1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Lounge, presented by DraftKings. A wild first

2
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: night of the draft for the Ravens. Holy Moley would

3
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: not have expected that one. Do you have that one?

4
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: You size? Had that one sized up right? Yeah, no doubt.

5
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: I mean this was the obvious. This is obviously how

6
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:21,799
Speaker 1: we all thought I was gonna play out right, no

7
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: question about it. I'll tell you, Gary, you could have

8
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: gotten some good odds in Vegas on that parlay the

9
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton's pick to the Hollywood trade to the title

10
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: of linder Bomb pick. That would have been a nice

11
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: parlay to hit. You could have retired off of that one. Well, seriously,

12
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: I think obviously just a night of a lot of fireworks.

13
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 1: It was funny the Ravens made the trade for they

14
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: made the pick for Kyle Hamilton's and I was sitting

15
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,959
Speaker 1: in the area where the Ravens fans were, who were

16
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: in the inner circle kind of in front of the stage,

17
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: and a fan then says to me, I don't know,

18
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: a minute or two after that pick is made, did

19
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: they trade Hollywood? And I was like, no, I thought

20
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: he I thought he got basically fell into your trap.

21
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,919
Speaker 1: I thought he saw the fake I in rap report

22
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: or the fake chef der account, and that wasn't the case. Obviously,

23
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: the Ravens did trade Hollywood Brown and so it was

24
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: just kind of a chaotic evening, I think from a

25
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: fan standpoint and as we were all watching an unfold.

26
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you this, if you had said going

27
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: into the tonight, the Ravens are going to end up

28
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: with Kyle Hamilton's and Tyler linder Bomb, I honestly would

29
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: have signed up for that ten times out of ten.

30
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I think two of the best players at

31
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: their positions in this draft to the two best players

32
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: at their positions, well for sure. I mean you also

33
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: lost your top wide receiver, So I mean I don't

34
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: think that's lost. Yeah, you got tie linder Bolsa, but

35
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: you lost your top wide receiver. Yeah, so you need

36
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: to look at the totality of it all, of course.

37
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: Um but I'm just just for a second speaking only

38
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: about those two draft picks. I think those draft picks

39
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: are are excellent. I really think think I'm fired up

40
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: about the two of them. Yeah. Absolutely, I mean it's funny.

41
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: You know, in mail Bag this week, we did the

42
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: answer the biggest shocker, what's the biggest shocker that could happen,

43
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: and and my answer was the Ravens pick Kyle Hamilton's

44
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: because it seemed like he was one of the classic

45
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: guys who slides down the board after you run a

46
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: little bit of a slow for you. Right. We've seen

47
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: this before with Terrell Suggs and other guys, right, and

48
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: they kind of slide down. But when you flip on

49
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: the tape, Kyle Hamilton's plenty fast. He's got plenty arrange, right,

50
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: And then you look at it, well, safety isn't necessarily

51
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: like the premiere premiere position, where it's you know, you

52
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: have these run on corners in the first three picks,

53
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: you know, and um, you know generally pass rushers tackles,

54
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: all that stuff, so you have positional value. All that

55
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: stuff comes into play, and then this run on wide

56
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: receivers happens and all of a sudden, Okay, here's Kyle

57
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: Hamilton's who I think mel Keiper has as his fourth

58
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: best player on his big board. Daja Jeremyah I think

59
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: has him fifth. Uh, Dame Brugler has a sixth. I mean,

60
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: here's a top to your guy, top talent that's suddenly

61
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: available for the Ravens at number fourteen and just falls

62
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,839
Speaker 1: into your lap. I mean to me, obviously just way

63
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: too good to pass up. And that kind of applies

64
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: to this entire situation of there being too much value

65
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: for the Ravens to pass up. Yeah, I'm with you

66
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: on that, you know, it's it's interesting. I go back

67
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: to actually a conversation I had with Bucky Brooks back

68
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: of the combine, and I remember talking with him, and

69
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: this was of course before the Ravens had added Marcus Williams,

70
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: and he talked about why he thought Kyle Hamilton could

71
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: be a good pick for the Ravens, and at that time,

72
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: the buzz was kind of like this guy maybe a

73
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: top five pick, and Eric even said tonight, like we

74
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: thought he might be gone around four or five. And

75
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: so I remember kind of saying to Bucky, like you

76
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be there, Like have you been looking

77
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,839
Speaker 1: at any other mock drafts, Like this guy's not gonna

78
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: make it to fourteen, And of course he obviously did.

79
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: And so, like to your point about value, they got

80
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: a ton of it Hamilton's and I think that it

81
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: just kind of it just fits, like that pick fits

82
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: a classic Ravens move in so many ways where it's like,

83
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: I just think, honestly, people are gonna look back in

84
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: a few years and be like, how did Kyle Hamilton's

85
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: gets a fourteen at the Ravens And like no one

86
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: like how did that? Just how did everyone allow that

87
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: to happen? I really feel like that's the type of

88
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: conversation that we'll be having about the Hamilton's pick in

89
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: three years. Yep, yeah, I agree with that. So let's

90
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: stick with it chronologically of how this night played out.

91
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: So let's stay with Hamilton's first of all, I mean, obviously,

92
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: the reason that none of us really saw this one coming,

93
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: Like the funny thing was so we had all these

94
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: stories that we did pre draft. It was like five

95
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: things to know about all these players, so that we'd

96
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: be ready in part from when we picked one of

97
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: those guys, and we did a bunch of them. The

98
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: one guy we didn't do was um So And the

99
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: reason was obviously, you have you just signed Marcus Williams

100
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: and spent a lot of money at that position to

101
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: sign him to be your free safety. And you have

102
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: Chuck Clark, who has been one of the defensive leaders

103
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: the past couple of years, their signal caller, all that stuff.

104
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: So you know, when the the Ravens have a lot

105
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: of needs across the board and across the roster right

106
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: now to address in this draft, safety was not on

107
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,559
Speaker 1: the Bingo card in any round. Like nobody was saying

108
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: they would take a safety, right. I mean, you even

109
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: have depth, You have quality depth there right now, Gini

110
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: stone Tony Jefferson like did not need another safety. But

111
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: sometimes the value is just so good that you can't

112
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: pass it up. And the Ravens defense is so multiple

113
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: and versatile that you you have you find a way

114
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: to make this work where all those three guys can

115
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: be on the field. And John Harwell talked about it.

116
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: You know, the Ravens are no strangers to having three

117
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: safeties on the field at all. You can drop Chuck

118
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: Clark down into the box. You can drop Kyle Hamilton

119
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: in the box. You can use Kyle Hamilton's as a

120
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: primo version of what they envisioned for Jimmy Smith last

121
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: year being a tight end matchup guy, and just say, nah,

122
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: you know what everybody wants to have these receiving tight ends,

123
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: Kelsey's and all these guys the Wallers, Well, here's Kyle

124
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: Hamilton's good luck. Well, yeah, we like our chances. Um,

125
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: so there's a lot of different ways that they can deploy,

126
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: you know, all three of those guys totally. And I

127
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,239
Speaker 1: think that, like when I look at the Hamilton's pick,

128
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: I think it fits the kind of that new era

129
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: of defense. If fit's best player available, he knows for

130
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: the football and like like he's so versatile. Yeah, he's

131
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: kind of like it's this position list like match up

132
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: kind of football and defense. And I remember we you know,

133
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 1: I actually, you know, blow behind the scenes. I sent

134
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: you a message this morning and I said, basically, Kyle

135
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: Hamilton's could be the pick here. So you know, I

136
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: get half credit, right, And my mom, oh, you don't

137
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: get any credit. I called it in mail bag. You

138
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: just read mail bag, which you didn't do. I I

139
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: had said, I don't. I don't read your answers to

140
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: me back. Come on, I only remind um no, I

141
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: I you know, honestly, this is something that we had

142
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: talked about way back when I think there was a

143
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: final drive at some point in this process. Basically like

144
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: could he be the guy that falls because of the position,

145
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: and you know, the slow forty time, like all of

146
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: a sudden, he's there and you don't expect him to

147
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: be there. You're basically like, if Kyle Hamilton's on the

148
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: clock at fourteen, the Ravens are gonna have a very

149
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: interesting conversation. Yeah, and and and I think that you know,

150
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: the Ravens did not get helped by the quarterback run.

151
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: They did get helped by the wide receiver run um

152
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: and when they took Kyle Hamilton's at that time, didn't

153
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: think they needed a wide receiver. That changed about ten

154
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: seconds later. Uh so then you thought, you know that

155
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: that's kind of an interesting kind of subplot of how

156
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: this evening went. Well. It's also interesting to think what

157
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: would have happened, you know, if Jordan Davis was there

158
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: at fourteen, So the Eagles move up, leapfrog the Ravens

159
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: and take Jordan Davis at number thirteen. Obviously I would

160
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: have been right if they had gotten the fourteen. You

161
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: were way off on McDuffie. Would you go in the twenties,

162
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: late twenties, you're way off for McDuffie. I was one

163
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: spot away with Jordan Davis. Now, I do think, actually,

164
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: if Jordan Davis and Kyle Hamilton had been on the board,

165
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: both they would have gone with him. I agree with that,

166
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: I really do. And I think I think basically, you

167
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: know howe Roseman and the guy's up in uh Philly

168
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: must have been just reading all the mock drafts this

169
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: week with everyone saying the Raves were taking Jordan Davis,

170
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: and so they said, we're not messing around and letting

171
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: him get to fourteen. They moved up in front of

172
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: the Ravens because they saw all that buzz and then

173
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a chance. But I don't know for

174
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: a fact that the Ravens are taken Kyle Hamilton's but

175
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: the fact that they thought he was gonna be a

176
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: top five pick, it's a long way from fourteen. I

177
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: don't think anybody was saying that, you know, Jordan Davis

178
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: is gonna be a top five pick on their board, right,

179
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: So I do, and I think that, like I will

180
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: say that in some aspects it is surprising just because

181
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: of the lack of need and Brandon Stevens kind of

182
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 1: does a lot of the things that we're talking about, um,

183
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: and so it was like, well they kind of already

184
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: have that about Yeah, I'll tell you. I'll tell you, like,

185
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: sometimes you see guys in person and you're like, wow,

186
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: he's physically impressive. When I saw Cale Hamilton and met

187
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: him tonight, he is physically impressive. I mean he's tall,

188
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: he's built well, and and just you know, from a

189
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: little perspective, I spent basically ninety minutes kind of with

190
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,599
Speaker 1: him from the time that Ravens picked him until the

191
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: very end of the draft. I was kind of by

192
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: a side, and you could tell that he was really

193
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: excited about coming to Baltimore. He said that when he

194
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 1: was when he was in Baltimore, they basically told him,

195
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: if there's any way you get to fourteen, you're gonna

196
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: be the pick. And he's like, you know, you never know,

197
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: like teams say things and you never like truly know,

198
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: but they did tell him that, and so I thought

199
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: that that was kind of interesting. And he definitely has

200
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: an understanding of Raven's history. He did an interview here

201
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: with Bart scott Um on ESPN Radio, and Bart was

202
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: asking about Ravens defensive tradition, and you know, obviously that's

203
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: something Bart knows well and and Kyle is rattling off

204
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: the names and and he is well aware of that history,

205
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: in that tradition, and I think it means something for

206
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 1: him to step into that. So, um, I think that

207
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: I just think across the board, he's he's going to

208
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: be a terrific fit for this defense. Yeah, he Um.

209
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: Last thing for me on on Kyle Hamilton's he seems

210
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: like a Notre Dame guy. I mean just like serious,

211
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: you know, good guy, seems like a great character, but

212
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: like serious you know, no, there's no fluff there, you

213
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like he seems like a pro already. Yeah,

214
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: he he does, and I mostly agree with that, but

215
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: you know, he did have a little bit more personality

216
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: than I think the kind of the standard what you

217
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: think of, like the Notre Dame guy who's like a

218
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: suit and tie, just super serious. Like he did have

219
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: a little bit, you know, when he did a selfie

220
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: video for us, he dropped the big trust and he

221
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: was like that's probably terrible. Yeah, He's like, that didn't

222
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: sound good, but this is my first one on camera,

223
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna get better at I promise. So he

224
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: had a little bit of that fun personality, which was cool. Um,

225
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: And I think that that will of course come out

226
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: the more he gets comfortable in this defense. All right,

227
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: So let's go to the next piece, which the Hollywood Trade.

228
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: Um listeners probably know this, but Eric co Costa said

229
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: in the press conference afterwards that Hollywood came to him

230
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 1: at the end of the season and requested a trade

231
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: and said he wasn't happy and wanted to play elsewhere.

232
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: So that was the conversation all the way back when

233
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: the season ended, you know, and I thought, yeah, there's

234
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: been a number of conversations, you know. I thought it

235
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: was interesting this offseason. You know, Lamar has been throwing

236
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: with other guys and in Hollywood was never in that mix.

237
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: I found that interesting. I never knew it was there

238
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: any reason for that, but I did find it curious. Um.

239
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: You know, then obviously when he wasn't at workouts, you know,

240
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: voluntary workouts, is there anything to make of that? And

241
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: so all that stuff you just kind of like, is

242
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: what's going on there? And then obviously we saw what

243
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: was going on. What was your take on the trade?

244
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: I mean, surprising just because I don't know, it's just

245
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: such a big move that you don't expect it, right,

246
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: and and surprising in that, you know, he's been the

247
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: leading wide receiver in in terms of production the past

248
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: three years, right, and so, um, you know you're trading

249
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 1: away and and also Lamar's close friend on and off

250
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: the field, right and so, but I think that this

251
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: was a this was coming to a head eventually anyway, right,

252
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: Like we were all kind of talking about, Okay, well,

253
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: you know, do the Ravens pick up the fifth year option?

254
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: And then you know, Eric Cosson was basically made that

255
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: clear that they would. Um. Now you know he had

256
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: a trade request on his desk at the time, but um,

257
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: you know, eventually, Hollywood was gonna have to be paid.

258
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: And we've seen what's happened this offseason with the explosion

259
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: of wide receiver values and what these guys are getting paid.

260
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: You know, teams are basically saying, nah, like I'm just

261
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: gonna start over the position and take a kid out

262
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: of school, uh and and try to get you know,

263
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna be much cheaper and try to get early

264
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: production out of him. Because these wide receivers come to

265
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 1: the NFL more prepared. Ortiz talked about that with us yesterday.

266
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: And so that isn't necessarily what happened in this situation,

267
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: because it wasn't like the Ravens. You know, they weren't

268
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: seemingly at the table for a contract, and the Ravens said, no,

269
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: we're not gonna pay you. This was just Hollywood being

270
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: not satisfied really with his role or whatever it is.

271
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: You know, in this offense, no bones about it. This

272
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: is a run based offense. You know, we have a

273
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: the Ravens have a quarterback that uh, what he's most

274
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: known for, what it what makes him mostly unique is

275
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: his running ability, you know, Lamar Kent or the deep ball,

276
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: certainly we've seen it. He's improved as a passer, but

277
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: you know he's not known for being a deep ball passer, right,

278
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: And that Ravens offense isn't that Kyler Murray and the

279
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: Cardinals offense is much more that, right. It's it's throw

280
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: the ball and we're going deep on you. Right. And

281
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: like I feel like, certainly it's not a surprise that

282
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: Hollywood feels like you know, we've all said it at times,

283
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 1: like what numbers would Hollywood Brown put up in somebody

284
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: else's offense. It'd probably better than when he's putting here, right.

285
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: And he sees these guys getting paid, and he's like,

286
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: man if I'm going to get that kind of contract.

287
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: I gotta go somewhere where I can I can really

288
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: fulfill my potential. And that's probably that's me reading into

289
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: what probably Marquise was thinking with that trade request. As

290
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: much as it hurts to leave his friend Lamar and

291
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: an organization like ours, you know, right, I'm sure that

292
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: he probably had mixed feelings on it, just as the

293
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: Ravens had mixed feelings making the move. And Eric I

294
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: think he called it a complicated situation. Um, and he

295
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: goes there where I think he will put up big numbers.

296
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna play with DeAndre Hopkins and Kyler Murray,

297
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: his college teammate who he's got a great rapport with,

298
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: you know, like the only quarterback in the NFL who

299
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: we may be closer with is Kyler Lamar's Kylin Murray.

300
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: So he gets to be with his good friend also,

301
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: and I do think he'll put up a ton of

302
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: production there and and maybe get a big contract. And

303
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: you're seeing the deals, you know, the receiver market has

304
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: exploded this offseason. It's really shaking up the NFL and

305
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: and a lot of these guy is it's just wild

306
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: that you have the top guys, some of the top

307
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: guys from that twenty nineteen class all moving around. A. J.

308
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: Brown gets traded tonight to Philly, the Deebo Samuel thing.

309
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: Could he may end up getting traded at some point,

310
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: we'll see. And then Hollywood gets traded. There's been rumors.

311
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: There's been rumors about Metcalf. So it's just like that

312
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: whole class is just moving around, um and it just continues.

313
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: I think the most the wildest NFL offseason that I

314
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: can remember, in terms of all the different moving pieces.

315
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: It's it's just crazy Sons to get a first round

316
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: pickback for that, you know, I mean they spent with

317
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: the what was it on Hollywood something like? I mean, yeah, right,

318
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: I think I think Hollywood might have been twenty five,

319
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: and then you get twenty two for it. You know,

320
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: you give up your third in the process, but you

321
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: have three years of late Yeah, but he plays for

322
00:15:55,240 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: three years, you know, which is so to to swap that.

323
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: It just continues that the theme of value that you

324
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: were talking about of this entire draft. So you get

325
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: great value for that pick. I think that is a

326
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: win for the Ravens, especially if you feel like this

327
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: is a trade that's going to have to happen, and

328
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: and then you turn that into linder bomb, which I

329
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: know we'll get to here in a second. And I

330
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: think that that's a good thing. The last thing I'll

331
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: say in Hollywood is, you know, we talked about him,

332
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: and I think he will be productive there and it

333
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: does leave, you know, a void in this Ravens offense.

334
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: And now it's like, all right, Rust Bateman, you know,

335
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: your first round pick last year, step on up your

336
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: wide receiver one, buddy. He he showed flashes last year

337
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: and I think we all like what we saw from him.

338
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: But man, there's gonna be a lot on his shoulders,

339
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Yeah for sure. I mean I

340
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: think you know, the Ravens probably look at it too.

341
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: Is you know, Mark Andrews is a glorified wide receiver basically,

342
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: you know, especially if they get tight end help via

343
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: the draft or whatnot. You know, you really throw to

344
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: him like he's a wider receivers. So you still have

345
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: targets certainly for Lamar Jackson, you know. And then as

346
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: Eric Costa said, they could draft somebody here to to

347
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: compliment the wide receiver room. I expect that they will.

348
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:13,959
Speaker 1: It'll probably be by a guy that I took him

349
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 1: my draft. But Milton, who runs a four three four,

350
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: I was already kind of saw the writing on the wall.

351
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 1: Let's get a speed stir in here and uh, you know,

352
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: or they could address it in free agency. Plus, you

353
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: have these young guys, you know, the Ravens drafted to

354
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: wide receivers what each of the past four years, I

355
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: think it is um So, you know, you have a

356
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: Devin Duverney that I'd like to see, they'd like to

357
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: see more of. I'd like to see more of Tylan Wallace,

358
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: James Parchet. You know, you have young guys now, I

359
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: think you're kind of looking for you need a starter.

360
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: Maybe Devin Dournet is that guy. But like you said,

361
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: that's a pretty big hold to to fill. Um. So

362
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: the Ravens have some work to do. But this is

363
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: a run based offense, you know. And how many really

364
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: stellar wide receivers do you need? You know what I mean?

365
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: That's the question. Now now the clip side and people

366
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 1: are gonna say, people are gonna say, well, now you

367
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: just took away Lamar's one of the Lamar's greatest weapons.

368
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: How do you expect Lamar to take the next step

369
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: as a pastor, like everybody wants to see. But you

370
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: just took away his best buddy and one of his

371
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: top weapons. Well yeah, and I think that the answer

372
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: is you're gonna get back to having the ability to

373
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: beat people up on the ground. And when Lamar was

374
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: at his best Twain nineteen, you were able to get

375
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: you know, six yards of pop every time he handed

376
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: the ball off to mark Ingram. And now you're gonna

377
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: have Tyler linder Bomb in the middle of your offensive line.

378
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 1: And you're gonna have Frannie Stanley hopefully back at left

379
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 1: tackle and Marca Moses at right tackle. And now this

380
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: offensive line I think is looking really good. I mean

381
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: linder Bomb like I think, you know, there was talk

382
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: of him at fourteen. I think we felt like that

383
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: would be too early, which it obviously was, just given

384
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: his position. Um. But if you can if you can

385
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: add a center, and and you know, I talked to

386
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: Charles david Us and he pointed out Cree Humphrey, you know,

387
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs and what he did. Um. And if

388
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: you can add a dominant center, it can change your

389
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: entire offensive line and everything that you hear about lender

390
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 1: Bomb is he's a dominant center. So the offensive line

391
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: has been upgraded, I think this offseason with the additional

392
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,719
Speaker 1: lender Bomb and Morgan Moses and and hopefully Ronnie Stanley

393
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: back to full strength, all of a sudden, that's a

394
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: good that's a really good offensive line that you got

395
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: right guard and then the left guard. Now you have

396
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: McCarry competing with Bank Cleveland and you know, Tyree Phillips,

397
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: and that's a good competition. It's pretty good. It's a

398
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: pretty good offensive line. And I just think that if

399
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: you're able to get back to having the kind of

400
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: success that they had on the ground in nineteen, that's

401
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: going to open up opportunities through the air. Lamar had

402
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: Hollywood really is his top wide receiver and not a

403
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: whole lot behind that. So you basically say, well, Bateman

404
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: is the Hollywood and you hope, uh, Bateman kind of

405
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: fits the Raven offense a little bit more than Hollywood,

406
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: did you know? And what Lamar likes to do, you

407
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:05,959
Speaker 1: know what I mean, like just a little bit more

408
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: run after catch ability. I think then what we've seen

409
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: from Hollywood. You know, one thing we've talked about is

410
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: with Hollywood is you didn't really get a lot of

411
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 1: those pool away long touchdown after runs after catches like

412
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: you were hoping when the Ravens drafted him. And and

413
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: Hollywood has been pretty clear that his speed after the

414
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: Liz Frank never really returned to the point that it

415
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: was in college. Um, and so you know he he

416
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: wasn't these days in the NFL. You see run after

417
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: catches so important. Uh. And he didn't offer a ton

418
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: in that. It got improved this past year, but it

419
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: wasn't great. Um. Bateman I think offers a little bit

420
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: more in that. So you hope that Bateman can become

421
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 1: what Hollywood was in for this offense, but better. Yeah. Um.

422
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: And with linder Bomb, I'll just say, you know, kind

423
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 1: of to your point. You know, we had talked about

424
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: I don't think the Ravens say lender Bomb fourteen. You know,

425
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 1: he's just not a fit. They said they like big centers,

426
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 1: he's a zone scheme guy, all this stuff. But I

427
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: think both of us also had said, sure, if you

428
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: trade back like that, linder Mom could be a trade

429
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: back opportunity, right, Like, I'm fine with that because he's

430
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 1: just that good, right, Like, he's good enough to sure

431
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: maybe the a zone a zone blocking scheme might have

432
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: been the best fit for him, but a run heavy

433
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: scheme in Baltimore, he's gonna like that too, and he'll

434
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: still move people for you. Um So I think once again,

435
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 1: the value was just too good. This is a center

436
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: that some people have said is a generational type, best

437
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: center to come out in years type of player, and

438
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: the Ravens got him at twenty five. Sure, And going

439
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: back to that conversation with Charles Davis, he made the

440
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: point he thought he was worthy of the pick at fourteen,

441
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: you know, and you know that's just one analyst opinion,

442
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: but I thought that was telling as in terms of

443
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 1: his opinion about linder Bam and just how good he is.

444
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: And I think that that opinion you know of of

445
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: lender Bomb's potential is shared by most everyone, uh in

446
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: terms of assessing what he's going to be able to

447
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: do at the next level. So you know, look, I

448
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 1: think like the way I look at this this night

449
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: and come away with it is going back to what

450
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: I said at the beginning. I think that the lender

451
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: Bomb and the Hamilton's pick I just really like them.

452
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: I think you've got truly best player available at each

453
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: of those spots, you've got guys that can be plug

454
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: and play guys and and basically starters for your team

455
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: the foreseeable future. Um, that you didn't expect Cayl Hamilton

456
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton's to be there. And I don't know if

457
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: you would have said, is linder Bomb gonna make it

458
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: to twenty six, like at the beginning of the night, Like,

459
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: would you have definitely just said that, Uh maybe I

460
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: think you would have said maybe maybe he does, But

461
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: I don't think you would have been like, help be there,

462
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: no question. So I think you've got great value. You

463
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: address the need with linder Bomb, and I just think

464
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: that those picks are gonna be guys that are gonna

465
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 1: be foundational players for this team game for for a

466
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: long time now. You can't you don't feel you feel

467
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: a little bit that the excitement is tempered a bit

468
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: because you also lost your best you know, your your

469
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:12,959
Speaker 1: number one receiver and a guy that was a popular

470
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: player on this team. And so it's like you just

471
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: kind of have this weird feeling as you're like looking

472
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: at this draft, um and this night. But overall, I

473
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: just think that you have to feel I feel good

474
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 1: about where this takes the Ravens moving forward. Yeah, especially

475
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: long term. Remember when you're factoring in how much long

476
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: ago is marqu He's going to be here anyway? Were

477
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 1: you gonna be able to pay them? You know, when

478
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: you're factoring in these long term decisions on top of

479
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: a trade request on your desk, right, So that's a

480
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: big factor. Uh, let's remind you that the sports landscape

481
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: is ever changing. In this week is no different. Draft Kings,

482
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: the leader in daily fantasy sports, still has daily fantasy

483
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: contests running for those looking to have skin in the game.

484
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: It's simple. Each player has a salary associated with drafting

485
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: them as them will the lineup of players while staying

486
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: under the cellar cap, and then sit back and watch

487
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: your points pile up. Now that you know how to play,

Speaker 1: You did? You did? You did a nice job. You

494
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: took over my job. Um so look I think it's

495
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 1: gonna be a busy weekend still ahead. I think the

496
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: Ravens will will knock off some meed picks, you know

497
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: when it'll be just a cornerback and maybe an edge dress. Yeah,

498
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 1: I think that that could happen. Also, suddenly, wide receiver.

499
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: Does that happen over the course of the next Uh?

500
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: Does that happen on day two? Do we get a

501
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 1: wide receiver? I think that there was a potential for

502
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: that as well. And also as Ravens have six now

503
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: six count on fourth round picks, we'll see if there's

504
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 1: any more movement that continues. They've already made uh two

505
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 1: trades already. Let's just trade the entire fourth round and

506
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 1: just go get George Pickens. All right, there, you go.

507
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: Run that idea of to Eric. I'm sure he's up

508
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: there talking about it right now. George Pickens, though looking

509
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: awfully tempted right now, just gonna put it, just gonna sick,

510
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: but we need a quarter to Kyler Gordon, my board

511
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: is still looking pretty good. My board is still looking

512
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: pretty good. Feeling feeling strong. Anyway, yours is yours done?

513
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: Your seven round box? Just stick a fork in it.

514
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: You're done. You're doing. Thanks for listening. You can tell
