1 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: Welcome into Lounge presented by DraftKings. I'm Ryan mink here 2 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 1: with Garrett Downing and we are just inside a month 3 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: till the NFL Draft. So today we're gonna talk about 4 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,920 Speaker 1: some of our favorite prospects in this year's class. We 5 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,080 Speaker 1: haven't yet put pen to paper in terms of our 6 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: seven round mock draft, which we will. We'll keep working 7 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: on that. Yeah, I gotta keep minkering. We got some pencil. 8 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: You have some players in pencil. My first round pick 9 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 1: might be in pen But today we're just you know, 10 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 1: this is when you start to pick out guys that 11 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: you like. You watch the tape, you break it all down, 12 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 1: you hear from the pundits and analysts, and you start 13 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:43,919 Speaker 1: to get some favorites. So that's what we're gonna talk 14 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 1: about today. And Garrett, let's start with the first round 15 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:48,880 Speaker 1: and I'll let you kick it off. 16 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 2: Well, I'll start with one who is the most popular 17 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 2: Mick draft projection, and I think that both of us 18 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 2: are really high on him. And this is what you 19 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 2: I think we're alluding to when you were talking about 20 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 2: guys in pencil. Maybe you know out getting the pen 21 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 2: you're taking you're taking the cap off the pen cab 22 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 2: is off, the cap is off, you're ready to maybe 23 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 2: put this one down for your mock draft at number fourteen, 24 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 2: and that's Penn State's vega Ione offensive guards six four 25 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 2: to three hundred and twenty pounds. I think that he 26 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 2: just fits what you want as a plug and play 27 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,759 Speaker 2: starter at that position. A lot of people, including Daniel Jeremiah, 28 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 2: believe that he's the best offensive lineman in the draft. 29 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 2: And if you have the chance to get the best 30 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 2: offensive lineman it picked number fourteen at a position of need, 31 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 2: at a big position of need, wouldn't that be a 32 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 2: home run? And that is something I think the Ravens 33 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 2: Ione is going right or in that range like he's 34 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 2: he's right, I think probably in that twelve to twenty range. 35 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 2: And so I think that there's a decent shot that 36 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 2: he's on the board for the Ravens And I think 37 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 2: that he's a player that gives you a really high floor. 38 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 2: I just have a hard time seeing him coming to 39 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 2: the NFL and not be a good starter as a 40 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 2: as a baseline, and then how high he goes from 41 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 2: there is the question. But I think for all those reasons, 42 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 2: it just feels like he's a player that's easy to like, 43 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 2: easy to root for, and you think you could come 44 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 2: in and patch an immediate hole and do it at 45 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 2: a super high level. 46 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. I really like him. I love the physicality that 47 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: he plays the game with. I think he'd be a 48 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: tone setter on the Ravens offensive line. And and that's 49 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: what I think that they need. They need. They need 50 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: more guys up front who are gonna kind of establish 51 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: the Ravens dominance in the trenches. And been rock solid 52 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: as a run blocker, been rock solid as a pass blocker. 53 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: You know. The questions about him are about lateral ability, 54 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: movement skills, how much can he pool and be kind 55 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: of one of the stretch zone run schemes. When I 56 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: watch him, I see him moving pretty darn well. Yeah. 57 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: But above all, I mean, it's a power game and 58 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 1: I think that he would definitely give the Ravens kind 59 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 1: of re establish that in the front there. And I 60 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 1: like the way that he talks about playing the game, 61 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: about how he wants to he wants to beat people 62 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: up out there. You know, he wants to play violent. 63 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: This guy talks and plays like a Raven and so 64 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: and he's just an established guard. There's talk about Spencer Fane, 65 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: who was a tackle prospect out of Utah and whether 66 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,959 Speaker 1: he could be the pick of fourteen because people see 67 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 1: him as a good guard, maybe even a great center. 68 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: You know, that's that's all projection, And I get it. 69 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: The NFL draft is a projection business. That's what you're 70 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: doing with every single player. But there's less projection with 71 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 1: Vega because he's done it at guard at a high 72 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,839 Speaker 1: level for three years, you know, and so I kind 73 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 1: of like more of a sure bed at fourteen. 74 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: You talk about the movement piece, like how does he move? 75 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 2: There was a play against UCLA where he was lined 76 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 2: up in slot at the slot position. They brought it 77 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 2: kind of a funky formation. They bring him out and 78 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 2: he comes across the backfield and absolutely lit up the defense. 79 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: Oh he'll destroy people. 80 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, so move pretty well on that play? Yeah. 81 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: I mean I think that he moves well. I think 82 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: that he's just more known for his power game. That's 83 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: his calling card. And so but to me, he does 84 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: it all. I mean, people are saying that he's the 85 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: best pure guard prospect since Quentin Nelson, who went number 86 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: six overall I believe for Indianapolis Colts and has been 87 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: a just to write him in as a perennial All 88 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: Pro every year he's healthy. So if you have an 89 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: ability to get that guy at fourteen, I know the 90 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: position value, positional value, that's gonna be the debate, and 91 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: that's gonna be the reason why he's there at fourteen. 92 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: But if you get the best offensive lineman in the 93 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: draft at fourteen, that's pretty good value to me. 94 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about it. And I do wonder, like, 95 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 2: especially seeing the contract that Tyler Lindenbaum just got as 96 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 2: a center. We had a lot of the same conversations 97 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 2: going into that draft about positional value. Do you take 98 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 2: a center that high? They took Linderbaum later than fourteen, 99 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 2: but he just got a contract that totally blew away 100 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 2: the center market. And so like we've seen the gap 101 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 2: between left tackle and right tackle shrink, now we're seeing 102 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 2: the gap in terms of payment for those guys. Now 103 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 2: we're seeing the gap between tackle and center shrink. And 104 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 2: so I just wonder, like, are we are teams from 105 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 2: a value standpoint, like looking at just the offensive line collectively, 106 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 2: Like I know tackles are still paid higher than guards 107 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 2: just generally speaking, but I just wonder if that's shrinking. 108 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 2: And as you play that out over the course of 109 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 2: the next decade, do we see more contracts for guards 110 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 2: and centers like what Tyler Linnenbaum got And you kind 111 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 2: of look at the offensive line just as an overall puzzle, 112 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 2: and you're not seeing the big disparity between tackles and guards. 113 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's fair. You look at the past 114 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: two Super Bowl winners too. You look at the Seahawks 115 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: and the Eagles, and how did they win those games? 116 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: Some of those interior defensive linemen just eight and so 117 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: you've got to be able to defend against that too, right, 118 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: I mean, those interior blockers can can be the difference 119 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,679 Speaker 1: in winning or losing the Super Bowl. 120 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 2: Who the Seahawks take in the first round last. 121 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: Year, Yeah, exactly. It took guard Gray's Abel exactly. And 122 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: so we talked about Jesse Minner following the past, you know, yeah, uh, 123 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: and so Mike McDonald's so let's just do it in 124 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: the draft as well. 125 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. So both of us are high on vega Ione 126 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 2: and it's like, I think that there's a decent shot 127 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 2: that he's there because of despite us talking about all 128 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 2: of this and how he could be the best lineman 129 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 2: in the draft and all that stuff. I still think 130 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 2: that guard prospects usually aren't going in the top ten, 131 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 2: and so I think that they're. 132 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: And there's not a team with it as obvious of 133 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: a need at guard as the Ravens half right in 134 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: front of them. 135 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 2: So so if he's there, I think gives the Ravens 136 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 2: a lot to think about and I think it'd be 137 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 2: a really good pick for the for them at that spot. 138 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 2: All right, I'll give you another guy that I'm really 139 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 2: high on. Then I'm excited about. Uh, I don't know 140 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 2: if he's going to be there. The rest of these 141 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 2: guys are more of a question to me, is like 142 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 2: the the love. I always tend to follow over these 143 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 2: guys that are like are they gonna make it? And 144 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 2: so if they make it, then I'm like thrilled. I 145 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 2: don't really like to to to settle, you know, you 146 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 2: want to you want to shoot for the stars, right, 147 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 2: And one one of those guys is Mansor Delaying Cornerback 148 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 2: from LSU see on your list, because he should be. 149 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: He's from soil Spring is so shink Kit that's my 150 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: neck of the woods. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Oh I have 151 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,239 Speaker 1: that circled. Ohka, don't worry. 152 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's the main thing for you. But comes 153 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 2: from LSU cornerback Factory, Like that's a place that knows 154 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 2: how to produce defensive backs six to one, one hundred 155 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 2: eighty seven pounds, just like exactly what you're looking for 156 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 2: in a really solid press corner, smooth moves really well, 157 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 2: like I think everybody looks at him and says, this 158 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 2: is a clear starting, this is a clear cornerback one, 159 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 2: and pretty soon he could be a top ten corner 160 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 2: in football. 161 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean he's very polished. I mean the crazy 162 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: stat on him is he allowed ten completions all of 163 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: last season for one hundred and nineteen yards. Yeah, that's absurd. 164 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: Yeah right, this is uh you know, played an arch 165 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: Archbishop Spaulding. Yeah, you're outside of Baltimore, and so we. 166 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 2: Got the hometown story. 167 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: Exactly got the hometown story. I just he's just the 168 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: top cornerback in this class. In my opinion. Usually the 169 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: top corner doesn't last till fourteen. But you look at 170 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: the mock drafts and he's any you know, he's in 171 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: those kind of ten to fourteen range a little higher, 172 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: and at that point it's possible. It's possible that he 173 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: could get there. For the Ravens, the need isn't as 174 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: obvious at cornerback because you have your two starters, really 175 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: three starters in Nate Wiggins, Marlon Humphrey and then re 176 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: signing Cheetoh ouzya. You have three starting corners already, But 177 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: what's Marlin's long term future? Cheetoh's on a one year deal. 178 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: You know. The Ravens usually like to get ahead of 179 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: things at corner and not be stuck, and so manswar 180 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: you know, when they drafted Marlon, corner wasn't the top 181 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: need on the board, yep, And that's pretty darn good pick. 182 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 2: Same with when they drafted Wiggins exactly. 183 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: So if mansor Delaney gets there, I think you have 184 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: a tough pick. 185 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 2: Correct me if I'm wrong here. But as I go 186 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 2: back through the history, first round corners, they did it 187 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 2: with Wiggins, they did it with Marlon, and then Jimmie 188 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 2: Smith was the one before that. Am I missing anybody? 189 00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 2: And in each of those situations it wasn't the most 190 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 2: pressing need. Jimmy Smith at the time, like took him 191 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 2: a while to get on the field. Now he was 192 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 2: hurt a lot at his rookie season. 193 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: But like opening kick off. 194 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, like he missed a lot of time for injury, 195 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 2: but like even his first two seasons, uh, he was 196 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 2: used kind of more as rotational than just come in 197 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 2: and play every snap as a starting cornerback right and 198 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 2: and Marlin similarly kind of took him a little bit 199 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 2: of time to really crack into that starting lineup, and 200 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 2: they had starters who were established at the time and 201 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 2: staying with Wiggins, and so it could be a similar 202 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 2: situation where you, if you just feel like he's the 203 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 2: best corner, you can get him at that spot. I 204 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 2: I honestly wonder with him, if it's like you get 205 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 2: to ten eleven, would he be a consider trade up 206 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 2: guy for I doubt it because if you if you 207 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 2: feel like you're if the Ravens feel like he's the 208 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 2: best corner in the draft and we like to address, 209 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 2: we like to get ahead of it, like you talked about, 210 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 2: and you think you could get him at that spot, 211 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 2: it's rare that the Ravens are drafting this high to 212 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 2: even have a shot at getting the best co If 213 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 2: you can move up a few spots and get him, 214 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 2: would you consider doing that? I think that I just 215 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 2: put that middle asterix like is he a trade up guy? 216 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: Another player that I put in that same category would 217 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: be Ruben Bain from Miami, And there's been a lot 218 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: of it feels like there's a lot of Ravens fans 219 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: and pundits to it, kind of the you know, cross 220 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: your fingers in hope mode that he drops and with 221 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: the whole shorter arms than than average. You know, hey, 222 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: does does that make him fall? Does that he become 223 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: the next Kyle Hamilton that the Ravens get at fourteen? 224 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 1: Who's just a steal? I'll rewind to the first time 225 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: I saw the Rubyen Bain like highlights and watching some 226 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: of the college football playoffs. I was like, that dude 227 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 1: plays like a raven. Like there's just some guys it 228 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: screams raven to you. Ruby Bain is one of those dudes. 229 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: I mean, physical hustles, the motor, all of that, you know. 230 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: And then even hearing his interviews at his pro day 231 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 1: and hearing them at the combine, the way he talks 232 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: about how how much he loves football, likee just this 233 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: dude just feels to me like a Raven. And but 234 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna get there. I think that 235 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: he's just too much of a dog. He had a 236 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: great pro day. I think he's gonna kind of break 237 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: the mold and people are going to take a chance 238 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: on the guy who's had high level production. I mean, 239 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: you're talking twenty and a half sacks over the past 240 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: three years. He was a monster in the playoffs with 241 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: five sacks and four games. Like, I think he goes 242 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: before fourteen, but I really like him. 243 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, Ruben Bain, when a verse came out of my 244 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 2: radar was when Miami knock O'hio State out of the 245 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 2: college football playoff. He was a dominant player in that 246 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 2: game and basically short circuit of that offense in that game, 247 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 2: and I was like, man, would be nice to have 248 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 2: this player on the Ravens and thinking of that at 249 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 2: the time, and you look like, h in no way, 250 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 2: he's the top five pick. And then in this process 251 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 2: as it goes along, Honestly, some other players, notably from 252 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 2: Ohio State, have helped themselves with combine performances like Sonny 253 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 2: Styles who performed out of this world and RL Reese 254 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 2: had ad you know has He's both of those guys 255 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 2: who were more like, oh, they're probably in that top 256 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 2: ten range, have seemed to firmly implant themselves as top 257 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 2: eight pick. 258 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: And then there's Texas texts David Baile. 259 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 2: David Bailey is another one who's gonna be a top 260 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 2: ten pick, maybe second overall. 261 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 1: So the question is kind of how do team stack 262 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: that up? Where does Ruben Bain come in. Is he 263 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: at the bottom of that tier or the top? You know, 264 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: I mean there's talk after his pro day could he 265 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: go number two overall to the Jets? You might go 266 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: that high. I'd be a little surprised, but maybe. And 267 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: so I don't know. It'll be interesting to see. And 268 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 1: some teams are just gonna have trepidations about that arm 269 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: length and be concerned. I mean, it's rare to draft 270 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: the guy with that length of arms in the first round. Yeah, 271 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 1: at pass rusher, and teams are some teams might be 272 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: concerned about that and any hesitation with such a high pick, 273 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: they're gonna say, I'll take the next guy on my list. 274 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, nine and half sacks last year, fifteen and a 275 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 2: half tackles for loss six two two sixty three. Look, 276 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 2: if you can add him to this defense that all 277 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 2: of a sudden, you're starting to feel like, Okay, we 278 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 2: got him and Trey Hendrickson and Mike Green and Tavius Robinson. 279 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 2: To me that that outside linebacker group is looking really 280 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 2: solid if you're able to add him to that collection. 281 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 2: And I'm kind of with you that it's probably we're 282 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 2: probably daydreaming a little bit, but I think it's the 283 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 2: daydream seems to have like come to more of a 284 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 2: reality in the past month. It seems that like this 285 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 2: could actually, this could happen. It didn't seem like such 286 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 2: a far cry to where we were at the end 287 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 2: of the season. All Right, another guy that I'll give you, 288 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,199 Speaker 2: and this is a little bit unique. I really love 289 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 2: the player. I don't know if it would be the 290 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 2: verymus would do it at fourteen. Is Jeremiah Love the 291 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 2: running back out of Notre Dame, Okay, big guy, six foot, 292 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 2: two hundred and twelve pounds. To comp on him as 293 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 2: Jamir Gibbs, he's worked out pretty well. Thirteen hundred rushing yards, 294 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 2: eighteen touchdowns last years last season, four three six forty, 295 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 2: big fast, can do it all. He's just a great 296 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 2: running back. And if you can get him at fourteen, 297 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 2: like the Ravens already have a stud running back obviously, 298 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 2: and Derrick Henry, so I honestly would be surprised if 299 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 2: they were to take him. But we're talking about players 300 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 2: that I love, and just on the surface, Jared I 301 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 2: love is a guy that. 302 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: Come on, yeah, I mean home run threat. He could 303 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: he could be the next great running back to come 304 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: through this league. And so yeah, I'd be surprised. I 305 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: just I just think that the Ravens where they sit 306 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: as a team, with the aspirations that they have with 307 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry being on the team, and how much of 308 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: a load he's going to carry. To me, You're just 309 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: you're you're close to being right back in the playoffs 310 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: and and giving it, you know, maybe going to the 311 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: super Bowl. Now, So like, do you want to spend 312 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: a pick at running back where you already have Derrick Henry? 313 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 2: That's the question. It's not just running back, it's like, 314 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 2: do you want to take a backup running back and 315 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 2: pick number fourteen that he seems so. 316 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: Exactly right exactly and so especially you have some other 317 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: needs that could help you get over the top, and 318 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: and uh so I would find it unlikely, But yeah, 319 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: I love them. The player's great, and so it's like 320 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: that he worked out the Lions had a pretty nasty 321 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: one two punch. You mentioned Jamiir Gibbs, Jamara Gibbs and 322 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: Dave Montgomery did some work for them. Yeah, and so 323 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: could you have that with Derek Henry and Jeremiah Love Yo, 324 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: it will be an elite tandem. 325 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 2: So it would be a scary good backfield. I think that, 326 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 2: like there's for all the reasons that it would be 327 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 2: a little bit surprising if they did it. But the 328 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 2: player is great. I think he's such a good player 329 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 2: that it at least would force you to take about it. 330 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, this is one that I'll be interested 331 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: to hear your take on wide receiver Jordan Tyson out 332 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: of Arizona State. And I tell you there's some things 333 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: that concern you. You know, the injury history there with him. 334 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: Had a major knee injury in twenty twenty two, broken 335 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: clavical in twenty twenty four. I throw that out, and 336 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: now recurring hamstring injury, which I don't like hammys, especially 337 00:15:55,440 --> 00:16:00,040 Speaker 1: once they just linger. But godlye, you flip on the 338 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: the highlights of this guy and look, premiere, premier player. 339 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: I mean people are saying he's he's a Marii Cooper 340 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: junior junior junior, And I mean you go to twenty 341 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: twenty Mary Cooper the thow, you go to his stats 342 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: in twenty four, I mean seventy five for eleven hundred 343 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: yards and ten touchdowns. I mean, when he's been on 344 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: the field and everybody knows he's the balls coming to 345 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: him and he's still getting open. I mean, natural catcher, 346 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: can play above the rim, tough dude. You see him 347 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: running slants all day long, you know, physical run after catch, 348 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: just a ball. I don't like his receiver, coach, would 349 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: you say I don't like his receivers. 350 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 2: That's that's a call him in the in the negative category. 351 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: So I just I just feel like, you know, Ravens 352 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: fans have been looking for this kind of big ax. 353 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: You know, this this guy who can go out there 354 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: and a big body, go up and make plays, contested catches, 355 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: all those things, but also has the speed in the 356 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: athleticism to make big plays after the catch. I think 357 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: that Jordan Tyson is a pretty interesting option there. 358 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the injury history gives you pause, and 359 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 2: so you're a little bit makes me a little bit nervous. 360 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 2: You'd have to get good checks on that. I will 361 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 2: point out that they hit like Jackson Smith and Jabu 362 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 2: coming out of college had some major injury question because 363 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 2: he basically didn't play his last season with a nagging 364 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 2: hamstring injury. That that was the conversation at that point. 365 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 2: And obviously he's worked out okay. So sometimes you have 366 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 2: something that feels like this is going to be a 367 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 2: major problem and then it turns out to be this 368 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 2: was a college thing, and they get with NFL trainers 369 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 2: and NFL weight staff and you're able to alleviate the 370 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 2: problem exactly. So the medical checks are going to be 371 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 2: important on him. I think the talent is there for sure. 372 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 2: I kind of come back to like, how big of 373 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 2: a how big of a need is it? Kind of 374 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 2: similar to the question we had at running back the 375 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 2: Daves wanted to add another receiver. I would think, I 376 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 2: like Tess Walker and what I've seen from him, But 377 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 2: you have your top two receivers and Zay and Bateman, 378 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 2: and so do you are you using the fourteenth pick 379 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 2: on a number three receiver. 380 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: I think the need is greater wide receiver than it 381 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 1: is at running back. I agree with it, And I 382 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: think that if you go three wide, I love to 383 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: see what Declan Doyle could do with Zay Bait and 384 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:22,959 Speaker 1: Jordan Tyson. 385 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, it'd be exciting. 386 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: I mean think it's a great talk about giving Lamar 387 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 1: Jackson weapons and given this offense weapons that would be 388 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: a weapon. And you go, I honestly think Vega Jordan Tyson, 389 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: if they're both on the board, which way do you go? 390 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: You know, you think about is how much of a 391 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,719 Speaker 1: weapon is a guard? You know? Now, of course it's 392 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,640 Speaker 1: a different conversation. You got to show up the trenches 393 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 1: and that's a very high. 394 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh's quote, Yeah, I feel like offense line in 395 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 2: our weapons. 396 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, and so but I'm just saying the talent 397 00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 1: there would be alluring. 398 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, the talent is a warn. I think it's it's 399 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 2: an injury question. Danie Jeremia made the point where we 400 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 2: talked to him, he had some concentration drops, you know. 401 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 2: And but like a lot of guys. 402 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: To Nathaniel Jeremi have put Jordan Tyson on his list 403 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: of some of the one of the most polarizing prospects 404 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: in this year's draft. So it's interesting to where do 405 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 1: the Ravens fall in that. Yeah, you know, do they 406 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: really love this guy or not so much? I don't know. 407 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 1: I really I when I watch him on tape, I 408 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: love the talent. I love the player. 409 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, the talent is hard to look away from and 410 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 2: feel like you could get a dynamic playmaker at that spot. 411 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,239 Speaker 2: Hard to pass that up. I think it comes down 412 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 2: to need and then the injury questions are a big 413 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 2: piece of it. 414 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: Yep. Another weapon that I want to mention is Kenny 415 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: and Sadiq, the tight end out out of Oregon. We 416 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: all know the Ravens and their tight end needs this guy. 417 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: I mean, he's one of the better pass catchers in 418 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: the draft fifty one catches for five sixty and eight 419 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: touchdowns last season. I also really like him as a blocker. 420 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,959 Speaker 1: I mean you look at the competitiveness and his desire 421 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 1: to put dudes on their back and then tell them 422 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 1: that he put them on their back. See that a 423 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: lot of that, and you know, Isaiah likely it was 424 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: a weapon, very versatile. Can line him up in a 425 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: number of different spots. What could Decklen Doyle do with 426 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: Kenyon Sadik. I think he'd be for me a little 427 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: bit more of a trade back option from yeah team Yeah, 428 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 1: but love the player. 429 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 2: We started to see some We've seen tight ends go 430 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 2: in the first round, of course. I mean Colston Loveland 431 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 2: and Tyler Warrens were both first round picks that came 432 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 2: in and made a big impact. 433 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: So like long history of that. 434 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,880 Speaker 2: Yep, so Sadiq, And that's also one of those positions 435 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 2: a little bit less value, similar to the conversation about 436 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 2: guard and safety, that you can maybe get the best 437 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 2: tight end at fourteen or even later, you can get 438 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 2: trade back and potentially still get him. I think he's 439 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 2: a really dynamic player and has the production and is 440 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 2: an all around tight end. He's just the best tight end. 441 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 2: I just like everybody. Everything you hear about this classes 442 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 2: that there's really good tight end options in the receiving 443 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 2: category throughout the entire draft. Right, So do you just say, hey, 444 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 2: look you can get someone and as we've talked about, 445 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 2: the Ravens have a great track record of drafting mid 446 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 2: round tight ends. It turned out to be really good prospects. 447 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 2: So look at Isaiah likely do they try to do 448 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 2: that again? 449 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 1: Yep? All right. Last one for me, defensive tackle Peter 450 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 1: Woods out of Clemson, justin Robertson our editorial intern would 451 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: be very disappointed if we didn't mention him being a 452 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,919 Speaker 1: Clemson guy. I like Peter. I think the easy, you know, 453 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,360 Speaker 1: twitchy d tackle, the movement skills, the athleticism, the ability 454 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: to get in the backfield and make make splash plays. 455 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: I really I like he was like another guy that 456 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 1: was on Daniel Jeremiah's kind of most polarizing, the most 457 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 1: polarizing players. I like him. I think that he got 458 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: a lot the production kind of dipped his final year. 459 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: He got a lot of attention, a lot of double teams, 460 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: even triple teams. I mean, everybody knew he was the 461 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 1: dude on Clemson's defensive front, and so you know, good makeup. 462 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: I really I like Peter Woods. I think if nom 463 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: the that's how much information do the Ravens have about 464 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: Nomdi in his future? If Nomdi is not gonna be 465 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 1: playing in twenty twenty six, Peter Woods sneaks up my 466 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: draft board a little bit more. 467 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 2: That's exactly how I feel too. If Mattabique is back, 468 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 2: great news. Then I don't think that that's really in 469 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 2: need anymore, and I don't think that he would be 470 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 2: the pick at fourteen. If you feel like you need 471 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 2: to address that spot, then it changes things and Woods 472 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 2: could be a really good player. 473 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: He's another potential trade back option as well. 474 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's take a quick break. When we come back, 475 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 2: we'll mention some other guys. I got another Clemson guy 476 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 2: for you who could be picks for the Ravens as 477 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 2: we look into the later rounds of the draft. You're 478 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 2: listening to the Lounge podcast. We're coming to you from 479 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 2: the Sea Geek Studio. We want to mention our partners 480 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 2: at Draft Kings Sportsbook. There an official sports betting partner 481 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 2: of the Baltimore Ravens Draft King Sportsbook, The Crown is Yours. 482 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 2: A Day two pick, I mentioned Clemson prod prospects. TJ. 483 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 2: Parker Edge out of Clemson. I think he could be 484 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 2: a Round two pick for the Ravens in twenty four 485 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 2: huge production, nineteen and a half tackles for loss eleven 486 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 2: sacks dipped last year went down to nine and a 487 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 2: half tackles for loss in five sacks. He's six four 488 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 2: to two sixty five. I think he could come in 489 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 2: and like the floor for him is a good edge 490 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 2: ctter on this on this defensive front and I think 491 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 2: the Ravens coulds definitely still add Look, there was talk 492 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 2: of them pairing Trey Hendrickson and Max Crosby together, so 493 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be surprised if they end up they're 494 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 2: gonna draft an edge at some point, and I think 495 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 2: it wouldn't surprise me if it happens in the first 496 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 2: three rounds and TJ. Parker could definitely be that guy 497 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 2: who can get after the quarterback and set the edge, 498 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 2: kind of plays the game the way you want for 499 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 2: a Ravens defensive or outside linebacker. 500 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: My edge is Malachi Lawrence out of Central Florida. Twenty 501 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: sacks over the past three years. He's had production, beats 502 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: up tight ends, beats him up, sets that edge, hustles 503 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,719 Speaker 1: like the motors high good combine. I think he's an 504 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: as sending player. I like Malachy Lawrence. 505 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 2: I'll give you one else, another player on the defensive line. 506 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 2: This is medical piece here, gonna be huge. A couple 507 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 2: of weeks ago, we're talking about him as a potential 508 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 2: first round option. Caleb Banks. 509 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's I mean, he's huge for you talked about 510 00:23:54,440 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 1: sixty pounds. Yeah, rare athlete coming off in injury. So Yeah, 511 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: could you get him at a discount? I think that's 512 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 1: an interesting option on day two. 513 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 2: And his injury situation is kind of doubly complicated. He 514 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 2: broke his foot at the Combine and reportedly had surgery 515 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 2: after that, so fresh injury there, and the foot injury 516 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 2: lingered all of last season, and so. 517 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 1: I like that he played through it. 518 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 2: He did, He worked his way back. A lot of 519 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 2: people thought he was done, worked himself to get back 520 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 2: on the field. Now much of the Senior. 521 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 1: Bowl played through it, but came back. 522 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 2: Ye, yeah, came back and then at the Senior Bowl 523 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 2: caught the intention of a lot of people. Was the 524 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 2: best player on the field at the Senior Bowl? 525 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 1: And the Ravens value the Senior Bowl, right. 526 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 2: And so like, how far does he fallow? That's honestly 527 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 2: the question. He was potentially a first round pick. That 528 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 2: seems unlikely now coming off the foot injury, because you 529 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 2: get him in the second round and you feel like 530 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 2: the value was there for a guy that all reports 531 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 2: are he's going to be ready to go by training camp. 532 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 2: That's what the indication is. 533 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 1: Yep. 534 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 2: But I think you might be able to get some 535 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 2: really good value with a guy that can be a 536 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 2: force in the middle. 537 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 1: All right, if the Ravens don't go with vague Ione 538 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: in the first round. Second round, I like Oregon's and 539 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: Manual Pregnant. I mean, you talk about another maler six 540 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,360 Speaker 1: four three fourteen. This dude plays with a ton of physicality. 541 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: I like him. Chase Basantis is another really intriguing guard prospect. 542 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 1: I think both of these guys are probably gonna go 543 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: in the second round. They could go right around where 544 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: the Ravens are picking midway through the second round. Besontas 545 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: is a little bit more known for movement. You know, 546 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: he's a little lighter, little leaner, ability to get out 547 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, pool and those kind of things, 548 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,479 Speaker 1: get out on the edge and block. I like em 549 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,640 Speaker 1: Manual Pregnant and the way he can just you can 550 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: just play really physical and beat people up. 551 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 2: I like Chase bisants I mean, young player and has 552 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 2: the physical makeup that you want. So I think that 553 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 2: you could bet on a young player that can continue 554 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 2: to develop and feel like you're still getting a player 555 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 2: that played sec football at a high level and has 556 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 2: good experience under his belt while also having a lot 557 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 2: of room to grow. And so like I like I 558 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,679 Speaker 2: like Besontas. So if they don't go offensive lineman in 559 00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 2: the first round, I think he could be a really 560 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 2: good catch in the second. 561 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: We talked about the depth. Tight end. Eli Stowers out 562 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 1: of Vanderbilt is my receiving guy that I like. He 563 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: might go earlier than you'd probably hope for after he 564 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 1: blew up the combine. I mean, one of the best 565 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: combine showings ever for a tight end converted quarterback college quarterback. 566 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: I like that. I think it gives him a unique 567 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,119 Speaker 1: perspective on the game and how to get open for 568 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 1: his quarterback. But he had big time production last year 569 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: seven hundred and sixty five receiving yards and four touchdowns 570 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: at Vanderbilt, made some highlight real catches. I mean, this guy, 571 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: he's an intriguing player to me. And then the athleticism 572 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 1: that you showed at the combine, it really intrigues you. 573 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 1: His ability to go up and play above the rim. 574 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: His vertical jump was insane. 575 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. I mean, look, the Raves are gonna draft, 576 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 2: They're going to draft a tight end. Yeah, and it 577 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,400 Speaker 2: could be stours Well. 578 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: Anyway, he could go in the second round and need 579 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: need in the second round. How big his need at 580 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 1: that point. I don't know. 581 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 2: Maybe, yeah, I think that if you could wait a 582 00:26:58,160 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 2: little bit there. 583 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: And then you can get him in the third love 584 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:00,640 Speaker 1: it well. 585 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, and if you if he's gone, maybe you can 586 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 2: still wait and end up getting a really good pass 587 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:06,880 Speaker 2: catcher in rounds three and four. 588 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, last one for me. Running back Mike Washington, 589 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: Junior out of Arkansas. He was kind of one of 590 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: the Combine Darlings, broke down in tears after his forty 591 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: yard dash he ran four to three three. Look six 592 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: foot one two twenty three and he ran a four 593 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,959 Speaker 1: to three three. Yeah, I'm intrigued. Yeah, I mean average 594 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,120 Speaker 1: six point four per carry adds a little something as 595 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 1: a receiver. I think he has the ability to eventually 596 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: turn into a number one lead back. 597 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 2: Well. The Ravens are looking to replace Keaton Mitchell in 598 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 2: the production that he had last year, as he's gone 599 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,439 Speaker 2: in free agency. He could be an interesting option for 600 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 2: them as a home run threat. So a lot of 601 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 2: talk that we're gonna be breaking down over the course 602 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 2: of the next few weeks leading into the NFL Draft. 603 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 2: As always, you can email us with the lounge at 604 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 2: Ravens on NFL Die net Thank you so much for listening. 605 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 2: We'll be back with you again soon.
