1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: Welcome into the lounge presented by Draft Kings. Now that

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: we have the rookies in play, scaret, we have you know,

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,799
Speaker 1: most of free agency, as we've talked about. There will

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: be more moves, but we got a lot of the

5
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: pieces in place here, the undrafted rookies, the reports of

6
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: who the ravens are brought in and whatnot. It's time

7
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 1: for the because you can never be too early on

8
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 1: any of this stuff.

9
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 2: The twenty twenty four mock drafts seven round made well,

10
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four mock drafts are out. Yes, ravens

11
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: are taken.

12
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to put ours together pick number thirty two,

13
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 1: of course, of course, yeah, uh, size them up. It's

14
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: time for our way too early roster projection, right, and

15
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: we're not gonna make like final predictions of who's making

16
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: the roster, but we're kinna kind of lay it out here,

17
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: and because it's interesting to start fitting the puzzle pieces

18
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: together and see where some of the the nones are

19
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: and the holes the unknowns are, right, And so that's

20
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do here today now that we have

21
00:00:59,000 --> 00:00:59,959
Speaker 1: more for information.

22
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and totally like you said, it's it is the

23
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: way too early, because undoubtedly there's gonna be some positions

24
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 2: here that players get added to. Oh for sure, just

25
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 2: off the bat, the Ravens are going to add a

26
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: veteran corner at some point through some means, Like there's

27
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 2: gonna be I'm going to venture to guess on the

28
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: roster between now and Week one, I'm.

29
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: Just gonna go out on them putting the house on it.

30
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put that in inch.

31
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: I might be willing to put the house on it.

32
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, there's gonna be at least one additional

33
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: corner on this team at some point who that is.

34
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: Veteran pass rusher. There could certainly better an outside linebacker

35
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: would not surprise me at all.

36
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 2: Totally, there's gonna be some pieces they get added. But

37
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 2: in terms of where it stands right now, and so

38
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: you know, the draft is like the big inflection point

39
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 2: in terms of like how these roster battles and everybody

40
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: spends this time looking at it, guys who are like

41
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: competing for starting starting jobs and roster spots. Everyone looks

42
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: at the draft and says, like, after this weekend, Okay,

43
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 2: this is you know, you know my job here, you

44
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: know this is is there is gonna be more competition here,

45
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: and so that's all part of the equation right now.

46
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: So at quarterback, you want to just go ahead and

47
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: knock that out quarterback.

48
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: I think this one's a relief that we finally know

49
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: this one's in ink. Put it in ink. Lamar Jackson obviously.

50
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: Lamar, And then I think Tyler hunt is gonna be

51
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: the number two quarterback.

52
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: I would agree with that.

53
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 2: There was talk about whether the Ravens would add you know,

54
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: up quarterback in the draft Stetson Bennett, and there was

55
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 2: you know, buzz around that given the way earlier, way earlier.

56
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: And I think that Tyler Huntley is gonna be the

57
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: number two quarterback. And I think that Snoop is a

58
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: is a really good backup quarterback. Yeah, and him and

59
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 2: Lamar have a great relationship. So I think those are

60
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 2: your two. I also like Anthony Brown just for the

61
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 2: record here, I thought that he showed something late last

62
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: year yep, and so you know, I think he's gonna

63
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: he's gonna push Snop for that role. And maybe there's

64
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 2: a chance that Ravens end up keeping three. That's possible,

65
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: or they could go to the practice squadron.

66
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would probably expected to still practice squadro out,

67
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: but you never know, he could push the for a

68
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: third spot. All right, let's go to running back. I

69
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: think this one's pretty easy as well. We have JK. Dobbins,

70
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards, and Justice Hill, all three guys making the team.

71
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 1: The question here is do they keep a fourth running back?

72
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: I think that that would be that would be an

73
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: interesting thing.

74
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: To follow, would you The other piece there is full back?

75
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 2: Is Patrick Ricard? You know, like full back, tight end?

76
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 2: How the Ravens want to use him? I actually think

77
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 2: that that's like one of the big questions with Todd

78
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 2: Monkin and this new offense, where Patrick Recard fits into

79
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 2: the equation. I mean, he's a really good player. How

80
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 2: does he fit in this new system? It's obviously much

81
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 2: different than what they did with Greg Roman. So is

82
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: he a traditional fullback? Is he more of a tight end?

83
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: How do they use him? So? I guess for the

84
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 2: if we're counting the backfield, well, do.

85
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: You count him as tight end or running back? Either one?

86
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: Ricard is gonna I think be on the team. Yeah,

87
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: So either either way you count him, I think he's

88
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: on team. The question at running back for me, I

89
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: think an interesting one to watch will be the undrafted rookie.

90
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: Reportedly Keaton Mitchell out of East Carolina is among the

91
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: Ravens undrafted class, and he's a interesting prospect to watch.

92
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: This is one that's getting a little early buzz. You

93
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: rushed for almost fifteen hundred yards last season, averaged seven

94
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: point two yards per carry. Like a fast, just playmaking

95
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: kind of running back. Could be kind of a receiver

96
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: out of the backfield, the guy that catches some balls

97
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: like you know, I don't expect that the probably the

98
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: Ravens have room for four running backs. You know, he

99
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: would have to really be a special teams, really stand

100
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: out on special teams. It's kind of the role for

101
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: Justice Hills, kind of your change pace back. Right now

102
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: is your number three. So I think it's an uphill battle,

103
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: but one to watch.

104
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree with your assessment of that. I mean,

105
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 2: I'm guessing they probably only end up keeping three and

106
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 2: certainly with JK. Dobbinson and Gus Edwards now another year

107
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: removing the knee injury. Knee injuries, Ravens were really good

108
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: about them being healthy and so being able to take

109
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 2: on more of a heavy workload early in the season.

110
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: Like last year, there was you know, Keny Drake was

111
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 2: obviously in the mix, and so last year there was

112
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: a bit of a revolving door early in the year

113
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: as those guys figured it out. Really almost up until

114
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: late in the season when JK came back from the

115
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 2: scope procedure. That backfield where there's a lot of shuffling

116
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 2: going on. I think that let's you know, no injury's

117
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 2: fingers crossed. I think that it's going to be more

118
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 2: of a set unit this year compared to some of

119
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 2: the you know, back in and out, back and forth

120
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: like we saw last year.

121
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree, all right, tight end, this one's

122
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: another pretty easy one. I mean Mark Andrews, Charlie Cohl

123
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: or Isaiah likely the three guys. This is really where

124
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: I see Patrick Card fitting in a little bit more.

125
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: Maybe it's not as much of a fullback role, it's

126
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: more of a tight end, in line blocking tight end.

127
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: You know, the Ravens have lost some in line blocking

128
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: tight ends. Nick Boyle obviously went down with the knee.

129
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: Then last year Josh Aliver really fulfilled that role. Now

130
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: he's gone in free agency to the Vikings. The year

131
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: before that, Eric Tomlinson was that in line blocking tight end.

132
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: He went to Denver, and so I think Denver, right, Yeah,

133
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: so they really do have an opening for that kind

134
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: of big blocking tight end, you know, Wherecards can certainly

135
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: be that guy. He's almost acted at times like an

136
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 1: extra offense of linemen. I wonder if he evolves more

137
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: into that role now whether how important exactly that role

138
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: is in a Todd Munkin offense versus Greg Roman offense

139
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: is certainly different. But I still think, you know, Mark

140
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: Andrews has made strides as a blocker. I expect that

141
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: the two rising sophomores, you know, Charlie Kohler is a

142
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: big body dude. If he fills out a little bit more,

143
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: he'll develop more as a blocker, you know, so likely,

144
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: but I do think RECRD could kind of pick up

145
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: some of that role.

146
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 2: I agree, it'll be interesting to see how Like this

147
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 2: doesn't totally affect roster composition. But like I'm curious to

148
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 2: see in training camp how often does Mounkin use the

149
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 2: two tight end sets? Is it a lot? Is it

150
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 2: more one tight end three receiver? Like what does that

151
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 2: makeup look like? I don't think he's going to use

152
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 2: the tight ends as heavily as Greg Roman did. Nobody

153
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: us uses as much as Romance, So I think it's

154
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: going to be less, But I agree those are going

155
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: to be your your three four. If you're kind of

156
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: a RECRD in this group.

157
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: Yep, all right, let's get a wide receiver. I think

158
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: we have consensus here on the top four. At five,

159
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: probably Odell Beckham, Junior, Rasha Bateman, Z Flowers, Nelson Aguilar,

160
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: and then Devin Zuverne would be the five obvious ones.

161
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: Who's the sixth? If you're gonna keep a sixth, you know,

162
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: is that perche Tyler Wallace. Mike Thomas is a veteran

163
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: kind of special teams guy, Indi Isabella, you know, probably

164
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: be hard for him. Z A. Flowers is kind of

165
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: in a similar mold. Schamar Bridges, Threek Black are other

166
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: guys on the roster right now. I think they've got eleven.

167
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: They've got eleven receivers on the roster right now.

168
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: And I'm not even counting on drafted rookies, yeah, right now,

169
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 2: right And there's there's different reports and the thing also,

170
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 2: I'll just mention on undrafted rookies, you always get some

171
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 2: buzz about those guys. It's always interesting. It's like we

172
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: always say this, but like you do. You do all

173
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: the discussion about the draft and who it's gonna be,

174
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, it's like the draft

175
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: is over, and there seems to be like more interesting

176
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: the undrafted rookies and the players draft. You're like, come on,

177
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: we've been asking for like three months about the draft

178
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 2: class and now you're more interested in the undrafted guys.

179
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 2: But one thing with undrafted guys around this time of year,

180
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: you may see agencies or players themselves, you know post

181
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 2: you know, I'm going to whatever team, and sometimes there's

182
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: sometimes they can't tryouts, and sometimes this team comes in

183
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 2: late and changes. So anyway, my point here is there's

184
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 2: eleven receivers on on the roster right now. We'll see

185
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 2: if more get added of the course of you know,

186
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,599
Speaker 2: the rookie mini camp with undrafted guys who are in

187
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: the mix too. But I agree about those five, and

188
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 2: then you're basically looking. I mean, I think it's James

189
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 2: phe Tyland Wallace really competing with some of the smart bridges. Also,

190
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 2: it kind of depends on what they want there.

191
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: Well, what they want is a special teams players what

192
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: they want, which.

193
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 2: Which yes, right and well they and and Devin Duberne

194
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 2: is especially he's a returner.

195
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: He's a return a gun coverage something like that. Doesn't

196
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: have to be a gunner, but like somebody in coverage

197
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: and blocking, you know. So that's generally where that position goes.

198
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: You know, per Se started playing more special teams Thailand,

199
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: I think so too. Yeah, kind of late in the year.

200
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: Can one of those guys grab one of grab that spot?

201
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: Do they only keep five if there's really a crunch

202
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: a number of scrunch that could be a position where

203
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: they keep five because you have five guys that are

204
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: known entities. Really, you know, the concerns about the wide

205
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: receiver depth, we can retire those concerns. Yeah, this year.

206
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: So that's a position. I think that if you do

207
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: really get into a crunch, maybe you can kind of

208
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 1: go late there potentially the other.

209
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 2: Factor here, I think that we'll come into play, you know,

210
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 2: as we're taping this in May. Like as we said

211
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 2: at the start, a lot of things changed between now

212
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 2: in September. But Russhi Bateman and Odell Beckham Junior are

213
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 2: both coming back from pretty significant injuries. So the hope

214
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 2: and the expectation they're good to go, no issues. That's

215
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 2: that's that's where we're thinking that's going to be the case.

216
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 2: But if there were any sort of delay or they

217
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: wanted have some insurance there just in case it takes

218
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: them a little bit longer to play or they're not

219
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 2: completely one hundred percent yet, then you could maybe add

220
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 2: an additional spot early. You're kind of like I talked

221
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 2: about with running back, you know, that could be an option.

222
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 2: Like last year they kept you know, additional running back

223
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 2: and there's a bit of an evolution of rotation early on.

224
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 2: Could they keep an additional wide receiver early if one

225
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 2: of those guys were still working his way back.

226
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: I don't expect that they will be.

227
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 2: I don't think they will be either.

228
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: Just for the rest, I think and Bateman will both

229
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: be like good to go.

230
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: All reports on Bateman are that he's.

231
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: He's I think he had video of him basically running.

232
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that he that he looks great and they're really

233
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 2: pleased with his progress.

234
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: And OBJ was considering coming back last year that didn't

235
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: end up doing it. But he'll take his time. He's

236
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,599
Speaker 1: not going to push. He's not going to push the

237
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: envelope and try to rush things back this offseason. But

238
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: I agree, I'm with you. Don't. I don't know if

239
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: like injuries are gonna necessarily play a role in that.

240
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hope they don't, and I don't really think

241
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 2: that they will.

242
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's go to the offensive line. All right,

243
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: we'll start to tackle Ronnie Stanley, Morgan Moses or your

244
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: obvious starters backing them up. Daniel file Lele going into

245
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: a second year, got some starting experience last year, got

246
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: some valuable experience. I mean, this is a guy that

247
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: they drafted in the fourth round, huge, six foot eight

248
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: three eighty to really groom. You know, he's had a

249
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: year on his belt. I expect that he'll probably be

250
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: the number three tackle along with Pat McCarey. Is kind

251
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: of your super sub at any position, or star or

252
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: start well or starter right started, left guard exactly. Jumping

253
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: ahead here, Yeah you are. But you know that's those

254
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: are really your four tackles. You know, they just drafted

255
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: the guy they just drafted. I'm gonna butcher his name again.

256
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 2: I got this. I got Salah a move a l

257
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 2: ulu ulu le ulu yep, yeah, thank you.

258
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: I mean he played right tackle primarily at Oregon, so

259
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: I think that the Ravens see him as a potential

260
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: guard guard slash tackle. I expect that maybe ultimately it'll

261
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: be guard, but certainly a lot of experience to tackle

262
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: could step in there. Kind of I see as a

263
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: tackle slash guard and uh Sala as a guard slash

264
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: tackle in the NFL. But that's just me. So anyway,

265
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: those are I think the four guys that you kind

266
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: of pencil in at tackle. Am I missing anybody? No, okay,

267
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: let's go to guard. Uh, as you said, you know,

268
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: an account Mcerry guard, whatever he is, he's on the roster, right,

269
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: We'll put him at guard. Ben Cleveland, John Simpson, the veteran. Uh.

270
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: Those are the three guys that are really competing for

271
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: the starting job right now in my mind.

272
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 2: And then Zeitlerer obviously a starter. And obviously of course

273
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 2: Limb is starting center.

274
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: Exactly, Linder MAM's starting center. Who's the backup center? You know,

275
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: Tristan Cologne left this offseason. I think with the the Jets,

276
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: right it's the Baltimore North, So like, who's who's the

277
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: backup center? I mean mckerry again, And that's kind of

278
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: The reason that I mckary is your starting left guards

279
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 1: is a little challenging if it up being that, because

280
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: he's also your backup center slash, backup tackle if you,

281
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: you know, if you're in a pitch potentially, if you

282
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: need him to be so. Anyway, how many is that?

283
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: Were you counting the whole time? On man?

284
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 2: How many times were we kind of mcarey? Does he

285
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 2: count once? Or countyes?

286
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: Three times?

287
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 2: Okay, exactly?

288
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: I wasn't counting, all right, Stanley, let's do it here

289
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: real quick, Stanley, Moses McCarry and okay, so we got

290
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: McCarry is one of the four tackles. Okay, we got

291
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: the Zeitler Cleveland you counting? Uh, who's the other guard? Simpson?

292
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: And the rookie Organ Sala lindermmy, that's nine. That's nine.

293
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 2: Yep. And just so just for the record, Andrew Vorhees,

294
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 2: who the Ravens traded back into the seventh rounds to select,

295
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 2: this is basically going to be a red shirt year

296
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 2: for him. He's working his way back from kne injury

297
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 2: he suffered at the combine, so he does not factor

298
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 2: into the equation, especially earlier in the year, and probably

299
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 2: not this year at all. The expectation is it he'll

300
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 2: play next year. So that's nine. Again, we'll see if

301
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 2: the Ravens end up adding guys during the undrafted free

302
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 2: agent process, if they add a veteran veteran to the mix,

303
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 2: you know, like a John Simpson. They're not opposed to

304
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 2: doing that if they feel like that could be someone

305
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 2: that could come in and help build bolster the unit.

306
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 2: So that's an option as well. But you know they're

307
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 2: gonna keep probably eight offensive lineman would be my expectation.

308
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, but who are that of the nine? You're saying

309
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: like basically between Simpson, Cleveland, and McCarry that one of

310
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: those doesn't make the final rush. Well, Arry will, but

311
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: I'm thinking I know, But so you're saying it's between

312
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: Cleveland and Simpson.

313
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: Potentially if they can only keep eight, then.

314
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, I mean I guess you have

315
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: sala as, like really your backup to the backup at guard.

316
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 2: Right, And again, of course this this is why, like

317
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 2: it depends on your roster crunch at other positions and

318
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 2: and all the stuff. But like it's usually eight or

319
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 2: nine offensive lineman that you end up keeping.

320
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: And so yeah, I could see that one being a

321
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: little heavier. I could see that one put the chair

322
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: line heavier. I could see that one going at nine.

323
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's certainly good. They might say, you know what,

324
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 2: like we don't want to be light here. Let's like

325
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 2: it's just keep solo. Is a six round pick, right,

326
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 2: Do we really want to have him in a position

327
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 2: where we're like throwing him out there. Let's let's give

328
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 2: ourselves some more insurance there. They could They could take

329
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 2: that approach.

330
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: As well, and that frees up McCarey to be your

331
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: starting Like if McCary were pressing the action at center now,

332
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: you suddenly are getting pretty thin, right right, So anyway,

333
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: all right, let's let's take a quick break.

334
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 2: Let's second quick break, and we come back. We'll dive

357
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 2: I want to mention this is fun. You know, the

358
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 2: draft happens and then a week later all the rookies

359
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 2: come to town and they get on the field for

360
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 2: Rookie Mini Camp. So it's a chance for those guys

361
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 2: to go up against each other and get a sense

362
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 2: of kind of where they stand, and everybody's excited and.

363
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: Really to experience an NFL practice. You know, it's not

364
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: a fool NFL It's not like what they're going to

365
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: get in training camp, but like that kind of introduction

366
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: to what it's like at this level. Just the yeah,

367
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: when this is your full time job, Like, it's kind

368
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 1: of they get thrown into deep end there, they get

369
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: the playbook and their just heads are spinning. It's it's

370
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: a fun time.

371
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 2: I think it's also a little bit more for them.

372
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 2: You like, see your name on an NFL jersey for

373
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 2: the first time, and for a lot of those guys,

374
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 2: that's that's pretty powerful. So we're gonna have coverage throughout

375
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 2: the weekend a lot of behind the scenes stuff that

376
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 2: you don't want to miss, So make sure that you

377
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 2: check that out, all right, So defense, Yep, what position

378
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 2: you want to start with?

379
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: Let's good d line, all right, flip it right over there.

380
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: So the obviously obvious ones here, Michael Pierce, Travis Jones,

381
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: Justin Mattabe, Kay Broddock, Washington. It's four obvious ones. I

382
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: would say Brent Urban five. You know, let's signed a

383
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: one year deal. I would expect, especially with Klay has gone,

384
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,959
Speaker 1: He's the closest body type to that. So that's five there.

385
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: It's a little light, you know. I mean, like Rayshott

386
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: Nichols is an defensive tackle, I'd be interested, you know,

387
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: I think he could have a chance of making the team.

388
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: Do they add another veteran that would be another spot

389
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: where you know, we talked about the possibility of them

390
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 1: drafting a defensive lineman. Didn't end up doing that, So

391
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: I think that's another position where we could see a

392
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: veteran edition.

393
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 2: I do too, Like I point to a guy, not

394
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 2: saying that Ravens would resign him, but like Justin Ellis

395
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 2: was a guy who played football here for a few

396
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 2: years and they brought just a veteran guy who came

397
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 2: in here they signed late in the process and as

398
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 2: a you know, playing here for a few years, playing

399
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,959
Speaker 2: pretty well, you know, they could be someone in that

400
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 2: realm that like, right, you know, you're not thinking of.

401
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: There's gonna be veterans that shake loose here over the summer, yeah,

402
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: or that are already rady agents.

403
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 2: Exactly who you end up just bringing in and the

404
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 2: Ravens have added They've added vets on the defensive line.

405
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 2: It seems like every year. I mean yeah, like I

406
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 2: go back to Uh, I can't think of his name,

407
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 2: long hair in twenty nineteen. You just played for the

408
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 2: Bengals only hair defensive linemen.

409
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: Uh, you kill me on the line, yeah, oh god?

410
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: Oh and like the nose tackle, yeah, oh, this is

411
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: gonna kill me. His son plays now, his son's like

412
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: a pretty good player. Golly day, you're killing me. I

413
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: can't think of his name.

414
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 2: Domos, yes, Pecho Yeseo. Yeah, we both both just brain

415
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 2: fart right there. But yes, Anyway, my point here is

416
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 2: that there could be a guy like that, yeah, you

417
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 2: know who who they end up adding and ends up

418
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 2: being a really really you know, solid player. So I

419
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 2: think that they could add That's a position where I

420
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 2: could see them matting.

421
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: Yep. All right, let's go to inside linebacker u Rokuan Smith,

422
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: Patrick Queen Trenton Simpson new third round pick. Those are

423
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: the three obvious ones, and then I think you have

424
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: a pretty good competition here between Maleek Harrison, Josh Ross, Uh,

425
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 1: even del Seawan Phillips, Christian Welch. You know that fourth

426
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,199
Speaker 1: linebacker spot is to me, I don't know who the

427
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 1: shoe in is there, you know. And for those who

428
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 1: have asked us many times about Patrick Queen, right, like

429
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: Patrick Queen, I think, you know, the Ravens reportedly did

430
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 1: not pick up his fifth year option, but I think

431
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: very much see him as a huge integral part part

432
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: of this defense in twenty twenty three. Like, Patrick Queen

433
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: has the opportunity to ball out just like he was

434
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: at the end of last year and earn a big contract,

435
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: whether that be here or elsewhere. Like it's a great

436
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: opportunity for him playing next to Rokwan, you know, Trenton Simpson,

437
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: Like I'm excited about Trent Simpson. I like that pick.

438
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 1: He's a third round pick, you know, Like just to

439
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: sit there and say like, oh, he's gonna step in

440
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: immediately and be a starter, that's asking that's asking a lot.

441
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: And I know the guy's talented and athletic and all that,

442
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: but that'd be a lot. Like to me, it's still

443
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: the ro Quan Patrick Queen show.

444
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 2: And Patrick Queen and Rokwan I think are the best.

445
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 2: That's the best inside doing the league. Right, So, like

446
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 2: you want your defense to still be a strength of

447
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 2: this team. And so having those two guys at the

448
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 2: center of it, yep, makes everybody else better.

449
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 1: Absolutely, So I expect a really good year from Patrick Queen,

450
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: and then Trenton Simpson can be kind of like another

451
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: chest piece that you know, moves into that rotation. I

452
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 1: could see all three of those guys being on the

453
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: field at sometimes, you know, and he kind of flashes

454
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: outside Simpson does. Sometimes they'll find ways use Trenton Simpson,

455
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: believe that as he kind of gets his feet wet

456
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: in the NFL.

457
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 2: YEP. Total, all right, so let's go outside line back

458
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 2: up here.

459
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, so daf Away, David Ajabo, Tyas Bowser, who am

460
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: I messing here already? Well, the new kid, Tavis Robinson.

461
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: So that's for and then so then we're down to,

462
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: you know, a veteran. This is another veteran edition, obviously

463
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 1: a possibility that justin Houston, you know, does he come

464
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: back again? You know they've they've brought him back. They

465
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: signed him and brought him back once.

466
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 2: So he's been here for two years, right, kind of

467
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 2: like never talk about, but played snaps last year with

468
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 2: Jason Pierre Paul. I don't know if they bring him

469
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 2: act And I'm just saying, like, you're lost two players

470
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 2: there who were pretty productive and played a lot of

471
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 2: football for you last year.

472
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely think that a veteran will be added.

473
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: I mean remember at one point last year, Vince Beagle

474
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: looked like he was gonna make the fifty three men roster,

475
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: you know, and so like, yeah, they they've they're down

476
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: right now two veterans. Yeah, they're in the hole by two. Now.

477
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 1: Tavius Robinson's kind of steps in one of those. But

478
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: I still think that it could it could be Houston

479
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 1: or somebody else has added at that position.

480
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 2: Yep, I'm with you.

481
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, moving outside, you want to give a corner

482
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: of safety. Corner, Okay, corner, here we go, Marlon Humphrey.

483
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: Uh all, right, now we're two is Brandon Stevens. I

484
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: guess I'll count as a corner h Jayleen Armor, Davis

485
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,959
Speaker 1: Pepe Williams. Then they brought back some veteran corners from

486
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: last year who were kind of solid, very solid guys,

487
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: veteran guys, special teamers, right so, Kevon Seymour yep, Darryl Worley, Yep.

488
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: That'll make for six right now. Then obvious Lee Kayu,

489
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: Blue Kelly, who's a fifth round pick, is gonna make

490
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 1: a team that's seven.

491
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 2: They also signed Trayvon Mullen, you know former I think

492
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 2: third round draft pick, Lamar's.

493
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: Cousin, Lamar's cousin. I mean, if Lamar's cousins, doesn't it

494
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: So those are your corners as it stands now. Obviously,

495
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: as we said at the top, I would be very

496
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: surprised that the Ravens don't add a veteran or two

497
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: to this group. But you're you're looking at six, seven guys,

498
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: and right now, five of them probably are known. I

499
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: mean there's probably four locks, right Marlin Uhl, Marlon Brandon,

500
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: Jaylen Armor, Davis Pepe, and Bop and Kyu. So there's

501
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: five locks, I would say, yep. I mean it's hard

502
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: to see Jaylen, Armor, Davis or Pepe.

503
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 2: I think I think that's fair.

504
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: Five locks, and now you're down to I mean, Kamon

505
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 1: Steymour has been a valuable guy, and I thought I

506
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 1: thought that Darre Warley played. I mean he was hitting

507
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: some people in that Bengals game week seventeen. He was

508
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: hitting yep. So it'll be interesting to see I expect

509
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: they'll probably they'll sign somebody who will be the sixth,

510
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: and then they could keep another one of those veterans,

511
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: probably one of those two guys. Yeah, to be a seventh.

512
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: You don't ever want to be late at corner.

513
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally. And I as we keep saying, like, I

514
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 2: still think there's gonna be one guy on that list

515
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 2: who's not on the roster right now. That's my guess.

516
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: Yep. All right, so let's flip it. Safety. Obviously, you

517
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: have Kyle Hamilton and Marcus Williams is locks. Geno Stone

518
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 1: is probably pretty darn close to a Locke sign them

519
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 1: back to a one year deal. Outside of that, you

520
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: have some question marks. Ar Darius Washington is the other safety,

521
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 1: but they haven't added somebody since trading Chuck Clark. I

522
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: actually think that this is a spot where they could

523
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: sign a veteran. Yeah. So, I mean they reportedly had

524
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: Adrian Amos in for a visit back in Merch early April.

525
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: I mean, here's a guy who started every game I

526
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 1: think for the for the Packers for the past three

527
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 1: or four years. Yeah, Baltimore guy, solid veteran, kind of

528
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: kind of a Chuck Mold. Yeah, you know, would he

529
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: makes sense, Like, would not surprise me if they added

530
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 1: a veteran there. That's interesting for a little depth. I mean,

531
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: you also have Kyle Hamilton that obviously had a great

532
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: season last year. He's a first round pick. I mean

533
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: that he's going to get the shot to play. He's

534
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: certainly going to be given the opportunity, and I expect

535
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: that he will take that opportunity to win it to

536
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: be that safety stepping in for Chuck, but playing in

537
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: a multiple of He's not going to just be you know,

538
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 1: a rear you know, back end safety, you know kind

539
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: of guy. I mean, Chuck played up near the line.

540
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: Chuck played like linebacker at times, kind of dime linebacker

541
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 1: like Kyle Hamilton will play near the line of scrimmage.

542
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: I expect still a match up against some tight ends,

543
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: you the Ravens, like those three safety looks would not

544
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: surprise me if Geno Stone could be that he could,

545
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: but he could also continue to be a special teams anchor,

546
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: you know, Anthony Levine. I just think that they might

547
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: win a little bit more veteran depth there. I think

548
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: it might.

549
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 2: That's interesting sense. I hadn't really thought about that because

550
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 2: I would have said, like then would and Chuck Clark

551
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 2: have just been that guy. Well, but you know, you

552
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 2: need a cap room and that's part of the equation

553
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 2: of course. But yeah, that's that's interesting if they were

554
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 2: to add there. I don't necessarily see it right now,

555
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 2: but I get the point that you're making. And so yeah,

556
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 2: that's the link to monitor special teams is easy here,

557
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 2: by the way, I think.

558
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: We got that.

559
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that the Nick Moore, Justin Tucker Jordan

560
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 2: Stout are going to be the three specialists.

561
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: So, uh, there we go. Lock it laminated laminated. You're

562
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: gonna need a couple like inser name here, but you

563
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: can laminate it with that to be sure. You can

564
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: write on the on it totally.

Speaker 2: do you do in the off season? I say, what

586
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 2: off season? And this is a classic example of it.

587
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:40,119
