1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: I'm fascinating to see which way they go. Because you 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: already have an offense that Scorn and Stillion points. You 3 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: could continue to add to that group, or you could say, hey, man, 4 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna be playing with the lead with this offense. 5 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: Let's get a defense that they can really hunt the quarterback. Yeah. 6 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: I'll think they moved Eric some master that we talked 7 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: about it so to be able to slide down and 8 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: get some extra picks in that second third round range, 9 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: which is a nice sweet spot for this draft. I 10 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 1: think that would be the more likely MO. If I 11 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:25,920 Speaker 1: was gonna rank him in order, I'd say boot back, 12 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: stand pat, and then I would say move up. What 13 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 1: do you think your final pick will be for the 14 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: Ravens in your last draft? I know what you have 15 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: and the rest of that Backfiel, there's some good players there, 16 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: but nobody on the level of DeAndre Swift. How would 17 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: you guys feel about that? If for the whole league 18 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: zigs they zagged and and took a running back. Welcome 19 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: Inced the lounge. We have another big time yes with 20 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: us today. Daniel JEREMYA from the NFL Network.

Just go ahead and jump into 37 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: the interview. Oh with Daniel Jeremiah. We are spoiled here 38 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: in Baltimore because we got you, we got Keeper, we 39 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: got we got everybody is Ravens. You know, Peter Schrager 40 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: is a Ravens guy, so we get the hook up 41 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: here and we are spoiled to have you. Now. First thing, 42 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 1: I know, where are you? Because this weather is looking nice? 43 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: Who you are? Yeah, I'm outside the house here, so 44 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: we've got some grass. You can see the fence in 45 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 1: the background that's been uh, that's been broken, so we 46 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: gotta get that fixed. But it's tyson sunny outside. So 47 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: I'm just outside on the patio here in the backyard. Uh. 48 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: Letting the kids have the house for a while here, 49 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: and they've had to be quiet with dad doing TV. 50 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 1: So I said, you know what, you guys take the house. 51 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: I'll go outside. Smart man. Smart man? Are you? I 52 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: don't know how you guys who are way busier than 53 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: us are getting any work done. Dude, it's uh, it's 54 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: I'm glad I got a chance to get a lot 55 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: of stuff done early, and with the pro days getting 56 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: canceled during that period of time where I would have 57 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: been traveling all over the place, I got a chance 58 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: to really kind of polish up the tape and and 59 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: get that done. So it's a good thing because now 60 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: it is just it seems like one show after another. 61 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,519 Speaker 1: There's nothing else really to talk about in the football world, 62 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: So we are, we're doubted on the draft and and 63 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: the rest of the networks as well. I mean, when 64 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: they would be covering baseball right now on the basketball playoffs, 65 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: this is the only show in town. It's the NFL Draft. 66 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: M hm. You talk about watching the tape. Eric Tacasa 67 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: made a point that this is going to be a 68 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: bit of an old school draft because you don't have 69 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: some of that other information, Like you don't have pro days, 70 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: you don't have visits are you as you're going through 71 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: this evaluation process finding yourself all right, I'm just gonna 72 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: have to watch more tape than ever. Yeah, I mean 73 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: it's interesting. I think I agree with Eric. You get 74 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: a chance to watch a lot more tape, and more 75 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: than even just watching the tape. It's not letting some 76 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: of these other numbers and factors kind of skew your evaluation. 77 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's you know, you watch plenty of tape, but 78 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: then you can get carried away with the workout one 79 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: way or the other, and that can influence you. Even 80 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: if you've watched you know, seven or eight games on 81 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: a player. So um, I think not having those to 82 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: kind of muck up the process, it keeps it about 83 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: as pure as it it's so as the as things 84 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: stand right now, I don't know if this is your 85 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: final mark. I'm guess you're probably gonna put out the 86 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: final final one, you know, within twenty four hours of 87 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: the draft. But as it stands right now, you have 88 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: the Ravens taking Wisconsin Zack barn at number twenty eight. 89 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: What is it that you like about him? Well, you 90 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: can get to the quarterback. I mean that's the first 91 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: and foremost what you're looking for if you're the Raven's 92 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: trying to get that pass rush cranked up a little bit. Uh. 93 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: He somebody has a versatility that I think Wink would 94 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: enjoy using. You can drop him in coverage, you can 95 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: play off the ball, play on the ball. It's a 96 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: really good blitzer. Um. He plays really hard. So to me, 97 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: there's some Raven characteristics to the way he plays the game. 98 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: But I think when you look at this team, I'm 99 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: I'm fascinating to see which way they go. Because you 100 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 1: already have an offense that's scoring a zillion points. You 101 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: can continue to add to that group, or you could say, 102 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: hey man, we're gonna be playing with the lead with 103 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: this offense. Let's get a defense that they can really 104 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: hunt the quarterback. Two guys that a lot of people 105 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: have talked about with the Ravens. Obviously it is Kenneth 106 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: Murray and Patrick Queen. You have him fifty in eighteen 107 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: in your top fifty right now, So I'm assuming you're 108 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: saying there's no snowballs chance in hell that they get 109 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: to the Ravens. Well, there's always a chance, you know, 110 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: there's always a this difference between you know, what you 111 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: think of a player and then how they come off 112 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: the board. So I wouldn't totally rule it out. I 113 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,799 Speaker 1: would think Kenneth Murray, even though I have Patrick Queen Overraham, 114 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: I think Kenneth Murray will probably be selected ahead of 115 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: Patrick Queen. So I think he'll he'll be a tough one. 116 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: I don't see him getting down there. Patrick Queen. There's 117 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: an opportunity, maybe some potential he could get there, But 118 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: I do think when it's all said on both those 119 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: guys more than likely, uh, they're off the board now. 120 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: Is is part of it that you know, I'm hearing 121 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: all this buzz that hey, inside linebacker maybe isn't as 122 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: valued as much in the today's NFL. Is that a 123 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 1: bunch of smoke or what I mean. We saw the 124 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: Steelers move up for Devin Bush last year and he 125 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: did pretty darn well. Does inside linebackers still carry the 126 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: same value you think in in drafting circles and scouting circles. Well, 127 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,919 Speaker 1: I've think it does for me. And that's partly because 128 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: of where I grew up. You know, when you grew 129 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: up in the NFL under Ray Lewis's era, Uh, you 130 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: know what an inside linebacker you can do and what 131 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: kind of impact you can have. And I still think 132 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 1: that's the case. I think when you look at the 133 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: teams you have to match up with in the postseason, 134 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 1: and you look at some of the tight ends you 135 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,119 Speaker 1: have to cover, you look at some of the backs 136 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: are gonna be out of the backfield. You better have 137 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: some speed and some range at that position and have 138 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 1: a playmaker. Maybe not in the sense that it used 139 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: to be where you had to be a downhill banger 140 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 1: and really kind of be a collision player, but athleticism there. 141 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: If you do not have athleticism with the linebacker position, 142 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: they will find you, they will exploit you, uh, and 143 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: you're gonna have a tough time hoisting the ultimate trophy, 144 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: So I do think there's still value there. I think 145 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: the people that kind of dismissed that, I think that's misguided. 146 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: Can can Zack Bonds step in inside and play next 147 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: to l J. Fort Potentially? I think he could. I 148 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: don't think that's something he would be able to do 149 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: right away. I think there'll be an adjustment, but he 150 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: has a role in in asking situations to rush off 151 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: the edge right away. So you know that goes back 152 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: to the way the Ravens have always done business. Take 153 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: the best player, put him in a position initially where 154 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: keep its simple form, let him do what he does best, 155 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: and then develop him, which they have with that great 156 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: coaching staff there to develop these players to be able 157 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: to do different things. And I think he could grow 158 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: into that role. I think it might be a little 159 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: bit of a tall ask year one um to be 160 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: in that spot. But like I said, we saw you 161 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: go back to Suggs, right, I think sex Suggs even 162 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: started a game and he was Rookie of the Year 163 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: back in the day. So finding that they'll have a 164 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: role for him that they'll find out how to use hm. 165 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: So if they go defense in the first round, that 166 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: probably means on Day two and they have a bunch 167 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: of picks that there's gonna be some. I would expect 168 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: receiver to be a position that they addressed at that point. 169 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: You've talked a lot about the track team around the marrow. 170 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: They did that last year with Hollywood. So who are 171 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: some of these day two track stars that they can 172 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: potentially add to this offense. I would love se kJ Hammler. 173 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: That would be fun. You talk about a track team. 174 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: He's legit for a two guy. Um, it didn't get 175 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: a chance to run. It's similar to Hollywood, you know 176 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: last year. But to me, I look at him and 177 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: you get him out there on the field, that would 178 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: be a lot of speed to be overwhelming. Um, it 179 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: would be a great pick for them. I think Jalen 180 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: Reagor is another one. He didn't run as fast as 181 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: we all anticipated. I think you ran the high full fours, 182 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: but definitely plays faster than that. And he's another one, 183 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: uh that can really really stretch the field and is 184 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: really physical with the ball in his hands as well. 185 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: So those would be a couple of guys would make 186 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: a lot of sense. And then I know he's not trustar, 187 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: but you know Brandon. I you, I don't know if 188 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: he would get that far. I don't think he will. 189 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: I'm higher on him than than most folks, but uh, 190 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: he's got speed and he's got toughness, and to me, 191 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 1: uh he's got some of that raven d n A 192 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: that I've seen rigor you know, posting or sending out 193 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: some of these videos to NFL teams of him running 194 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: allegedly for two twos and his you know pro day, 195 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: because these guys i'nna have actual pro days When you 196 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: see that, Like, do you buy that at this stage 197 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: when guys are trying to get out to NFL teams, Hey, 198 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: I actually, you know, here's my real measurables. So here's 199 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: my real speed. Uh No, I I just I don't 200 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: think there's any use to it, you know, like I 201 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: you can show me the stop Watch, but I haven't 202 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: been there to measure it to make sure that you're 203 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: running the full forty yards. Um. So you know, I 204 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: don't think teams put much stock in that. It's good 205 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: to see guys move around, but you're not gonna borrow 206 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: with time from somebody that was at a high school field. Uh, 207 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: you know, hand time and a player so I don't 208 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: put much stock into that at all. I'm you know, look, 209 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: it doesn't hurt just to take a shot if you're 210 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: the team and the agents, but I'd be very surprised 211 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: if a team put much weight in that. Well, just 212 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: so you guys know, I ran a four or three 213 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: five in my backyard the other day. That's official time, 214 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 1: you know, that's right, And that was the best thirty 215 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: yard dash that I've ever seen. You know, Daniel as 216 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: well as anybody. How Baltimore likes to build in the trenches. 217 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 1: You know, all these toys, they're fun and everybody wants 218 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: to have them. And and obviously with Lamar like we 219 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: want as many toys as we can get it. But 220 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 1: at the same time, Marcell Janda hangs up his cleats 221 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: and now you have a pretty big hole at right guard. 222 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: You know, how early do you think they address that position? 223 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: And are there some guys that you look at and 224 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: you say, oh, yeah, that looks like a Raven's offensive lineman. 225 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 1: Oh to me, if you watch hunt play who plays 226 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: tackle for the University to Louisiana which used to be 227 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: uh Louisiana Lafayette, I guess, but he is he is 228 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: to me, is that classic Raven type player. He is 229 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: a maller, he is physical. Um, he plays tackle. I 230 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,119 Speaker 1: think he'll kick inside the guard. Um, there are some similarities. 231 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: He's not as powerful as as Collecchi was coming out, 232 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: but there are some similarities with the way he plays. UM. 233 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: And that's somebody I think you probably go off in 234 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: the second round. So Robert Hunt from Louisiana would be 235 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: a great fit there. Um, if you were going to 236 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: take one in the in the first round, I think 237 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: it's probably a little bit early. Um, but you've got 238 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: a guy and Caesar Ruise from Michigan who could play 239 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: any of the three interior spots. Um. I think you 240 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: could start him at guarding be fine there, But that 241 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,199 Speaker 1: would be the only one I could see potentially going 242 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: in the first round. That would really kind of match 243 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: the way they play. You worked a lot with Eric obviously. 244 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: What do you think is is his best attribute when 245 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: it comes to the draft? Well, Eric's smart, I mean 246 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: that's the that's the best actual Yes, Uh, he is bright. 247 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,719 Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you. Growing up in California, I've 248 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 1: never heard of Colby College, but I can tell you 249 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: it's a good education. Eric has proven that. Uh so 250 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: he's uh now he's he knows how to move the 251 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: board around. So there's two parts of it, right. You 252 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: gotta be able to stack the players to understand how 253 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 1: you rank them. But then and Eric's had a lot 254 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 1: of experience kind of you know, being around AUSI and 255 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 1: then really developing his own style. But he's become you know, 256 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 1: he's got a reputation now around the league of somebody 257 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: that really knows how to manipulate the draft board. Um 258 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: to be able to move around, drop down, pick up 259 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: extra picks, use some picks, come back back up. It 260 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: seems like he always ends up on the plus side 261 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,079 Speaker 1: with what he's able to get accomplished there. So that so, 262 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: you know, that's a pretty good trade to have when 263 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 1: you're orchestrating a draft, is to understand the value around 264 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: the league and understand how you can move in either direction. Now, 265 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: do you think because of the unique circumstances of this 266 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: draft and doing it over video and all this business, 267 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: does that does that make it more difficult for general 268 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,719 Speaker 1: manners to trade while on the clock. Could that mean 269 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: less trades? I think that's the only thing people were 270 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: really concerned about um was the ability to get trades done. 271 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: I don't think it'll be a big deal. They'll have 272 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: people assigned to different teams and different phones, and you'll 273 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: be connected on Zoom or on whatever programming. It's a 274 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: Microsoft program that they're using a team viewer, but you'll 275 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: be able to uh, you know, to get that communicated 276 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 1: in the first round ten minutes a lot of time. 277 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: Most of those conversations take place before the draft as well, 278 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,439 Speaker 1: so you have a chance to say, hey, if our 279 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: guys there, we'd be willing to move up. If you 280 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: wanted to move back because you didn't like what was there, 281 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: you can kind of organize what that trade would look 282 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: like ahead of time. So uh, that's kind of what 283 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: I would imagine happening there with that first round, and 284 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: then after that, you know, you don't sit there and wait. 285 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: If you want to make a trade with somebody, you 286 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: get on the horn with them, you know, five six 287 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: picks ahead of time to try and get that stuff 288 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 1: ironed out. So we're doing all this talking about trades. 289 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,839 Speaker 1: What's more likely the Ravens pick at twenty eight or 290 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 1: they pick somewhere else, So most likely I would think 291 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: moving back, Yeah, I don't think they move. I think 292 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,839 Speaker 1: they definitely uh will look into moving. And Eric is 293 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: Eric a master at that. We talked about it, so 294 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: to be able to slide down get some extra picks 295 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: in that second third round range, which is a nice 296 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: sweet spot for this draft. I think that would be 297 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: the more likely move. If I was gonna rank him 298 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: in order, I'd say moved back, then I would stay 299 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: stand pat and then I would say move up, So 300 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: that that would be the order of what my expectations are. 301 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,719 Speaker 1: But maybe they surprise us. So you know Eric as 302 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: well as anybody. Do you get any information from him 303 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: around this time of the year. I mean, he's all 304 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: you know him, but he also is incredibly closed off 305 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: and holds information tightly. So when you send him a 306 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: text around this time, are you getting any inside tips 307 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: right now? No, I want to guess. To me, I 308 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 1: look at it like a game. Right So if I 309 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: if I'm in constant contact with with Eric, um, you know, 310 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: I don't want to say, oh I got you know, 311 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 1: I got some information. I know that group well and 312 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: how they operate, so I want to I want to 313 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: have a good fair shot at trying to guess what 314 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: they're gonna do and how they're gonna do it. I 315 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: don't want any help here. We want to we want 316 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: to try. No steroids. There's no steroids in this podcast. 317 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: It's gonna it's gonna suck all on its own. So 318 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: before we let you go, Daniel, what do you think 319 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: your final pick will be for the Ravens in your 320 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: last mock draft? What do you guys want it to be. 321 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: We're negotiate. Yeah, I keep going back and forth. Now 322 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: everybody's saying the linebackers will be gone. I'm thinking a 323 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: j Epinessa to me? To me, A lot of it 324 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: depends on what the Patriots do. Do the Patriots take Bond, 325 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: do they take one of those two into linebackers? Do 326 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: they take Epinessa? Like they seem to be in the 327 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: same boat as the Ravens in a lot of ways. Okay, 328 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: that's a great point. Um, I'm curious about this, and 329 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: I did this in one of the earlier mock drafts 330 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: and people lost their mind. But as much as this 331 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: team runs the football, and with mark Ingram is not young, 332 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: he's a great player, he's not young. I know what 333 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: you have in the rest of that backfield. There's some 334 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: good players there, but nobody on the level of DeAndre Swift. 335 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: How would you guys feel about that if they if 336 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: they kind of for the whole league zigs, they zag 337 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: and and took a running back. You know, we just 338 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: talked to Mark Ingram yesterday and he was I don't 339 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: want to well, he said he has four or five committee. Yeah, 340 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: he came from a place and he came from a 341 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: place in Orleans where they had a nice little one 342 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: two punch there. Um. So I don't know. I just 343 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: think they run the ball so well, and they run 344 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: it so much that where the rest of the league 345 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: might look at that and say, oh, this is not 346 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: the way the league's going, and you don't invest in 347 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: running backs. Uh, maybe maybe they do the opposite. You know, 348 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: Eric's on the cutting edge man, this whole trend that's 349 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 1: gone away from running backs. Maybe he's the first one 350 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: that goes back to running backs. He's a trend setter. 351 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: What is it about Swift that makes him special? He 352 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: can do everything and he's got big time juice, big 353 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: time burst. Um, he's just a complete player. So he's 354 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: tough to tackle. Man, He's runs load to the ground, 355 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: he can run through you he can run by you, 356 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: he can catch the ball out of the backfield, doing 357 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: a lot of different things. So he's the best back. 358 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: I think he's I think he's worth the top twenty pick. 359 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: He's one of the twenty best players in this draft. 360 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: But you know, look, we we all understand this has 361 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: been a one contract position for most guys now when 362 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: it's not valued as much around the league. So um, 363 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: that could cause somebody like him to fall to the 364 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: second round. But do I think he will be the 365 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: best available player when the Ravens around the clock. I 366 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: absolutely do. I think if you're gonna go through to 367 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: the board, who's the best football player, I think it'll 368 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: be him. Interesting all right, Well, we have a lot 369 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: to think about before we do our seven round max 370 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: for next week, and and fans can catch you on 371 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: NFL Network throughout the draft weekend, throughout everything leading up 372 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: to it. So you do a great job. We really 373 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 1: appreciate the time. Thanks so much to day. Appreciate you 374 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: guys to be good. Thanks, thanks you too well. Awesome 375 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: stuff from Daniel Jeremiah. I'll tell you what my mock is. 376 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,719 Speaker 1: My penciled in mock right now is spot on. Okay, 377 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna say it right now. No no, yeah, 378 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna you can say it. No, no, no, no, 379 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: you don't. I don't want you to say anything because 380 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take I think I'm gonna take Queen Reagor 381 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: and Hunt. Well. That's fine, that's fine. I'm taking. I'm 382 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 1: not I'm not settled on my first round pick. But 383 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: I'm taking kJ, Hambler and Hunt. That's happening, that's fine. 384 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: I also got I'm calling Thaddeus Moss tight end from LS. 385 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: You're calling him, that's fine. You can take your store. 386 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: I'll give you Chris to War. Uh yeah, I got some. 387 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,719 Speaker 1: So you like you like the Handler pick who he 388 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 1: talked about. I've obviously been talking about Reagor a lot. 389 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: I love Well, I love love Or, but I like 390 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: ham Handler a lot too. And he's been somebody that 391 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: I've been on for a little while. I just just 392 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: so we're all clear that on was penciled in before 393 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: DJ said anything. I just want everybody to know that's 394 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: not that's not a DJ rip off. He's He's been 395 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 1: really high on Handler throughout this process, um where Keiper, 396 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: for example, was a little bit lower. I think Keiper 397 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 1: still had handler handler going above the Ravens, like they 398 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: would have to move up to get handler with you 399 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 1: in the second round. You're saying, but yeah, yeah, but well, 400 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: I'm just saying he's a little bit he's a little 401 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: bit down on him because he had drops in college. 402 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 1: That's been an issue. Yeah, that's that's been a knock. Um, 403 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:42,120 Speaker 1: so so that's fine, you can go that route. Um It, 404 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: it's gonna be. I can't believe you've got your second 405 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 1: round done, but of course your first round is not. 406 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: So what's gonna happen is you're gonna decide on your 407 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: first round and then you're gonna blow it all up. 408 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: I also think's a lot of minkering going on the 409 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: first I also think that early on in this process, 410 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: I was really thinking that the Ravens could move up, 411 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: but I've changed on that and I think that the 412 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: move back is the more likely approach. And then all 413 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're in that territory of ruise like 414 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 1: Ayuk could Ayuk be there in the early thirties. Um, 415 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: if you move back from thirty five, if they move 416 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 1: back to thirty five, just blow it all up, because 417 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 1: then because then you know, like the lineman like you're 418 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: talking about the wide receivers, weren't play like our second 419 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: round picks are gonna get blown up at that because 420 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: then you have three second round picks. I mean, but potentially, 421 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: depending on what you would get to trade back there, um, 422 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: you could add to maybe ad another third round pick. Um, 423 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: you have to go back pretty far. But yeah, so, 424 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: but you can. But then you also you have all 425 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: these Day two picks. And then even if it's just say, 426 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: I think one of the fan questions we got a 427 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,120 Speaker 1: few weeks ago was about whether the Ravens could ultimately 428 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: end up with four second round picks, trade back in 429 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 1: the first and then put a package together for whatever 430 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: they got from trading back to then move get in 431 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: the second, and all of a sudden you end up 432 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:06,719 Speaker 1: with four second round picks, and then that would be sick. Yeah. Right. 433 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,199 Speaker 1: The Ravens right now have nine draft picks, and I 434 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: think they're gonna end up with more than that. I 435 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: think they're gonna end up with double digits by the 436 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: time draft weekends over. And to get to that point, 437 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: you're moving back at times, and probably in the first round. 438 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: I'm glad you finally listened to me, because it's it's 439 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 1: a move back, then to move up. It's to move 440 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 1: back and to move up. It's happening. Book it. Book 441 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: it right now. You're you're saying, you're saying it's a 442 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 1: move back to say thirty five, and then move up 443 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: to thirty three. Uh no, no, no, no, it's a 444 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: move back to thirty five. Make a pick right, then 445 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: move up from five or six. Yeah. Part of the 446 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 1: reason I always thought they could potentially move up in 447 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: the first round is when I was holding out hope 448 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: that one of the top three receivers could be more 449 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: in the twenties, you know. But but it's clear that 450 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: the top three receivers are gonna be gone by the 451 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: top fifteen. Um, and so you're not gonna have a 452 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:00,479 Speaker 1: chance to get one of those guy unless you were 453 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: to give up a time. So um, yeah, hey, I 454 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: think we're all on the same page here in terms 455 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: of speed at wide receiver and the bonuses. You know 456 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 1: who else agrees with us, Willie, Let's roll let's roll 457 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:18,120 Speaker 1: that clip. I mean, we definitely need another body in there. Um. 458 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: You know, it's it's gonna be, it's gonna be. You know, 459 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun. I'll say that much. We invite 460 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,199 Speaker 1: you know, competition, and uh, you know, at the end 461 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: of the day, were all trying to get better. We 462 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: all trying to you know, raise the level. Let's raise 463 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 1: the bar, so to speak with our team and trying 464 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: to get us better. So I know the guys upstairs 465 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: are gonna bring in the best guy, the best Ravens 466 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 1: guy that they can find in the draft. And even 467 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: if it's one or two, you know, we welcome guys 468 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 1: with open arms, like we did Marquis and Miles last 469 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 1: year and those guys turned out to be great players 470 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: for us. So I know we need receivers. We haven't 471 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 1: picked any picked any up in you know, free agency, 472 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: so I know the draft is gonna be big, um, 473 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 1: but I'm looking forward to it. You know, I love competition. 474 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 1: I think our whole room loves competition. So we invite 475 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 1: you know guys to come in. We're just gonna get 476 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,120 Speaker 1: better each and every day. I think one debate that 477 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: fans are having right now is what type of receiver 478 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: could work and what type of receiver the Ravens want. 479 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: So that Hollywood's a speed guy, you work the middle 480 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 1: of the field, you know, Boykin's a big bodied guy 481 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 1: who can also get out there and block a little bit. 482 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: So like when the Ravens add a receiver, what is 483 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: that prototypical type of receiver that they would want to add? 484 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 1: In your mind, that would be a perfect compliment to 485 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: what you already have in place, you know, I think 486 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: I think speed is definitely, you know, more that we need. Um. 487 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: I know they're trying to stretch the field this year 488 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: in open lanes for whom are throw into UM, I 489 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 1: know speed is you can't be speed, and then you know, 490 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: you can always use a big body guy. But we 491 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,199 Speaker 1: have guys like that Julil Scott, you know West. You know, 492 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: those guys just have they just have to prove themselves. 493 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: But if they were gonna bring in another guy, definitely, 494 00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: I definitely think they would go with speed. And then 495 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: you know, if they as a guy later in the 496 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: draft that they think that's some potential, that's big guy, 497 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: I would expect them to bring that into So you know, 498 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 1: you can get both the big and speed. But I 499 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 1: think speed is definitely what we might go for first. 500 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised. I'm with you on that. That's 501 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: the way I see it like I kind of look 502 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 1: at Kansas City. Do you look at them and see 503 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 1: what they did last year and it's like basically a 504 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: track team around the homes. Do you feel like that's 505 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 1: kind of I guess the model for what for what 506 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: we could do. It's definitely, you know, the base because 507 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: we have a we have a lot of concepts that 508 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: are similar to theirs um. But yeah, I mean, you 509 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 1: definitely want to stretch to feel with speed and you 510 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: can get guys underneath and you know, in the open space. 511 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: So you know, we'll we'll see what happens. You know, 512 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: I'm excited for it. I know it's gonna be interested 513 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: in the first day. People are gonna be you know, 514 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: you can't you never know. You never know, Eric Man, 515 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,479 Speaker 1: he'll trade back in the first round, get Lamaren Jackson, 516 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: So you never know what's gonna happen. Man, It's true. 517 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: See Willie, Willie's been listening to the pod. That's what's 518 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: going on here. Yeah, I mean, I think it's a 519 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: really interesting point that he makes, um, which is what 520 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: we've been saying, and a lot a lot of people 521 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: have been saying it. But to hear from a player 522 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 1: who's a receiver. A receiver on this team, obviously, it 523 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: carries a little bit of different weight. And so the 524 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: Ravens have him who can work the middle of the field. 525 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: They've got the big body and Boykin who's still got speed. 526 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: But you got you got your big body receiver. You 527 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: have your speed guy in Hollywood. But if you're gonna 528 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: add one element of that, like, what could you use 529 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 1: more of? And I think it, like we've been saying, 530 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 1: it is a speed and so that's why handler works. 531 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 1: That's why Raagor works. I works. Um, all of those 532 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: kind of che works because I think that like I 533 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,880 Speaker 1: think it's I think it's speed, but I think it's 534 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: yards after catch, which is something we've talked about a lot. 535 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: And and um, just the ability big playability, Yeah, kind 536 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 1: of to put pressure on a defense. Yeah, undefendable. That's right, 537 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: that's right. By the way, do you think of my 538 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: new Diggs? What do you think of the background? Well, 539 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: it's not new Digs. You just kind of change the 540 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 1: camera set up, right, Yeah, Well, yeah, whatever, you're just 541 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 1: trying to get points because you got the bunker in 542 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 1: the background. I really wish I had this for the 543 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: bunker draft. I see this. Do you see how much 544 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 1: apple sauce is on these shelves? Pizza? Yeah, that's down 545 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: here in the freezer. Down here. You see the cop 546 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: You see the cobwebs on the bicycle that. Hey, let's 547 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: do a couple of quick questions. Uh, this question and 548 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,719 Speaker 1: as always, you can email us at the lounge at 549 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: Ravens at NFL dot net. Seger sends you the question. 550 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,360 Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of the lounge and it's good 551 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 1: entertainment and great to listen to you during these uncertain times. 552 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: My draft question is, could you see the Ravens trading 553 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 1: up like the Steelers did last year for an inside 554 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: linebacker if they really favored either Queen or Murray? Uh? 555 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: Or maybe a scenario where one of them is gone 556 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: but they want to get the other one. Could they 557 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:53,679 Speaker 1: trade up to get one of those guys? So I 558 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 1: was just talking about the trade up for the receiver. 559 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: But do you see Queens off the board and Murray's 560 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: sitting there at twenty and the Ravens want to go 561 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: up and get him in front of the Patriots? Could 562 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 1: are the Patriots three? I don't have the full but whatever, 563 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just throwing out that number. Well, let 564 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 1: me let me just see, let me see I pull 565 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: it up. Yeah, the Patriots, look at that, Garrett, Patriots 566 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 1: there three? Um, I don't think so. I don't think 567 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 1: that they would make that kind of jump. Um, that 568 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: would be a six spot jump. What are you giving 569 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 1: up there, fourth rounder or something like that in the 570 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 1: first round. Um, So, I don't think so. No, I 571 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: don't think that they're desperate enough to get one of 572 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: those two guys that that that's the only that's the 573 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: missing puzzle piece that's gonna just take this team over 574 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,919 Speaker 1: the top. Great players, I like them a lot. I 575 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 1: think one of them could be there when the Ravens 576 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: pick at twenty eight. But I just I still have 577 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: a hard time seeing them make that kind of move. 578 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 1: Maybe they could go up like three spots, you know, 579 00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 1: something like that, like a small two spots something like 580 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: that to move up. But I just don't see giving 581 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 1: up a day. I don't see him giving up a 582 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,719 Speaker 1: day to pick to move up. I just don't. Yeah. Well, 583 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: like Jeremia just said, his expectation is trade back number one, 584 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: stay put number two, and then trade up number three. 585 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: In terms of that that situation, Um, so that's that's 586 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 1: I tend to agree. You know, it's just interesting if 587 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 1: the guys, if you only got to move up a 588 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 1: couple of picks, and that's clearly the guy that you want, 589 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: what's the if you're giving up a fourth round pick 590 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 1: or a fifth round pick. Um, I don't know that 591 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 1: like that would be if obviously depends on what the 592 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 1: grade is, but I guess I would be willing to 593 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,159 Speaker 1: do that if you're moving up a few If you're 594 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: moving up a few picks, just and you get your 595 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: starting linebacker for the next ten years. There there's all 596 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:56,239 Speaker 1: these guys suddenly signed ten year contracts the next ten years. Um, 597 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: all right, Hey, one more question before we go. This 598 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 1: one comes to a from Brazil. Oh nice, Big Trust 599 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: from Brazil is a subject line? Wait, big Trust or 600 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: Truss Big Truss. It's it's trust, but we'll go with Truss. Um. Well, 601 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: I don't know how to pronounce the name, but j 602 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: O A A uh ja. There you go. Um. Now, 603 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 1: I like the email, but he started with hey Ryan 604 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: and make so I'm nice. Let's be honest here. I'm 605 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: not a fan anymore. I'm one of the many international 606 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens fans. So it's so cool, even being so 607 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: far away that we feel like we're part of the flock. 608 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: Uh And he says, yeah, no Murder of Crows. So 609 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: do you have a top five Ravens plays from this decade? Um, 610 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: this is plays. This is a little tease. Um, We're 611 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: going to be rolling out a lot of top things 612 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: top because this is our twenty season that we're coming 613 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 1: up on. So between now on the start of the season, 614 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: you're gonna have a lot of different uh top you know, 615 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: look back content and on our website and all of 616 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: our social media platforms. So stay tuned because that's gonna 617 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: be a cool way to do that. So rather than 618 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: us going to full deep dive right now, um, I'm 619 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 1: just gonna tease that. But he also has a second question, 620 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: which is, could you see Tony Jefferson returning to the Ravens. 621 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: M I'll start real quick. I mean we all know 622 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: the Maha Miracle is gonna be number one, right, Yeah, 623 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: that's an easy one. Come on, that's slam dug um. Anyway, 624 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 1: Uh No, I don't think Tony Jefferson is gonna come 625 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: back to the Ravens. I think that uh the Ravens 626 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: have not only the two starters now in Earl Thomas 627 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: and Chuck Clark, they also have the Sean Elliott, who 628 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: I've been really high on. I wish that guy could 629 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: stay healthy. He's just had some bad breaks. I don't 630 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: think it's because whatever, he's not in shape or whatever. 631 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: I mean, just bad breaks. Um, but I'm excited about 632 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: his potential. So they also resigned Anthony Levine, so I 633 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: think that they have enough at safety. Mom Marshall could 634 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 1: even play safety potentially. We're talking about Jimmy Smith exactly. 635 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 1: So No, I don't think the Ravens need another safety 636 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: And I just hope that Tony lands somewhere, uh somewhere soon. 637 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: You know, because of all this coronavirus stuff going on, 638 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 1: it's been tough for players like him, and free agency 639 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: is really ground to a halt. Um. So, you know, 640 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 1: I think that Tony will land somewhere. It's just a 641 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: matter of when and what that situation is like for him. Yeah, 642 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 1: I'm with you on that. UM. So we appreciate the questions. UM. 643 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: As always, you guys can email us at the Latch 644 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: at Ravens dot NFL dot net and next week gets 645 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: Draft week.
