draft, where 481 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: I think that's a veteran free agent that's the first 482 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: round pick. Yeah, it certainly could be a first round 483 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 1: pick or second round pick, or maybe they moved, could 484 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: be the Ravens and two first round picks anyway with 485 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 1: Orlando Um all all things that could play out. But 486 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 1: the receiver thing, to me is the most interesting question. Now, 487 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 1: Who is it? At what price? And now are they 488 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 1: Ravens able to make that happen? Yeah? I agree. Anyway, 489 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: we'll have a lot more to talk about this week. 490 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: Good conversation. Garrett on the offensive line here, really excited 491 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: about the report of Kevin Zeitler signing.
