1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Lounge presented by Draft Kings. The NFL

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 1: scouting Combine is coming up, and with that in mind,

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:15,079
Speaker 1: we brought in our guy, Cole Jackson from Just a

4
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: Guy Watching Football. You can find him on Twitter at

5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 1: Cole Jackson FB. Make sure you follow his work on

6
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: YouTube and everything he does breaking down film and Cole

7
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: has become kind of our resident draft expert here right

8
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: for the Baltimore Ravens, and we're bringing him in today

9
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: to kind of preview the combine and tell us some

10
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: guys that we need to watch out for. Garrett's head there,

11
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: drill start on Thursday. Garrett's going to Indie Garrett. This

12
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: Cole did your homework for you? Okay? Yeah, I mean

13
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: I was, I was gonna spend today like studying up,

14
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: but I was like, you know what I need to

15
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: skip that. I just have a Cole give me all

16
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: the things I need to watch out for. And so

17
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: that's that's basically my homework right here. Yep, you're welcome.

18
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 1: I'll say it for col You're welcome. So cool. Just

19
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: you know, obviously you know the Ravens needs. We're going

20
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: to spend a lot of time talking about wide receiver

21
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: and probably corners and whatnot. Let's let's kick it off

22
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: at wide receiver. Who are some of the players at

23
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: the combine you think Ravens fans should be looking out

24
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: for and why. I think it's going to be a

25
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: really interesting look at some of these guys because and

26
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah just said it today that you know, he

27
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: sees this as a pretty weak wide receiver class, and

28
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: at least in the first round that is. And so

29
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: I think there's a number of guys that really stand

30
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: to lose and gain a lot, and no one more

31
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: than Jackson Smith and ningba and from Ohio State, because

32
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: on film you don't see that kind of eye eye

33
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: dropping explosiveness. And he's been compared a lot to Justin

34
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: Jefferson mostly because you know, they were used primarily as

35
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: slot receivers, but they project as both being able to

36
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: play inside outside, really good route runners and call knowledge.

37
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: That's kind of been the standard go to. But I

38
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: don't think you see that same type of athleticism on

39
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: his tape, and that this is where the combine is

40
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: still valuable because we get those opportunities to see, you know,

41
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: what are the athletic numbers what are the potentials of

42
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: these guys and you know, are they just buying slow?

43
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: Is that something that can be developed? So it really

44
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: gives you that baseline, and so he really stands out

45
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: as a guy that has a ton to gain if

46
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: he goes out and he runs well, his agility numbers

47
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: are good, it's just going to kind of elevate him

48
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: and really separate him from the rest of the pack.

49
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: But plus, I mean, he didn't play a whole lot

50
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: of football this past year, so it's going to be

51
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: really big for people to see him, you know, on

52
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: the field doing stuff exactly. And just the medicals in general,

53
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: like those are always kind of the undervalued piece of

54
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes we see guys drop in the draft

55
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: and we're like, you know, us as fans are like

56
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: what why? And it's a lot of that goes into

57
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: those medicals, those interviews that they have kind of the

58
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: hidden pieces of the combine but are super important to

59
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: draft stocks. Um and Zay Flowers is another guy. Um

60
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: he measured in I wouldn't say it was disappointing. He

61
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: came in at five to nine in the in the

62
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: Shrine Bowl where he participated and I think that was

63
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: a little disappointing to folks. I think that people were

64
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: hoping he was kind of in the five ten, five

65
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: eleven range, but he's really projecting as kind of that

66
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: z outside speedster. Um. But if he goes out there

67
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: and puts down you know, a lower than a four

68
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: four forty for example, you could see his stock then

69
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: boost and you know you kind of get into that, well,

70
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: can he be a guy like Devonte Smith has been

71
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: for the Eagles that type of deep threat? Um? So

72
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: those are two guys that really pop in terms of

73
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: a lot to prove. But then a couple other wide

74
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: receivers that the Ravens are going to probably have their

75
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: eyes on. Clenton Johnson has a from TCU. Has he

76
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: at six four two tan He clocked a four four

77
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: last spring? Um, can he break that? And you're talking

78
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: about a big dude who plays fast, who you know

79
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: has that insanely high upside. You know, he gives me

80
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: kind of that Tory Smith vibe of a kind of

81
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: a taller wide receiver. But he can blaze. Dude, that's

82
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: exactly the guy that I thought with him. You know,

83
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: it's he can spin off and get some yak. But

84
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: he's not like a twitchy guy, but he's he can

85
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: he can open it up, and you you kind of

86
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: see it in his in his root running, like when

87
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: he uses a double upper release off the line, he

88
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: plants that outside foot and cuts back inside and it's

89
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: not as fluid as he'd like to see, but then

90
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: his acceleration is like deerlike, like he just takes off.

91
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: And that was always what I felt about Tory. You know,

92
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: Tory was always a little choppy, but once he got going,

93
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: people couldn't catch him. And you know, Tory became notorious

94
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: um for the for the past interferences, and that's because

95
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: he would just blaze by guys and corners would start

96
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: to panic. UM. So he really reminds me that a

97
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: little bit of Marquis Veldez scantling. Maybe that's just the

98
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: recency bias of the playoffs, but that type of Z

99
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: receiver that can threaten you deep and again if he

100
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: runs asked, this is a huge opportunity for these guys.

101
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: Last one I'll speak to you on the wide receiver

102
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: front is Jalen Hyatt. He's been, I guess, hyping himself

103
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: up a little bit talking about how he might crack

104
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: the you know, the four twos. Um good on him,

105
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: might mean go out there and play your own card.

106
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: But he gained a lot of attention this year, you know,

107
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: sixty seven catches, thirteen hundred almost thirteen hundred yards, fifteen touchdowns.

108
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: He won the Best Wide Receiver in College Football award,

109
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: So you know, again a ton to gain for I

110
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: guess I would call it a weaker wide receiver class.

111
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: I think that's a fair assessment. It seems to be

112
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: in line with what the experts are coming out with.

113
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: But you know, all it takes is good combines and

114
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: you started seeing guys catapult, right, Don't mean the interesting

115
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: thing is that you know, right now, just talking about

116
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah, he only has you know, he has Jordan

117
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: Addison out of USC being his top guy, and I

118
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 1: think he had him in the top fifteen. Where did

119
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: he have him twelve twelve twelve to the Texans right,

120
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: and then it's it's a pretty big drop off there.

121
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: He has, you know, a couple guys including Quinton Johnson

122
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: going you know, including Smith Smith and Jigba going right

123
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: in front of the Ravens. But you know, it really

124
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like there's a consensus necessarily on where these

125
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: guys are all going to fall, and I think the

126
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: combine is going to really help sort that out in

127
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: a lot of ways. It kind of reminds me of

128
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. You know, Ravens were the ones that picked

129
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: the first wide receiver with Marcus Brown, and I think

130
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: again it was seen after the draft. You know A J.

131
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: Brown went second round, DK went the end of second yep,

132
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: end of second YEA. So like guys that probably we

133
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: look back in a redraft now and are like first

134
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: round talents of course, but you know, and even Terry

135
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: McLaurin was the third round. So you know, it's always interesting,

136
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,239
Speaker 1: right you kind of get called a weak wide receiver class,

137
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: guys are going late, but then you get all these

138
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: number one wide receivers coming out. So if it turns

139
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: out to be the twenty nineteen wide receiver class, give

140
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 1: me give me two or three of them. Yeah, maybe four,

141
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: we can stop talking about wide receivers every drafting seriously. Well,

142
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: that that is, I mean, that is the interesting thing

143
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: about the nineteen class is like they're just there, wasn't

144
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: those guys at the very top end, like in comparison

145
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: to last year where a bunch of guys went early,

146
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: but then it ended up being a really stellar class.

147
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: You know, the first one didn't come off the board

148
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: until Hollywood at twenty five, and then you have Dib

149
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: with Samuel and the other guys that you just mentioned.

150
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: So it is kind of interesting that if it does

151
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: turn out to be that way, maybe that doesn't necessarily

152
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: mean that the talent pool, like the players, could end

153
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: up being good even if there's not like that clear cut.

154
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: This is the top ten. The guy who I feel

155
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: like Ravens fans always bring up. You know, it's like

156
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: an AJ Green, you know AJ Green ten years ago

157
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: when he was coming out in the draft, and it's like,

158
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: this guy is clearly, you know, a number one type

159
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: receiver and it turns out that there was a lot

160
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: in that class. So you know, in terms of the

161
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: other position of need, I would say that jumps out

162
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: his cornerback, and that need could could alter pretty significantly

163
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: based on what happens with Marcus Peters. He's appending free agent,

164
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: the Ravens ringing back. Suddenly that cornerback is not as

165
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: big of a need, but if he leaves then and

166
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: it is a big one so who are the corners

167
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: that you like and could you see the Ravens go

168
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: in that direction in the first round. I don't want

169
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: to tease him too much because I think he's going

170
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: to be able to reach for the Ravens. But Christian

171
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: Gonzalez has a potential to really earn some money at

172
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: this combine. I saw a report where he clocked twenty

173
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: three point three miles per hour and on his GPS time,

174
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: which is insanely fast, and so I think he's gonna

175
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: put down a really good speed at six to two hundred.

176
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: That's kind of a bit of a theme with this

177
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: corner class. A lot of bigger bodies, but athletic types,

178
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: so kind of like the Jimmy Smith type bodies, but

179
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: they're just these guys are getting so freakishly athletic that

180
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: you know, at these bigger sizes, they're putting down some

181
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: insane times. But I know Christian Gonzalez also had a

182
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: vertical jump of forty two inches, which is like he

183
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: has the potential to just absolutely smash the combine. But

184
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: a guy that I really think might be on the

185
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: Ravens radar and they're going to get a ton of

186
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: intel from their new offensive coordinator, Todd Munket is Kelly

187
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: Ringo out of Georgia. Another guy six two two fifteen.

188
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: He's a world class junior sprinter. He ran a ten

189
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: point four three one hundred meter I think it was

190
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: twenty one point one eight two hundred meter, so he's

191
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: a legitimate four three guy. And I know he hit

192
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: the high twenty twos and in his GPS to time.

193
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: So that's again one of those guys where you're talking

194
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: about ideal height, size speed on his tape. It's not

195
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: necessarily the most consistent. You know, the instincts aren't there.

196
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: He's more of an athlete playing corner right now that

197
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 1: needs to take that step in to become a more

198
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 1: complete football player. But you can't teach this type of

199
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: athleticism with this guy. So you know, he is a

200
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: guy that I really think the Ravens or Ravens fans

201
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 1: should have their eyes on because you know, he comes

202
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: in with a direct character reference to one of his

203
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: coaches that would be able to provide a ton of intel.

204
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: That's a huge advantage to a team drafting another guy

205
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: that I think is going to maybe be a little

206
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: bit of a later pick, but Jakorey and Bennett out

207
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: of Maryland. I know there's a lot of talk about

208
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: him and rickiem Jarrett going at it in practice. Guys

209
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 1: that are legitimate, high twenty two mile per hour GPS guys,

210
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: both can jump out of the gym. So I think

211
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: it's going to be really interesting. And what he really

212
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: showed as a senior was his knack for getting to

213
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: the ball. He led the FBS with sixteen pass breakups

214
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: added three interceptions. That was actually the most by a

215
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: Maryland player since Dominique Foxworth for a rave, So there

216
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: it is. So I thought that was an interesting little number.

217
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: But I again, another guy and a local guy, so

218
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: you know, we always gotta have our eyes on the

219
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: on the Turps, so I think they're another Maryland corner

220
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: though Banks Banks, Yeah, Banks, and also a legitimate guy,

221
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: not necessarily, I don't think the freak athlete that Bennett is,

222
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: but a very very good corner in his own right,

223
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: probably going higher than Bennett did, but uh yeah no.

224
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: And they the Turps have a lot of draftable talent

225
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 1: this year, so it's been that's pretty interesting. Terms I

226
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: always end up football and basketball. Let's go Garret, you

227
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: better your Buck guys better watch out, buddy. Yeah. I

228
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: think the Buck guys probably have a few draftable players too.

229
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: When you say that, cold, Yeah, you got a couple probably,

230
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: especially on the offensive line. They're yeah, they're gonna have that.

231
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: They're offensive line last year. They're gonna have all four

232
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: guys starting on offensive or on on NFL offensive lines.

233
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: They just keep putting them out. Yeah, And and I

234
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: mean obviously the big one on the offensive side too

235
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: is Jacksons within Jake but who you just mentioned who

236
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of Ravens fans are hoping he

237
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 1: lands in Baltimore. Is potential, you know, if they saw

238
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: that receiver position, he could be a target there potentially

239
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 1: in the first round. So it really compliments payment too.

240
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, totally curious question, you know, because you're the

241
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: one who looks at the film in depth here, and

242
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: I want to get your take on this because when

243
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: we get to the combine, this is the time of

244
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: year where it's like the Risers and the fallers and

245
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: you're talking about it like how fast is Jackson Smith

246
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 1: and Jigbo really or how how does this guy run?

247
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: And that's the case that every NFL team wants to

248
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: see those things. I'm curious from your perspective, do you.

249
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 1: I'll admit, like, whenever I hear about the combine risers

250
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 1: or followers or the vast swings that take place over

251
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: this week, it always gives me a little bit of pause.

252
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: Like Orlando Brown falls out into the third round because

253
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 1: of a terrible combine, and it's like, well, he was

254
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 1: an All American and he was a stud and you

255
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 1: know that probably overreacted. And there's plenty of examples where

256
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: it goes the other way as well. What is your

257
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: take on what to make of what we see at

258
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: the combine and all of the positional drills to take place.

259
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: This is a very very important question anytime you're talking

260
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 1: about player evaluation, because I think the best way to

261
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: do it is film should always be your underpinning Like

262
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: if if and I tell you if you guys see

263
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: me on Twitter, I'm always going on about arm length.

264
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: And the reason I do that is because if a

265
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: guy has short arms and those short arms negatively impact

266
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 1: him clears day on film, I don't need to know

267
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: his arm length to know that he Tyler Lindermam would

268
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: like a word I know and someone example shorter arms,

269
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: completely undersized for a tackle, yet he's his best football

270
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 1: for the Baltimore Ravens has ben at offensive tackle. It's

271
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: because he has such good hand policements, such good timing.

272
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: His punch is really good, it's got great footwork. Those things. Again,

273
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 1: all of that's on film. I don't really need the

274
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: measurement to kind of put that together. So I think

275
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: the best way to do it is it shows you potential.

276
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: And so what I mean by that is if a

277
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: receiver goes out and runs a four to three, but

278
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 1: then you watch him on film and he's not running

279
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: by anybody, he's not giving separation, Does that four three matter?

280
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: I would say yes, but in context. So it shows

281
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: me what someone's potential might be. But you still have

282
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: to make sure that it matches with what you're seeing

283
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: on film. So the more daddy you get, and that

284
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: goes with medicals, player interviews, all that good stuff, all

285
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: the analytics that come with these guys, they're all data

286
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: points that create this mosaic. But I complain about it

287
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: every year, and it's because I'm a film guy by heart.

288
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: But you know, we all go kuckoo bananas at the

289
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: at the combine as guys fly up and down. But

290
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: if you do your homework, I think you see a

291
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: lot of this on film, but I really don't do

292
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: think it speaks to potential, and that part's really important,

293
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: especially with you know, a guy like that I really

294
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: wanted to see run last year, Like I want to

295
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: see what o'jabo would run because I thought he was

296
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: going to kill it. And you know he's twitchy, but

297
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: just how twitchy is he? Or you know the talk

298
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: about Trevor Penning last year and the stiffness in his hips,

299
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: but then he came out and had a really good

300
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: three cone and so it's like, okay, maybe he worked

301
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: on that, right. So it also shows that development factor.

302
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: How much better did guys get? And I think there's

303
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: something to be said about it speaks to a player's

304
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: work ethic preparing for the combine. It's a long grindum

305
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: Guys like Penning that earned some money by you know,

306
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: properly preparing and crushing his drills. I think they deserve

307
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: credit for that, and it kind of speaks to coachability.

308
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: So those are kind of the things that I factor in. Again,

309
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: I'll always be a film guy, true and true but

310
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: these are important data points that we need well. I

311
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: do think also that the Ravens have shown under Eric

312
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: da Costa, like I think that they've kind of swayed

313
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: a little bit more towards taking some of these premiere

314
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: athletes that you see, you know, some some freaks combine freaks,

315
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: you know, for lack of a better term, Like, you know,

316
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: we saw that with Oa. I mean, Kyle Hamilton. Everybody

317
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: knew he was an athletic freak, you know, I mean

318
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: even Jena Jones for a big guy, Bateman was a freak. Yeah,

319
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: boy is a really interesting one because um, and we'll

320
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: talk about one of their one of notre games prospects

321
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: coming up. But they really do a good job preparing

322
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: their guys for the combine because we saw Boykin run

323
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: insanely well, and then a year later you see Chase

324
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: Claypool do the exact same, and again they got that

325
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: buzz of being huge athletic specimens that also backed it

326
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: up with the times. But then when you watch them run,

327
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: you can see see how well trained they are for

328
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: the drills. And I find it just so fascinating to

329
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: see some of these schools produce and you'll see it

330
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: with Clemson this year. They have two guys on the

331
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: defensive line that are going to absolutely crush the combine. Um.

332
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: So it's it's really interesting to me, but you got

333
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: to be wary of that, and that's why you have

334
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: to pay it to the film to make sure it

335
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: shows up right. All right. So another need for the

336
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: Evens obviously, is it pass rusher. You know, Justin Houston

337
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 1: led the team in sacks last year. He's a free

338
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: agent and you know, in his early thirties, so the

339
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: need could be there. Who do you see at the

340
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: edge that you think could be interesting in players that

341
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,959
Speaker 1: Ravens fan should watch for. There are some extremely twitchy

342
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 1: guys coming out from that are kind of true three

343
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: to four stand up outside linebackers that when you think

344
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: of the potential of matching these guys with a David

345
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: Ojabo and the speed they can bring off the edge.

346
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: So the first would be Will McDonald at Iowa State. UM,

347
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: I think he's kind of seen as a late first,

348
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: early second type guy. Um. He really caught my eye

349
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: watching Trevor Penning last year, and that's because at Northern

350
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 1: Iowa they play Iowa State every year, so I saw

351
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: him in consecutive years, kind of being the toughest matchup

352
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: penning face. And he's really that kind of twitchy guy.

353
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: He's six three two thirty six so he's smaller, but

354
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: he flies up the field. He's very explosive. How to

355
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: measured vertical of forty two and abroad at eleven so

356
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: should really crush those agility jumps um where they where

357
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: they kind of pop out at guys. Another one that

358
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: I think is gonna get a lot of buzz is

359
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: Andre Carter from Ermie Um. He grew. I think he

360
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: was measured at six five last year. When he got

361
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: measured this year, he's sixty seven, two hundred and sixty pounds.

362
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: He had he's still growing in Laege. Yeah, he has

363
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: a six ten. He's gonna end up at seven five.

364
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: He's gonna be we got yao ming on the edge.

365
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: It's it's crazy and uh you know again another guy

366
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: that is is insanely twitch. He finished this year with

367
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: fifteen and a half sacks. Another guy that's growing into

368
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: his body really thin. Um reminds me a lot of

369
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:47,959
Speaker 1: Tho Jabo. Just you know a guy that I think

370
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: is gonna bulk up and look a little bit different.

371
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: I think we saw that with old Way a little

372
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: bit too old ways body compositions a little bit different

373
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: as his you know, the muscular strength through the weight

374
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,239
Speaker 1: program that he gets in the NFL is called up

375
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: to kind of his height and his length, so you know,

376
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: he looks a lot different than he did as a rookie,

377
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: at least to me. And I think Andre Carter's that

378
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: take a guy, a guy that should again absolutely crush

379
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: the agility testing and jump out of the gym. So

380
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: that's kind of two guys that I think are borderline

381
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: first round talents that could be there for the Ravens

382
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: where they pick. Another guy is Nick Hampton at Appalachian State.

383
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: Came in with some really impressive press numbers. I think

384
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: he inclined press like three hundred and sixty five pounds,

385
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: sumo deadlift six hundred, has a broad at ten six

386
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: and vertical at thirty nine, walked over twenty one miles

387
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: per hour on the GPS as an edge rusher. I

388
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 1: believe it's actually a former wide receiver from college. And

389
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 1: you guys might remember last year we talked about Dominique

390
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: Robinson in our Combine preview and then he went out

391
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: really killed it, got drafted well, had a pretty good

392
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: rookie year converted wide receiver much like Nick Hampton is

393
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: so a guy that I think needs to catch up

394
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: in the football aspect of his development, but has those

395
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: that athleticism you can't teach him that should really be

396
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: on display at the combine. HM. So you know this

397
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: is it's still early, you know, no more. Our mock

398
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: drafts aren't sandstone yet, okay, so we're still just starting

399
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: to fill them in. But one of the things that

400
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 1: you can't start early enough on is nailing down the sleepers.

401
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: And this is the time of year, Okay, that mank

402
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: basically hears anybody as a mid to late round prospect

403
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: and says, that's my guy. He says, that'll start playing. Yeah,

404
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 1: he starts playing his flag. Twenty different players flags, flags,

405
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: I have many flags to pay, twenty different players who

406
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: he says he's going to take in his mock. That way,

407
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: if they ever hit, he can say, I got I

408
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: told you. And it's the same. It's the same story

409
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 1: every year. When we had you on last year, Coal,

410
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: we probably said the same thing. So let's go ahead

411
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: and start the process. Now, do you see who do

412
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: you see as the sleepers, you know, the mid to

413
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: late round potential targets at these positions is of need, receiver,

414
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: edge corner a receiver. A guy that I think has

415
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: potential to be really freaky is at Perry out of

416
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: wake Forest six five two oh five, should run in

417
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: the four fours. Just one of those guys that when

418
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: you're that big, that fast, and he shows on his

419
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,479
Speaker 1: tape really good contested catchability, which is really the key

420
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: for a fast guy. He's got the typical not the

421
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: best hands in the world, like most deep threats do,

422
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: but when he gets up at the above the rim

423
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 1: against corners, he fights hard. So that's a guy that

424
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: I think is going to crush it at the combine,

425
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: but also be a little bit of sleeper in the draft.

426
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: And I mean, I feel like he's not as much

427
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 1: as sleeper anymore, but that's because I you know him

428
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: in the Baltimore area of things, and that's for Kim Jared,

429
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: and that's just I think he's a guy that's not

430
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: going to get drafted high, but has all of the

431
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: potential in the world to be a really good NFL player,

432
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: all of the speed, good size, you know, he had

433
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: good production, so I I really think he's got that

434
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: kind of big upside potential. So that's two receivers. Um.

435
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: When I look at corners, I got to give a

436
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: shout out to my guy, Michael Crawford on this one.

437
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: Riley Moss at Iowa, he pops out because he's a

438
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: white quarterback and there's just not many of them out there,

439
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: but he was. He crushed it at the Senior Bowl

440
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: this year. Um six one one ninety three. He's a

441
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: freak track guy. Um, and I think he's gonna actually

442
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: go out there and top Zion McCollum's agility numbers apparently

443
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: by point one of a second. So a guy that

444
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: earned a lot of money at the drop at the

445
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 1: Combine last year. So um, he's reportedly gonna beat Kevin King,

446
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: who set the record in twenty seventeen with three point

447
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: eight nine so um. And and the sorry in the

448
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: short shuttle, which is really big for a cornerback. But

449
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 1: he also backs it up with some pretty good tape.

450
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: So and another Iowa Hawkeye we can't say no to them,

451
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: and another I do, Tyler hender bamb bade me made

452
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: a lot of eat, a lot of Crow last year,

453
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: so let's Gino Stone, Let's go. Yeah. Yeah, heck of

454
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: a year for Gino. Another guy that pops on the

455
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 1: edge front. Just to kind of complete the top three

456
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: needs is DJ Johnson out to Oregon again, another really

457
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: green football players in Miami transfer to Oregon. Um didn't

458
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: play a ton six four two seventy five, but clocked

459
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: a GPS time of two two point eight, which is

460
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 1: there twenty two point eight, which is I mean we're

461
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 1: talking about wide receiver time. So again, another edge rusher

462
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 1: with that twitch ability. Guys that you know they're tough

463
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: to trust because you know they still got to develop

464
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: the football side of things. But if if give me

465
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,239
Speaker 1: one of those, one of those guys to pan out,

466
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: and I think you get a freak pass rusher. So um,

467
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: those are kind of the guys where I'm gonna have

468
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: my you know, they're gonna be an ald lot on

469
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: my mock draft so that I can retweet them in

470
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 1: next year at this time and look smart. Well, I mean,

471
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: I mean the edge thing is like the Ravens have

472
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: a good track record of finding mid to late round

473
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: edge players. Just look at reason history. Judeng was a

474
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: fifth round pick. Grand Valley State. Id Arias Smith also

475
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: fourth He was a fourth round pick out of Kentucky,

476
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: late bloomer. So like, I have faith in their ability

477
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: to find some of those guys on the edge who

478
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: can come in and be really dynamic players. So you know,

479
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: you you thought you knew the script with the highly

480
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 1: productive college pass rusher and then they drafted away. Yeah,

481
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know we're all saying. Going

482
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 1: into that, we were like, I don't know if they

483
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,719
Speaker 1: draft the guy who didn't have any sex last year

484
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: and then back to the athleticism. Sometimes it's like they're

485
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: willing to, you know, roll the dice on that and honestly,

486
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: on the flip side, like when we had this conversation

487
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: last year, we talked about linder Bomb because Linder bamb was,

488
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: you know, mel Kiper was saying maybe they could take

489
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: him in the first round. Like if you go back

490
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: a year ago and U and Cole, you like you

491
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: didn't think that. I didn't really think it was gonna

492
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 1: happen either, just based on the scheme fit and it's

493
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 1: just like, is that going to be the guy he's

494
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: under size and like he was basically like him and

495
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: Oway are like the two opposite examples, like, oh, way

496
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: was the guy who like had this great combine, the

497
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: athletic you know guy. And then Leonard Baum was like

498
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: from like the combine standpoint, didn't light it up, but

499
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: he had the great tape. It doesn't have the great size,

500
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: but he had the great tape. You know, the great

501
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: movement skills of the combine. Obviously you saw that. Yeah, yeah, totally,

502
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: you saw the movement skills. Um. It's just it's just interesting,

503
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: like as you go through your teams, go through the

504
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: scouting process, like to the earlier point you made, like

505
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: you have to marry those two things. And it's and

506
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: that's the challenge. Well, what I want to know is

507
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: who who does Cole absolutely think the Ravens will not

508
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: draft you, and then we know that that guy's going

509
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: Who are they going to trade to get another first

510
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: round pick to pick them? That's the question. Yeah, yeah,

511
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,239
Speaker 1: that's true. They didn't have two first round picks when

512
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: what we're making it, Yeah, we'll give you no Like

513
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding. I was doing a live broadcast during

514
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: the draft, and as soon as I heard the trade

515
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: come in, they get I think they got twenty five

516
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: and then moved again, or twenty then moved again, and

517
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here and I'm like, oh my god, they're

518
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: gonna pick Tyler Lean your bam kie. On many tweets,

519
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 1: I have to go to race, I had to make

520
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: I had to make a couple of donations because I

521
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,719
Speaker 1: was that soul. But Garrett really nailed it. I mean,

522
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: it was never about his and I hope I made

523
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: this clear about him as a player, him as a

524
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: player and as a prospect. I loved like I loved

525
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: what he did on tape. It was just when you

526
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: looked at their history of the center position, not only

527
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: had they not invested highly at it, and you knew

528
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: he was going to go in the first thirty to

529
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: forty picks, but they just have always preferred a bigger guy.

530
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: And I think it's a good lesson where you need

531
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: to look at trends with the Ravens and their picks.

532
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: With offensive linemen, for example, especially guards, they've never really

533
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: gone solely for athleticism. They've really focused on high achieving

534
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: all American type guards, Ben Powers, Ben Broughison, you know

535
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 1: those types of guys. So I think that you got

536
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 1: to look at trends to try be predictive, but all

537
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: it takes is one pick for the trend to break.

538
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: And Tyler lender Baum's a good uh, and so you

539
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 1: know you try. And like when when I hear DC

540
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: talk about a player, I'm like, Okay, he's just that smokescreen.

541
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: He's not gonna take him. And then when he started

542
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: talking about how much yonda loved loved Linderbaum, I should

543
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: have been on the office, and like he's talking about

544
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: him trying to throw me off there. I know, I

545
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: know he's good at that. You never know which side

546
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: of the coin he's playing. He's well, he's well skilled

547
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: of that. Well, what's interesting I think is that, you know,

548
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 1: Eric Decasta is all about value. That's what DC loves, right,

549
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: And last year was you know, kind of a case

550
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: in point, and they draft these guys from positions that

551
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: generally speaking aren't high value positions, right and in safety center,

552
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: you know these aren't the quote unquote premier positions, right.

553
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: And but this year you look at the Ravens needs

554
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 1: and you know it's got to be at the top.

555
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: Once you're talking wide receiver, there's always go early, corners,

556
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: go early, edge rushers go early. I mean right up

557
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: there with left tackles and quarterbacks right like, so it

558
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: kind of leaves me wondering, like, Okay, how do they

559
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: still get value at these positions of great need where

560
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: everybody's looking for players at these positions, And so it

561
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: makes me like wonder with all these guys, like, Okay,

562
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 1: what are you sacrificing? Like, like, let's just say as

563
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: a flowers, you're sacrificing size, right, Like, what are they

564
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: willing to sacrifice to get where they still feel like

565
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: they're getting great value with that pick and player that

566
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: that you know, Bijean Robinson would be another great example,

567
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: right Here's like a guy that the draft experts are

568
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: saying he's a top five to ten player in the draft,

569
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: you know, but he plays running back, which isn't a

570
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: high value. So I don't know. That's just kind of

571
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: where my head goes to it with all this. No,

572
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: it's a good point, and I think we saw it

573
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: last year. You know, they were getting guys in the

574
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: fourth round that were talked about at one point being

575
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: like early seconds, like Filelee was kind of that early

576
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: second type guy. And then again he didn't run at

577
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: the combine or I think he ran this pro day

578
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: and ran a little slow, so he kind of dropped

579
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: the way we saw with Orlando Brown just not having

580
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: the great athletic testing numbers. But you know, it is

581
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: an interesting thing because the Ravens rarely draft high and

582
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: it's a real testament to being consistently a good football team.

583
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: So you're kind of falling out of that area where

584
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: you can get those top guys at the premium positions.

585
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: So it really does make sense as a as a

586
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: strategy to pick up Okay, well, we'll take you know,

587
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: the high rates safety that should be a five to

588
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: top five, top seven player in the draft, and we'll

589
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: take him at sixteen, or you know, we'll grab Travis

590
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: Jones in the third round because you know, he's seen

591
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: as just a nose tackle. So I think they've done

592
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 1: a really good job with that. But you know, the

593
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: other thing I guess i'd throw out there is if

594
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: I had any critique over the last few years, it's like,

595
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: let's see them do a trade up for um, a

596
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: guy that you know, might be someone that you know

597
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: like JSN, Like, if they want to get him, let's

598
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: trade up and get them um. That's been one of

599
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: my only critiques over the last few years is a

600
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: problem this years they don't have the ammunition they lose

601
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: on the road six. At least they got Roll Smith.

602
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: That's that's the big thing. So I'll take that because

603
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: that's the best draft right there. I'll give up the

604
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: second for that. Yeah, but yeah, it makes me think too,

605
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: col you know of other positions that aren't necessarily the

606
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: top three positions of need. You know, are there any

607
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: other prospects, you know, whether it be a guard or

608
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: you know, obviously Ben Powers could leave in free agency.

609
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: You know, is there whatever? You know, a day two,

610
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: day three quarterback? You know, even that they have to

611
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: think about, is there anybody in that at some of

612
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: those less sexy positions of need that you think Ravens

613
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: fans should look out for it to combine. I wouldn't

614
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: discount the possibility of a running back this year. You

615
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: know Jk's contracts coming up. Who knows what the future

616
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: is with Gus M. Burraylan Allen out of Wisconsin really

617
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: fits the Ravens and the way they like to play football.

618
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: A guy that six two, two thirty five had insane

619
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: lift numbers at a ten yards split at one point

620
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: four nine, which is very very fast for a guy

621
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: of his size. So um really fits kind of the

622
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: raven style I think. So he's someone that I think

623
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: you can get a little bit later when Kenny Mackintosh

624
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: out of Georgia. I mean, we should probably all be

625
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: looking at Georgia offensive players, right, I know, like who's

626
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: gonna know them better? And the interesting thing about Macintosh

627
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: and actually one of the reasons I was I don't

628
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: know if you guys saw, I was super high on

629
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: taught Monkin as an oc because he was so good

630
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: at utilizing two running backs, two tight ends. You know,

631
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: we at Darkneute Washington and brought Bowers. So it's like

632
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: a guy that's coming into a two running back, two

633
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: tight end type system where you have the personnel and

634
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: plays what a good fit just to kind of murder Gin.

635
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, definitely keep an eye on some of

636
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: those Georgia guys, especially some of the offensive lineman. But

637
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: a guy that caught my eye last year when I

638
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: was watching Cole Strange at a small school Tennessee Chattanooga

639
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: was McClendon Curtis. And he really played well at the

640
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: at the com or at the combine, at the Senior Bowl,

641
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: and so what I think you're going to see with

642
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: some of these offensive guards and with their combine numbers

643
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: is maybe not as great testing numbers, but these guys

644
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: are freakishly huge hit sheer, which to my point earlier

645
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: is typically where you know the Ravens have kind of

646
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: gone with some of their offensive guards. You know, you're

647
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: usually looking at the bigger six four six five guys

648
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: three hundred and twenty plus pounds. Mcclennan Curtis is six six,

649
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: three thirty had a deadlift a seven seventy five power

650
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: clean three forty five and still had like he doesn't

651
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: look like, he looks like he can run. So he's

652
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: a guy that could really go out there and crush it.

653
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: Another one is Andrew vorhees Um, who'll last name too, Um,

654
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: you know, possibly his dad's name is Jason. I don't

655
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: know um, But so I think he's a guy to

656
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: keep an eye on out of USC. He's an older prospect,

657
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: but six six three twenty five I spent time at

658
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: left guard and left tackle. Fits that versatility you see

659
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: the Ravens like to get kind of former tackles that

660
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: can play guard and also kind of develop at both spots.

661
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: Um could be like kind of a third round pick.

662
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: Take guy so Um. I think there's quite a few

663
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: offensive guards out there that I would be shocked if

664
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: the Ravens come out of the draft without one of them.

665
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: All right, wait, I have one guy to ask you about. Okay,

666
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: talk about perfect names here. Xavier Trust. He's six six pounds, big,

667
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: Trust and from Georgia. Come on, I'll put my flag

668
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: in right now. Big. I haven't watched him in debt,

669
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: but I mean, if if if the name if the name.

670
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: I've always learned never speak to a player that you

671
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: have watched in depth. It's harmandic. It will bite you

672
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: in the butt. But he you know, I'm a big

673
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: fan of names. You guys all remember I came up

674
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: with the Nigerian Mafia and we got it done. So

675
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: you know, Trust the names, follow the path of the name.

676
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: Brust the name Rust the names well done. Well, this

677
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: has been awesome, Coal. I feel ready. I feel ready

678
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 1: for the combine. Now I feel ready for these freaks. Man.

679
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 1: I'm telling you it's gonna be one of those years

680
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: where you're seeing guys doing things at sizes they shouldn't

681
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: be doing those things. At and I'm hoping we get

682
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: an update on the forty yard dash time of Ryan

683
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: Mink because I remember last year you were gloating about

684
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: that miles per hour when you were doing the running

685
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: at the speed sign. So I'm hoping that's where we

686
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: at now, like thirteen miles per hour fourteen where we

687
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: at it's precipitously dropped. I can tell you that much

688
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: you're talking about You're talking about big people doing things

689
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: they should and I'm just a big person who you

690
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: look at me and you're like, yeah, he runs if slower,

691
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: if not, you know that fast. If not slower, then

692
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: then what he looks? You know, he doesn't he looks

693
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: slow and he runs slow. That's right. I deliver on expectations. Well,

694
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: thank you Cole, and for everybody out there, make sure

695
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,160

Speaker 1: is no different. Draft Kings as a leader in daily

702
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: fantasy sports and it still has daily fantasy contests running

00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: for those who are looking to have skin in the game.

704
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 1: Every player has a salary associated with drafting him. You

705
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: assemble a lineup of players, stay under the salary cap,

706
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: and then you sit back and you watch your points

707

Speaker 1: here Ryan is in addition to the player workouts, is

712
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: we get to hear from both Eric to Costa and

713
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh during the combine. Most gms and head coaches

714
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: do press conferences during combine weeks, so that's a big

715
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: piece of the attraction. Both of them are talking on Wednesday,

716
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: Eric on one o'clock, John at two o'clock. We're going

717
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: to stream those press conferences for you live. But if

718
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: you don't get a chance to watch them live, well

719
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,240
Speaker 1: then you can still listen to them in their entirety

720
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: on our new Ravens podcast feed. Ravens Press Pass just

721
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 1: launched recently, so make sure you're subscribed to that. And

722
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,680

723
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: their entirety, so you get to listen to the entire thing.

724
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,760
Speaker 1: So that'll be out later this week with those pressers

725
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: from both John and Eric. Again subscribe to that. The

726
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 1: podcast is called Ravens Press Pass. So, um, what it

727
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 1: was your takeaway from after from from what we heard

728
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: from Cole here today. Well, I think that you know,

729
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some I'm sure players that come out

730
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,399
Speaker 1: of the Combine, that come out of Indian We're all like, yeah,

731
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: get go get that guy like Quentin Johnston, you know,

732
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: the wide receiver out of TCU who's been linked to

733
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: the Ravens a lot. Like if he runs, you know,

734
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:31,479
Speaker 1: on some four fours at his size, everybody's gonna be saying,

735
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: go draft that guy, right, And so I think that

736
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: there are I mean, these these guys that come out

737
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: of college these days are just it's unbelievable what they

738
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: can do athletically. And so yeah, I'm in true it

739
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 1: sounds like despite all the chatter about you know, well

740
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: it's not a great wide receiver class and all this stuff,

741
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:56,879
Speaker 1: like well they might put up some numbers that say otherwise. Right, Yeah,

742
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 1: that's that's the thing that I think I'm I'm most

743
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: interested in receiver position. And that's not like exactly ground

744
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: bait breaking news here. I mean that's I would say

745
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: that most what most ravenstaands are probably interested in. But

746
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see, like, are there any of those guys,

747
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,879
Speaker 1: whether it's a Quentin Johnson, Jackson Smith and Jacoba who

748
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's like, oh they're they're top ten,

749
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 1: They're not gonna be there, like whoever, whoever it is, right,

750
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: Jordan Addison, Yeah, Jordan Addison. That you're like, get this guy,

751
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: and then it's like, nashually you have no shot to

752
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: get this guy. Well, Jalen Hyatt would be the guy

753
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: out of Tennessee who you know, Cole touched on. If

754
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: he runs what he's apparently saying he's gonna run. I mean, now,

755
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: all of a sudden he's kind of you know, expected

756
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: to be uh probably picked after twenty two. You know,

757
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: people are saying like lately first round, if not early second,

758
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: like he seems kind of a brink guy. But if

759
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 1: he runs what he's talking about running, and then he's like, well, yeah,

760
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: I just won. You know, the wide receiver the year Award.

761
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: You know, it's gonna be tough to say he's not

762
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: going top twenty, right, so it's gonna be interesting. Yeah, yeah,

763
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: I just it's always it's just like there's always a

764
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: couple of guys, like I mentioned to Cole, like rise

765
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: and fall that that jump up or fall down however

766
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 1: it goes. And I do sometimes think that, like when

767
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 1: you're in it, like when it's combined week and you

768
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: see someone have a great time or a great workout,

769
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,320
Speaker 1: you get a little bit like it's it's like this

770
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: recency biased thing where you like you probably I think

771
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: overplay it a little bit. Like even if you go

772
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: back to that nineteen draft, like I remember, we spent

773
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: a ton of time talking about DK metcalf. I was

774
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: asking like Joe Ortiez about him, and that was like

775
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: he was like one of the biggest talking boys. And

776
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 1: then he went and he ran a great time and

777
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 1: had good workouts, and then he still went late in

778
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 1: the second it was like, well, yeah, but after all

779
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: that he's skyrocketed up the mock draft board, I know

780
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: somehow came way back down. I know it was literally

781
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: like the stock market these days. Yeah, I know that's

782
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: not That's what I'm saying though, So it's like when

783
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,040
Speaker 1: you're in it, like next week, there's gonna be a

784
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: couple of guys who are all of a sudden like

785
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: but I often say this, by the end of by

786
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: the end of the combine, you have fifty first round picks. Yeah,

787
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: fifty guys are mentioned as first round picks, and like

788
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 1: that's that's certainly how it's gonna be again, and you

789
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: have to sort of sift through that. And I do

790
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: give the Ravens. I actually think that's one thing that

791
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: like Eric da Costa and the Ravens front office is

792
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: is just really good at is assessing the value and

793
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: determining like where guys are gonna go. Like I've heard

794
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: stories of like them being in the draft room being like, well,

795
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: this team's gonna take this guy, that team's gonna take

796
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: that guy, and like just being really skilled at at

797
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 1: being able to predict where certain guys go. And I

798
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 1: think that they're good at sifting through like the positive

799
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: you know, the press, the workouts, all that stuff, um

800
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 1: that that we're gonna hear a lot about over the

801
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 1: course in the next week. I'll say this on cornerback,

802
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,280
Speaker 1: you know, we talked about Ringo, Kelly Ringo from Georgia.

803
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: I don't know that the Ravens are like a freak,

804
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 1: freak cornerback kind of drafting team, you know what I mean.

805
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: Like like when he was talking about Ringo and it's like,

806
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: well he's track guy, like great athlete, but you know

807
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 1: the tape out, you know, Like I'm like, no, no, no,

808
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: Like I think they like, you know, physical. I mean,

809
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: he's got to be able to run, right, Marla Humphrey

810
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: can run, But like Marla Humphrey, you wouldn't call him

811
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: like an insanely like he's not a burner, you know,

812
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: a corner um. Like to me, that's kind of more there.

813
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 1: M is like some of these tougher guys. I mean

814
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah and his most recent draft speaking about Alabama corners.

815
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: You know he has another one going to the Ravens

816
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 1: with Brian Branch out of Alabama. So uh, you know,

817
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 1: physical all that stuff, like guys that really have great tape.

818
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: I think if if we're talking about a first round

819
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: corner with the Ravens, which I think is certainly a possibility,

820
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: if it's not wide receiver, I would bet that it

821
00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: would be a corner then like that's I don't know that.

822
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: I'm really looking to the combine to say, Okay, he's

823
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,879
Speaker 1: the most freakish cornerback. That's who the Ravens I think

824
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 1: could take it twenty two. Yeah, that's interesting. I don't know.

825
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if I agree with you on that.

826
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: I feel like when they've taken first round corners, they

827
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: have certainly hit like the the athletic and tangible level,

828
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 1: like im Jimmy Smith, but he was like the size, yes,

829
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,839
Speaker 1: size for sure. And Marlin ran off. I just double

830
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 1: checked it because I was like when he was a

831
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: track star throughout his high school in college career and

832
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: he ran a four four one, which like is it

833
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:36,359
Speaker 1: like the fastest but is very good? Pretty darn good. Yeah,

834
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: and he is like he also was a bigger corner,

835
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: like he's not at all. So I don't know. I

836
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: feel like when they've taken their first round corners, I mean,

837
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: go back to Chris mccalliser, he certainly fit the mold

838
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 1: of a big Jimmy was that way, Marlin was that way.

839
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:52,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's any that I'm missing, but

840
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 1: at the corner position, when they draft those guys early

841
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: they seem to like kind of be the corner that

842
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: you would draw on a lab like good speed, good side.

843
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 1: Jimmy was just like Jimmy was so big. Um, But

844
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, I might be with Coal on that one.

845
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,800
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not rolling out a guy Ringo. Dwayne

846
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 1: Starks is the other one. I knew there's another one

847
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: years the other. Um, yeah, we're gonna I don't know.

848
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,959
Speaker 1: There's a lot wide receiver in corner. It's interesting. There's

849
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: a lot of them that are kind of projected in

850
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: these early mocks in the late first round, you know,

851
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 1: in the twenties is what it seems like. And so

852
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 1: you know, if you're you got to be encouraged about that.

853
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: You know, now, maybe all all those wide receivers go

854
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,800
Speaker 1: right before the Ravens or whatnot. Um, but it's it

855
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:41,320
Speaker 1: seems like I will be interested to see how the

856
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 1: boards stack up amongst the draft analysts after the combine,

857
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: to really see, okay, this one seems like they'll probably

858
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: be there for the Ravens at twenty two, you know

859
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:53,280
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like sorting out the order, the pecking

860
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 1: order of where those guys come in at yeah, totally.

861
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be an interesting week. Um. Obviously, when

862
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: hard Ball at Da Costa meet with the media, they're

863
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 1: gonna get lots of questions from the Nash Indianapolis will

864
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: be whatever they say about Lamar. Yeah, that's gonna be

865
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: a big talking point, without question. On Wednesday again, we'll
