1
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: So we're gonna put out our seven round Ravens mock

00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: drafts next week. Will you take that into the draft

Speaker 1: I don't know, Jack, Welcome into the lounge. We are

8
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: less than a week out from the start of the

9
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: first round and I'm excited. Draft time is seriously one

10
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: of my favorite times the year. I think Draft time

11
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 1: is really exciting. This these two weeks that we've gone

12
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: through our wild under the radar, one of the most

13
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: busy times on the NFL calendar. We had the start

14
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: of the All she Doesn't Get issuing program, we had

15
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 1: the schedule release go out this week. Now it's all

16
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: looking forward to the draft like and Draft weekend is

17
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: one of the busiest weeks, maybe the busiest week of

18
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: the entire year. It's a it's an exciting time. Yeah,

19
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: and we have some cool stuff plan just for the

20
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: listeners beyond the podcast. Next week, we're gonna do our

21
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: full seven round mock draft but I'm gonna be in

22
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: Nashville for the draft next week. UM, we're gonna have

23
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: some footage from inside the draft room once the picks

24
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: are made. Um, we're really going to try to peel

25
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: back the curtain and take people places where they don't

26
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: get to go. So we've got some cool stuff planned

27
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: over the next week or here are you going to

28
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: leave the draft early this year? I have to run

29
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: back to interview our first Well, that's that's the question.

30
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: Do we end up trading out of the first round?

31
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,559
Speaker 1: And then I go down to one of the hockey

32
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: talks on Nasday. That's that's it, and then all some

33
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: we're back on the clock. I should I should have

34
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: mentioned this to Eric and Joel and make sure if

35
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna trade back in you let me know. Give

36
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: it you're gonna trade out of the first round, then

37
00:01:54,800 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: trade back into that disaster scenario you're gonna gonna oh god, Anyway,

38
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 1: We've got a good email here from Ryan Banbury. As always,

39
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: you can reach us at the lounge at Ravens dot

40
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: NFL dot net, and Ryan put together is seven round

41
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 1: mock draft. Uh and he says, I strongly believe we'll

42
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: trade down the first round and even or even out

43
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: into the second round, like we're talking about, to acquire

44
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: more picks. If that happens, look for us to pick

45
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: up guys like J. J R. Sakea Whiteside wide. You

46
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: see rout of Stanford. He's got a whole bunch of

47
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: names here. He's actually picking up some guys. He's got

48
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: Mack Wilson, the inside linebacker from Almam who I like

49
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: a lot. His compass C. J. Mosley, according to Landster line,

50
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense and old dominion pass rusher. Uh.

51
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: I don't even know how to pronounce this guy, Oshan

52
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: Zimnez I think or something like that. Who was another

53
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: guy I was really playing around with went with Jokai

54
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: play But any anyway, you can take him in your mock.

55
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: I'm giving you freebees here. Uh so Ryan's uh the

56
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: other Ryan's seven round mock. He's got Clellen Farrell in

57
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: round one out of Clemson, the Edge. It's weird like

58
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: Cleveland Ferrell. If we draft a guy, I just want

59
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: to make sure that you're you know, you don't start

60
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: on bad terms. Thank you that he has. Why you

61
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: see Riley Ridley out of Georgia and Ross Pierschen, backer

62
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: out of Alabama, center guard. Fourth round, Kemmeron Smith the

63
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: linebackerund us see who I've also gotten mine. I think

64
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: that's a good pick. I've gotten a little later. And

65
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: then Trayvon Williams from Texas A and M. We're not

66
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: gonna go through every single pick here, but those are

67
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: his early pick. Riley really is an interesting name. I

68
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: don't think we're taking Riley Ridley. You don't why is that?

69
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: Just just nothing about him really like stands out Caley's

70
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: younger brother for listeners they may not know. Uh, he

71
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: just like I mean athletically, like he doesn't put up

72
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: eye popping speed or not a super explosive guy like Calvin. Yeah. Um,

73
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: and he didn't have that big of production. So like

74
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: he runs good routes, catches the ball well. But it

75
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: the question, nothing really excites me that, yeah. The question.

76
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: The question though, is if you end up not taking receiver,

77
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: and we don't need to go deep dive back into this,

78
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: but if you end up not taking receiver in the

79
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: first round, you don't pick again until the third round.

80
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: The under guys off the board at that point and

81
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: probably at that point you're looking at eight receivers that

82
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: are gone. I like, I like, I like Ridley's teammate,

83
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: and Nicole Nicole Hardman Hardman better than I like. Riley

84
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: got you all right, He's got a little more speed,

85
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: a little more upside, I think too. All right, high ceiling.

86
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: All right, So let's discuss all this with our guests

87
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: this week, and that would be our director of college

88
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: scouting at Ortiz. All right, we're on the clock with

89
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: jortis twenty four minutes. We have twenty three minutes and

90
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: fifty six seconds left, so let's get this go. I

91
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: like me on a clock reference. Oh yeah, right there,

92
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: how about that? Yeah, I always butcher Dave Lang told

93
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: me that I was on for about seven minutes when

94
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: I crashed the pod, So I figured, since I had,

95
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: you know, you know, last week, we won't waste any

96
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: more time. So you guys have finished the big meetings

97
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: we talked about that last week on the teaser, that

98
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 1: you stop by and you still have another round of

99
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: meet before the board setting, like it's kind of a

100
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: final finalization meeting. Um go over the board one last

101
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: time with the full staff on both sides of the ball.

102
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: So well, one day. On Monday, we'll do the offense,

103
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: Tuesday will do the defense, and just kind of go

104
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 1: over it one last time. Um, you know what took

105
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: five days to cover all those players? Really, you know,

106
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: five full days and then six it we cover in

107
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: two days, and it's really just you know, okay, final placement.

108
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: This is where they're at, and we have a few

109
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: more reports to be read on some guys that Eric

110
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: and I have asked some coaches to do. And then

111
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: the scouts look at a few more guys. But in

112
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: terms of reports being read, very few, maybe twenty total

113
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: through the course of the two days. UM, so it's

114
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: more just a final discussion. Are those guys who like,

115
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: all right, we really think the East could be ravens,

116
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: let's do one final look and something Someone's like, hey,

117
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: you know maybe a guy that's that's risen through the process,

118
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: we want to just get another look at um, and

119
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: then other guys are like, hey, these guys could be

120
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 1: ravens and you know, let's see what do you guys

121
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: think about? So how much time since the last round

122
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: of meetings in these next round of meetings? Uh, do

123
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: coaches spend their time coming to you and lobbying for

124
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: certain players at certain positions. UM, very little at all.

125
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: It's very little. As a matter of fact, I have

126
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: not seen this week. There's not been one offensive coach

127
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: down my hallway in my door, and there has I

128
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: don't I think I've seen one defensive coach the whole time.

129
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: And we didn't even come in talking about player like

130
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: you know. So the lobbying or the discussion was made

131
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: last round, and uh, they're going to tighten up their rankings.

132
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: That's what they're doing this week. They're kind of doing

133
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: it as a staff each side of the ball. Uh,

134
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: they tighten up their rankings, their preferred list, and the

135
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: scouts obviously are tightening up their preferred lists. And he's

136
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: just kind of going to this last round and talk

137
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: through it and get the board ready and then wait

138
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: for Thursday to begin. How close to those lists match

139
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: each other? Like if you said, if you put out

140
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: your top one hundred, let's say, and then Wink we're

141
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: to put out his top one hundred, would his top

142
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: one hundred be loaded with edge rushers, inside linebackers. Well,

143
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,679
Speaker 1: winks list is going to be I give Wink basically

144
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: the top players at all positions so okay, So he's

145
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: going to have corners and safeties mixed in there, and

146
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna have he he wink, respects the process. So

147
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: he if he feels like a corner is the best

148
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: player on our board, he's going to put him number

149
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: one because he understands. Let's let's rank the players and

150
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: then we'll let need break the ties. But we try

151
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: to get the players. The most important thing is get

152
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: the players in the right spot on the board, and

153
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: then withdraw on the you know, a couple of spots,

154
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: all guys are in the same spot, then then need

155
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: can play a factor in terms of breaking a tie.

156
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: So you could literally spend twenty four hours a day

157
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: for the next week diving into this stuff, watching one

158
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: more tape, like looking at one more report. Do you

159
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: ever have to just tell yourself, like, all right, I've

160
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: been working on this for a year. It's kind of

161
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: like I kind of equated to a player or a

162
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: coach going into a game on a Sunday, Like you

163
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: could look at one more piece of film at the

164
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: end of the day, you have to just call it quick. Yeah, no,

165
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: I think you do. You can do, You can over analyze,

166
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: could spend your do so much that you're just like, ash,

167
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: I don't know who I like better? You know, so

168
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: like I've just watched so much of them, I just

169
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 1: watched them again. But you know, um there you can

170
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: definitely buzz spend an hour and a half two hours

171
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: on three guys just watching the p o A. You've

172
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: already graded the film, You've already done you know, the

173
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: background north, so you can sit there and say, okay,

174
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: let me get one more low and with these three guys,

175
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: which one do I like best? You know? Just you know,

176
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: when you're breaking up clumps of a position, you know, um,

177
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: so you can always do that. But yeah, if you

178
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: just you can't do too much, you know, or not,

179
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: you can get to the point where you're not gaining

180
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: any of you know, so you're just spinning your wheels.

181
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: So um, and I just think you trust the process.

182
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: The coaches have have strong opinions in there and good opinions,

183
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: and they and they talk about how guys fit. Um,

184
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: the scouts understand how players fit our offense and defense.

185
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: And uh so you trust the scouts and trust the

186
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: coaches based on their emails and then obviously your own

187
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: and you know, and Eric and obviously and and we

188
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: all make this. We're we're able to set the board

189
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: based on that. You know, you trust the collective group,

190
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: and it's worked for a long time. And uh, I

191
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: think everyone there's really a good chemistry between the staff,

192
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: coaching staff and personnel staff in terms of knowing what

193
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: we value as personnel guys, and knowing what the coaches

194
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: need and value for our offense some defense. All right,

195
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: So let's just look specifically this year's draft. When I

196
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: look at it, the vibe that I get based on

197
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: the you know, maybe it's smoked signals. I don't know

198
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: what to believe from you guys this time of year,

199
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: but the vibe that I get is the smoke screen.

200
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: That's like that's like yeah, but but I get the

201
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: sense that you guys are going to be very active

202
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: in terms of trading and maneuvering. And I also feel

203
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: like that fits Eric in terms of what he likes

204
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: to do in terms of kind of playing the game.

205
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: So what do you think about that? Is that going

206
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: to be the case. There's no way to predict it, Honestly,

207
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: there really isn't there. I mean, last year, I think

208
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: Eric mentioned it in the press conference we had to

209
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: basically tell people know we're done trading, like we I mean,

210
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: it was great last year. It was unbelievable how many

211
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: trade opportunities we have. I mean, obviously we had two

212
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: in the first round, but we had and then we

213
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: traded again in the third round. And then we're sitting there,

214
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: people are calling us, offering us picks, you know, to

215
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: do you want to move back, and we're like, we

216
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: don't think we have enough guys on the board if

217
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: we have fired more picks, you know, like we're already

218
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: we're already getting thinned out, you know. So um, But

219
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: then there's been years when we sat there and wanted

220
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: to trade and the phone never rings. So you really

221
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: won't know until a draft day and you really won't

222
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: and you really won't know until that you're you're getting

223
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: close to the clock, you know, two three picks away.

224
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: Someone may call you say, hey, we're interesting moving up

225
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 1: and you're like, okay, what are you offering? And if

226
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: it sounds good, yeah, we're interested, And you've got enough

227
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: guys left on your list that hey, we got a

228
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: handful of guys that we could pick here and move

229
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: back for spots and hopefully someone were still there. But

230
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 1: while they're calling you, they're calling the team ahead of

231
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: you and the team ahead of them. So which has

232
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 1: happened many years. Um, We've had a phone call from

233
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: a team that wanted to come up from the bottom

234
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: of the first round, and we said, yeah, we'd be interested,

235
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: and then they traded two teams ahead of us. You know,

236
00:11:58,400 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 1: they were still you know, because they were trying to

237
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: get up as high as they can, you know. So, um,

238
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: the part of it, you know, they may be worried

239
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: that we're we'll move to pick to someone else who

240
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: takes the guy they want. Um, yeah, so you know,

241
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: are you always willing to move Sure, if if there's

242
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: plenty of players there. But in the same token, if

243
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: you're sitting if your list is getting thinned out and

244
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: you're sitting there getting close to being on the clock

245
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: and you don't have a lot of names left of

246
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: like your guys that really want, it's hard to it's

247
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: hard to move back, you know. Yeah, And I think

248
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: it seems like it often depends on positions that are left,

249
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: Like teams like will come up for a quarterback. Obviously

250
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: that's a popular one. So how far do those quarterbacks

251
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: even a tackle like some of those glamour positions. It

252
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,239
Speaker 1: depends if if those kind of players are there, like quarterbacks,

253
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: pass rushers exactly. People aren't really going to trade up

254
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: for a defensive tackle very often. But that kind of

255
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: works to our advantage in terms of facilitating facilitating a

256
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: trade because we don't need a quarterback. We don't really

257
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: need to tackle that bad, a starting tackle. We don't

258
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 1: need a starting corner that that bad. So like if

259
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: we're on the board and those are the positions of need,

260
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: we it's not like whatever and our needs a wide

261
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: receiver let's say, or inside linebacker, edge rusher would be

262
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: the one, but like we would want to take the potentially,

263
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But if it's a corner

264
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 1: sitting there or a quarterback especially, yeah, you say that,

265
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: but I've we've we've all been here. When we've started

266
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: August one or July or whatever, our corners look good

267
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: and by the end of training camp like, oh my god,

268
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: we have no corners. Yeah, well that's why. That's like,

269
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: I mean the same thing with tackles. I mean, yeah,

270
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: we got two really good ones, but you know, if

271
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: you get a chance to add a tackle, there's some

272
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: good ones, right, like one of Dexter Lawrence or one

273
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: of those guys maybe play guard or yeah, defense, right,

274
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: we have too good we have two good defensive. We

275
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: got too good offense. True, but if you get a

276
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: chance out and those are premium positions, so everything's you know,

277
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: it's not a premium session, Joe, pull back unless you

278
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: so now, but it's yeah, that's a that's a position

279
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: that I wouldn't say people are trading but now. But yeah,

280
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: I mean it's so hard to predict. You know, there's

281
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: years where you're like, oh, yeah, we'd love to trade.

282
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: You know, we have eight picks this year, so um,

283
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: we feel like we can do some damage if you

284
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: can get a chance to move back and gain some

285
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: quality picks, um and still get a good player. You like,

286
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: it's always an option. But you know, like I said,

287
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: if that list is thin and out, it makes it

288
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: a harder decision to make. So let's talk a wide

289
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: receiver because we have to. I'm gonna go in on it. Yeah,

290
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: we've had this discussion of the passcal the podcast between

291
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: the two of us. So it seems maybe this year

292
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: is not unique. You it always feels like every year

293
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: is unique when you're in that year, you're like, whoa

294
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: this is I've never seen this before, but it definitely happened.

295
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: But it seems like at wide receiver, like there's not

296
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: a consensus, you know, like DK Metcalf after the combine

297
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: skyrocket up and everybody's like, oh, he's gonna be a

298
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: top fift consensus, you know, and now he's come back down,

299
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: he's trap back down and and now like now it's

300
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: it really seems like, and we wrote this, it's like

301
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: pick your flavor, right, Like, everybody's gonna have a different

302
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: guy that they like. Do you get that sense that

303
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: teams are just gonna be like I like this guy? Absolutely? Absolutely,

304
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: I mean, and that's the thing. There's different offensive schemes,

305
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: so there's receivers that are gonna fit one scheme versus another. UM,

306
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: and their boards try to reflect that. You know, our

307
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: board reflects what we want and other boards reflect what

308
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: they like they like, and it's probably two different looks UM.

309
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: And then you have some boards are probably just right

310
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: there in the middle. UM. But yeah, there is it's

311
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: hard to get a consensus. And really for most positions,

312
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: obviously why out is the one because there's so many

313
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: drafted every year, it's really difficult to get a consensus

314
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: unless you have an A. J. Green and Julio Jones

315
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: coming out, which most years you don't have. And you

316
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: go back to the year Corey Davis went fifth, I believe, raw,

317
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: Mike Williams I think went seven. Before the draft, people

318
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: are like, oh, they'll be there, You'll be the Ravens

319
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: will pick the first wine out off the board like that.

320
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: That was the thought. Three one before we got at

321
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: least like one of them would be there, and them

322
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: three one before we pick, so it's like three top ten.

323
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: That was crazy. So like, you just don't know, like

324
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: you know, and I think that this draft is one

325
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: of those drafts where you just don't know where guys

326
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: will go. You know, if somebody, if somebody does that

327
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: DK in their top ten and he goes in the

328
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: top ten, well then that could push everyone else up,

329
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: you know, A yeah, so um, So you just don't know.

330
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: You really don't. It's so hard to predict. And I

331
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: think it goes for a lot of positions in this

332
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: year's draft. So I'm curious, though I know you're not

333
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: obviously gonna tell us who you like the receiver specifically,

334
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: but there is so much variation, Like make talk about

335
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: in terms of what media people think they're the best receivers.

336
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: But on your guys, do you have a clear idea

337
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: of like this is our top two guys, Like is

338
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: there kind of like the clear consensus you went through

339
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: this process of like these are the two guys that

340
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: we really like that we stack the board. Yeah, I

341
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: mean we have our top two receivers. And but in

342
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: saying that we have our top two corners and were

343
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: to different it's it's every year is the same while

344
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: it's unique. It's every years the saying you have your

345
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: top two receivers, you have your top two tackles, but

346
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: you also have guys below them that you really like,

347
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: you know, and hey, if we don't get them, this

348
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: guy would be a good pick in the second round.

349
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: This guy would be a good pick in the third round.

350
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: This would be a great pick at the start of

351
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: the third day. You know, you know, you find the value.

352
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 1: The goal is to find the value in every player.

353
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 1: You know, it's there's something's there's a lot of things

354
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: because you know a lot of guys have something they

355
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,719
Speaker 1: can't do. And our goal is to find out the

356
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: things that he can do for the Baltimore Ravens, what

357
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 1: he can do, how he can help us, and put

358
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: him on the spot of the board will revalue that. Yeah,

359
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: edge drusher obviously another big important position clone and Farrell

360
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: seems like a guy that's getting a lot of buzz

361
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: with the Ravens. Daniel Jeremiah had him in his latest

362
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 1: mock draft. What's your opinion of him? Not saying how

363
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: much do you guys love him or not, but it

364
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: seems he seems like and Dan wrote this, he seems

365
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: like he fits Ravens because a highly productive guy. We

366
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: like that in our pass rushers like Judean right, you know,

367
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: set a record, uh and playing on a really good defense.

368
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 1: What do you guys think of him? He's a complier.

369
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no doubt and he's in there in

370
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: the mix with a bunch of other good pass rushers,

371
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: you know what. And but um going into Clemson, they

372
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: have a talented defense and that there are a lot

373
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: of fun to watch and it's just a great program.

374
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: They've done a phenomenal job Dabbo has done and his

375
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: staff have done an awesome job down there. And not

376
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: just from one of the talent they've acquired. Two the

377
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: kids they've acquired, They've got a bunch of really good

378
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 1: kids that love ball, very coachable, good team were any kids.

379
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: And then their facilities phenomenal. So it's hard to walk

380
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: into Clemson and not like some people and uh, it's

381
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 1: just because there's talent, they're they're great kids. And then

382
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: the facility is phenomenal. I mean it's the best in

383
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: the country. Um. So you know to the point where

384
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: I was walking when I was there this year, I

385
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: was there late at night and I grabbed my phone

386
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: out and I was FaceTime and my kids, and my

387
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 1: six year old Julian asked me, Daddy, can I play

388
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,959
Speaker 1: football Clemson and not for the Ravens. Do I have

389
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: to play for the right? I don't know, but you

390
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: can play Clemson first. Julie's all in, Yeah, you know,

391
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: he's Julian's going to Clemson and mainly because I showed

392
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: him Clemson's cool. They have a slide, a literal legit

393
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: metal slide that goes from the second floor. The players

394
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: can leave meeting rooms and fly down that slide. I've

395
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 1: gone down it twice and you haul down. It's like

396
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: you know, it's like Chevy Chase in in uh Christmas

397
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: Vacation and he gets on the whipping down that thing.

398
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: Um so he So I actually went down the slide

399
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: on FaceTime. Hey thought it was the coolest thing. And

400
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 1: you go, you go outside right to the weight room.

401
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 1: So it's great. Players right into the players get down

402
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 1: their meetings and go right down to the entrance to

403
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: the weight room, walk in the weight room and get

404
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: a lift in. So it's really cool. Uh, they got

405
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: sleeping rooms everything. They they they're ahead of the game.

406
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's a really neat place. So if

407
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: you don't take it, sorry an edge rusher in the

408
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: first round. Do you feel good about the guys that

409
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: you could get later on the draft in terms of

410
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: them being immediate impact? Yeah, I think so. I mean

411
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: you like to think guys can come and impact you

412
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: right away. Um, that would be the hope in any

413
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: player we take really from really the first four rounds.

414
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: You'd like to see a guy be able to impact you.

415
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: But if you look at last year's draft with Bows

416
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: impacting us in the sixth round and so, um yeah,

417
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 1: hey guess that words undrafted. So every guy you you

418
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: you make a raven. You hope that they can make

419
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: an impact for you. Um, but you also understand that, hey,

420
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: there's guys here that are coming back hoping to make

421
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: an impact and keep that rookie on the bench. You know,

422
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: I know Tius and Tim they have a great opportunity

423
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: this year. So we take an age Dresher. They're they're

424
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: they're coming in out, they're coming out here and there

425
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: their goals and not let that guy see the field.

426
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: So um, and if that happens, that's a great thing

427
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: because that means those guys have taken the big step

428
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: and helping us out offensive line. I think there's a

429
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: prevailing thought that at center, it's like if you take

430
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: the top center, all right, it's it's a plug and

431
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: play guy for the next ten years. You know, like

432
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: you can get the top center in college football. Uh,

433
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: late in the first round. Do you value that as

434
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: as a position that's a unique this year because there's

435
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 1: a lot of good ones and be where you can

436
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: find some really good value. Uh yeah, you know, I

437
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't call unique. Last year was Billy Price, right, he

438
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 1: went pretty high, he went in his first round, and

439
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: then but Laton Yeah, so yeah, I mean, you can

440
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: definitely there's guys that are valued at starting centers in

441
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 1: in this draft, and uh, you know, but you can

442
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: get a starting center's free agent mats girl, you know so, Um,

443
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: I think that's a position where you get I mean,

444
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: you look at Ryan Jensen. I know it it was

445
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: until his fourth year, fifth year really because you're thumb

446
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: practic squad one year. But that's a position where guys

447
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: develop into starters or guys come in and being impact

448
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 1: a one starter. But that's a position where you can definitely,

449
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: offensive line in general, you can you can find some

450
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: starters later in the draft because you're just looking for big, tough,

451
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: smart football players. They get the game and know how

452
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: to know how to play the game. Uh in some

453
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: linebacker to Devons are the kind of the guys that

454
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: right there at the top of that list. Eric said

455
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 1: back after the pre Jects pre draft press that he

456
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: thought both of them would probably be gone before we're

457
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: on the clock. Do you still think that's gonna be

458
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: the case. And if one of those guys is there,

459
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,479
Speaker 1: I mean, is that a pretty tough guy to pass up?

460
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: They're both cinently guys and in terms of passing them up,

461
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: It just depends if because there's other guys we have

462
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 1: above the Devons, you know, and I'll tell you, I'll

463
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: tell you everyone right now we have Devon higher than Devon,

464
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: just so I'll get and tip our hands. We have

465
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: so for those of you wondered. But no, yeah, they're

466
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: both talented players. You know, could I see them being there?

467
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: Probably not, just based on if you just look at

468
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: the mocks, you know, and the buzz. But um, if

469
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: they are there and they're the highest guy on our board,

470
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 1: then they'll be a raven. If there's a guy above them,

471
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 1: there won't be. So when we Garrett, I will put

472
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 1: out our seven round muck draft and I'll say that,

473
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: I'll say this, the two guys we got coming back

474
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: we're excited about. All right. They played good They played

475
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: good football. Chris will be interesting played good football force

476
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: last year. And and you know, you look at the

477
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: production and Canny being a rookie and Crisp being a

478
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: rookie free agent, and then Peanut has really developed a

479
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: play maker force. I mean the playmaker you talk about

480
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: some impact plays that really turned our season. You know,

481
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: one game in the Charger if he does he knows

482
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: what happened. I mean, so he's made some really dynamic

483
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: place and so you just okay, think about the jump

484
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: he's made each year, Well, I expect another jump to happen.

485
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: So in the same thing with Kenny, I think he's

486
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna make another jumps. Um and Chris. So

487
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: we're excited about the guys we have here, and the

488
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: coaching staffs excited. So um, you know, we feel good

489
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 1: about those two guys. Those three guys work in the

490
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: middle of the field force. So so we're gonna put

491
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: out our seven round Ravens mock drafts next week. How

492
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: much will you take that into the draft room with

493
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: you on Thursday, Friday and at and closely follow You're like,

494
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: we're on the border here, but don't you make things

495
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: to make is make this is makeing. You know, we'll

496
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: take it all in. You know, you know we'll be

497
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: in there. I mean, you know, when when's it coming out?

498
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: When you gotta give it to us? I think probably Tuesday,

499
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,239
Speaker 1: Wednesday something, all right? So I mean if you if

500
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: we had it before the meetings and then I talked

501
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 1: about what we got to put it out earlier, we

502
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: can't you know, I won't be able to use that

503
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: in our meetings early next week, but yeah, definitely we'll

504
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: be in there on the draft, you know, the draft day,

505
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: saying wait a minute, make things we should go this direction.

506
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 1: Do you order, like in reality, like pull out a

507
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: mock draft from some of the more prominent guys, probable

508
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: people that are like us, say like this is who

509
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,719
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah thinks, this is who mel kiper This mayok.

510
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: Unfortunately he was like one of the more reliable guys.

511
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: But I don't think he's gonna put out a monster's

512
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: probably not. Like sure, he's made his own. But yeah,

513
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: do you ever like look at those and say, all right,

514
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: these guys, we know they're talking to a lot of people.

515
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: Maybe this does hold some weight. Yeah. They So what

516
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: they do is they do try to talk to a

517
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: lot of people, um, and they just kind of get

518
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: a consensus to where guys where people see different players, Um,

519
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: you know, at least you know, knowing Mike the way

520
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: Mike did things, and he would just kind of like, okay,

521
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 1: and he looks at the number of guys that are

522
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: historically taken in the first round at each position, so, um,

523
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: you know, three quarterbacks are gonna go four quarterbacks are

524
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: gonna go four. I think four corners will go, you know,

525
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: things like that. So he'll make sure he's got four

526
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: corners in his mock, you know. Um. And I think

527
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: Daniel is probably gonna do the same thing. And because

528
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: him and Michael close, he probably does the same thing. Um.

529
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 1: But yeah, so those guys are going based off of

530
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 1: what they're here in their conversations with teams agents, you know.

531
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: And that's the thing about mocks, like you know, they

532
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: may think the Baltimore Ravens like a player, but they

533
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: don't know that from the Baltimore Ravens. You know, they're

534
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: basing that on. Okay, the Ravens talked to a guy

535
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: at a pro day, you know, well what's that always

536
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: cracks you up because we talked to every so but

537
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: you know, but it's also agent driven to a degree.

538
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 1: You know, they you know, the agents, Hey, this team

539
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,719
Speaker 1: is really hot on my guy, and you know, or

540
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: it's interesting so um, because they do talk to agents too.

541
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 1: So some of it's eight you know, guys pushed up

542
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: the board a little bit by agents, but they do

543
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 1: generally if you take the collective group, the masses, they

544
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: have a pulse, you know, of what the league wide

545
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 1: opinion is. I think have you ever put together mock drafts?

546
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 1: Does any has Eric or any guys? And you guys

547
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: like when I say when I say, I never put

548
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 1: you always like as your head. Yeah, I think this

549
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:32,959
Speaker 1: is who they're gonna take. They're gonna be looking at

550
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: one of these guys. But um, it's more like you

551
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: just anticipate certain players being gone. You know these guys

552
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: are going to be gone. This is probably who we're

553
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: going to be looking at. And that's so it's it's

554
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: you do it from a standpoint of clusters, not necessarily.

555
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: I think the Indianapolis Colts are going to select you know, yeah,

556
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: are you gonna ever reveal who your first round pick

557
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: is in your MOC right now? Yeah? Because you know

558
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 1: before gets into me, at least I can carry this

559
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: in exactly. So my guy, my favorite receiver is A J. Brown. Okay, Okay,

560
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: my guy who I think we're gonna pick is Marquis Brown. Okay,

561
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: That's who I'm going with. That's who you think we're picking.

562
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: But so you want me to carry in the A J.

563
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: Brown is your favorite guy? Well, you see, I think

564
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: I think if we're at twenty two, mark Ease makes

565
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: more sense that that will happen. I think if we

566
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: trade back a little bit, which I think we're going

567
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: to try to, then I think A J. Brown is

568
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: the guy and I like Brown. This is one of

569
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: the right. So you have if you have A J.

570
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: Brown over Marquis Brown, why would you take Marquis Brown?

571
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: Because I'm trying to predict what you guys are gonna do. Okay,

572
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: so it's a predictive. Yeah, okay, yeah, I'm I'm dumb.

573
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,719
Speaker 1: You guys are smart. I just want to know who.

574
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: I just want to know who I like. And I

575
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,239
Speaker 1: really like A J. Brown because production he's done it right,

576
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: He's done it more than d K has he's been,

577
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: he's been healthier than d K. Right, he can block.

578
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: He's a bigger guy. I mean DK think Ken too,

579
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: But a JB Buck he just makes like when you

580
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: just watch I just want to see a guy who

581
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: makes a ride into plays and does it consistently like

582
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: A J's got the speed he's got, like the quickness

583
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: he run after catch size top. I mean, he just

584
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: checks all the boxes to me, whereas d K has

585
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: a lot of question Marks Decay's ceiling could be really high.

586
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he's alluring, but a J I think his

587
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: ceiling could be high to a J. Brown seems to

588
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: have a high floor, but maybe a ceiling is like

589
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: a Marks Brown or as a d K back after

590
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: This is an interesting year where him I actually agree

591
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: because I like a J. Brown too, And that's it's

592
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: funny because typically we don't try to Typically we do

593
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: have a million conversations, but this year we said, all right,

594
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: stop telling me what you think because you're gonna cloud

595
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: my judgment here. So but then we both reveal which

596
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: receiver we like the most, and it was a J.

597
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: Brown for both of us. But I'm gonna I'm taking

598
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: a J. Brown in my mock with me with I

599
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: think we're gonna take Marquis. We don't know what the

600
00:29:55,800 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: playmaker with with the nuance that I think they're both playmakers.

601
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: What do you what do you say? Welcome to my life?

602
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: Welcome to my life? Al right, So I do last question,

603
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: I do have to ask you Eric's first draft as GM, like,

604
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: do you sense any uh nervousness excitement come from him

605
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: for his first I mean Ozzie's first pick was a

606
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: big I mean it was he had the fourth overall pick,

607
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: so he was in a little better situation. But like

608
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: we all look back at that, it's like, wow, Ozzie's

609
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: first pick. You know, we could look back on this

610
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: the same way for Eric, right right, right exactly, let's

611
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: get a Hall of famers. Um, do you get the

612
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: sense that he used his first pick as GM is

613
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: like a big deal? Um? I think he will be excited, Okay, Um,

614
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: and yes, it's a big Absolutely if I were the GM,

615
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: if I'm ever a GM, my first picket will be

616
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: a big deal. It doesn't matter if it's the first

617
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: pick of the draft or the thirty second picker. If

618
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: you don't have a first rounder, it's a big deal.

619
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna remember that first pick as GM. I remember

620
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 1: when we took Michael or when I was our director

621
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: of College County. That's a big deal to be as

622
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: my first pick. So, um, yeah, I think it will

623
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: be in terms of excitement or anxiety. Eric has been

624
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: so instrumental in the process, uh, for as long as

625
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: I can remember, you know, Um, he's been our director

626
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: since two thousand and three draft, I think, Um, so

627
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: he's always very you know a director and then obviously

628
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: director player personally all the way on that Um He's

629
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: always been very involved. So the process, the anticipation, the

630
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: excitement that we all feel on draft day, that's going

631
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: to be the same there. But there will be I'm

632
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: sure there will be a personal connection with the player.

633
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: For Eric Um as his first pick s GM, I

634
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: would think, you know, so that personal connection with him

635
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: and A. J. Brown thanks so much of the time.

636
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: It's always going appreciate it, all right, thank you, Joe. Alright,

637
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: well good stuff from Joe uh off the records. He

638
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: told us to pick, so we know, yeah, definitely j K.

639
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: He would never ever do that. If he told us

640
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: to pick and said like, hey, guys, this is who's

641
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: gonna be. Don't tell anybody. I would one know that

642
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: he's lying. Like if you if you were to say

643
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: that to us and try to play it off as serious,

644
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: I wouldn't believe him for a second. I would not

645
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: want him to tell me to pick. I don't want

646
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: I don't like to This is right, this is the

647
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: time of the year where like because we're making these

648
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: guesses right that, like, I don't want anybody to think

649
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: that I'm actually divulging something that I might know because

650
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: and I'll tell every listener out there and if any

651
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: other teams listening out there. I don't know, Jack, right,

652
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: you can write that down. That's your teaser for the episode.

653
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, Jack, there's your little clip. Um, but

654
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: like seriously, like there's been past years where I've gone

655
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: down to the weight room or something. You know, when

656
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: you used to work out. When I used to work out,

657
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: A used to have muscles, um, and like Oz, you'd

658
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: be down there and he'd be talking with Eric, and

659
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: I would just cruise right past them. Like you don't

660
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: even want to be perceived as a guy who's trying

661
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: to hear stuff because then if something gets out and

662
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: you get blamed, that's the worst. So I'm like fingers

663
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: in the ears. I don't want to know, right because

664
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: if you know, it's like, well who knows, Like well

665
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,440

669
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: to keep my job. So there's certain things I don't

00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,040
