1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: I really think that's an under the radar reason why

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: the Ravens front office has been so strong is that

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: they've been very skillful at maneuvering around the salary cap

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: and managing the financial side of things in addition to

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: just finding drafting good players. So the Ravens, once they

6
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 1: pay Lamar, are gonna almost have the ability to hit

7
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: a reset button and shape the roster in the new

8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 1: and different way. They're gonna have to get a younger,

9
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: cheaper rosters, so they're already setting themselves up to do.

10
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: So let's get into the real draft or bunker drafts.

11
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: Here's here. It is peanut butter Prosa, pizza, canned beans,

12
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: cliff bars, pasta, cereal, toilet paper, apple sauce, cantu in

13
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: a bottle, water, rama, soup, and coffee. Welcome into the lounge.

14
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: We have another action packed episode here in which we're

15
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: finally gonna do our big draft, the Bunker Draft. But

16
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: before we do that, we are going to talk some

17
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: football and talk about the other draft that, I guess

18
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: the more important draft. I don't know, what do you think, Garrett,

19
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, the Bunker draft is high

20
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: sakes these days. And there's a lot of interest in it. So, um, well,

21
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: and it might be my my tour to force here,

22
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: you know, my comeback story. You've been preparing for this

23
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: all your life. I don't know if people know this,

24
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: but I'm taking a couple of else in drafts, so

25
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: it's my time to shine, all right. So but before

26
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: we do that, we want to get into a few

27
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: emails that we got. As always, you can read us

28
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: at the lounge at Ravens dot NFL dot net. We

29
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: got this one a couple of days ago, and it's

30
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: a shame that we didn't read it before we talked

31
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: to Brian McFarland. But I hit Brian McFarland back up

32
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: via text message to get the answers. So this this

33
00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: email comes from Victor Sutherland, he said, gentleman, first time email, y'all.

34
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: But I've listened to the pop for quite a while. Uh,

35
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: he said, I actually tried to link up with Mink

36
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: in London when we took that loss to the flu Jags.

37
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,399
Speaker 1: That's not how I was just gonna say. I think

38
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: the big law it's not a big it doesn't work

39
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 1: that way. It was I put the loss in parentheses. Um, Uh, yeah,

40
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: that was a rough game anyway. Uh, he said, I'm

41
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: a huge Ravons fan, but I always can confused when

42
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: it comes to the cap in regards to incentives. For example,

43
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: the newest bird, Derek Wolf reportedly has three million dollars

44
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: in bass salary and up to three million dollars in

45
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: incentives if he checks all of his boxes. Is that

46
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: just cash out of Steve's pocket or does that affect

47
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: what Eric can do shaping the roster? Basically does that

48
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: count against the cat? Right? So I hit up Ryan

49
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: McFarland after we had him on the podcast yesterday. Go

50
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: back and listen to that one if you haven't done

51
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: so already, And he said in Santa insteatives do hit

52
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: the cap one way or another as part of the

53
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: player's present cap number or as an adjustment on the

54
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: following year's cat. So basically, if the incentives are quote

55
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: likely to be earned, right, then they count on the

56
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: present cap and that's based on what they've done the

57
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: year prior. Right. So, like, let's say if it were

58
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: games played right, and the instead of it is he

59
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: has to play at least twelve games. Well, you know,

60
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: Derek Wolf is at whatever he played twelve games last year, right,

61
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: so it's likely to be earned. If not, then they

62
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: count against the following year's cap if they are reached. Obviously,

63
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,119
Speaker 1: So there's some nuance there in how you kind of

64
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: designate or what there's incentives are and how they're designated

65
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: and how that applies to the salary cap. Okay, yeah,

66
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: so kind of interesting. Yeah, it is, it is, and uh,

67
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: I've really I mean, I'm just going back to that

68
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: conversation yesterday, and I think fans who are into the

69
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: salary cap, which I know a lot of our fans are,

70
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: it's just as a fascinating thing that you need to consider.

71
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: And I think that we generally consider from a standpoint

72
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: of how much money do we have to spend on

73
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: certain guys. But there's just the management, the roster management

74
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: piece of the equation is such an important and piece

75
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: of building a team and building a roster, like when

76
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: you're thinking two years down the road, three years down

77
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: the road, those are the main things you need to consider, Okay,

78
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's gonna have a contract coming up, so you

79
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: need to have that space able to pay a guy

80
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: like that, and as you're building it, those are all

81
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: the little nuanced things that you need to take into account,

82
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: and I think that Pat Moriarty uh has done a

83
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: fantastic job of that. Nick Matdio now is doing a

84
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: lot of that along with Pat, and I really think

85
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: that's an under the radar reason why the Ravens front

86
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: office has been so strong is that they've been very

87
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: skillful at maneuvering around the salary cap and managing the

88
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: financial side of things in addition to just finding drafting

89
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: good players. And I think they've gotten better at that.

90
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: You know, you see a lot of these flat contracts,

91
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: and what I've theres a lot of these deals is

92
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna come. They're gonna expire basically right around when

93
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: you have to pay Lamar. Right, So the Ravens, once

94
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: they pay Lamar, are gonna almost have the ability to

95
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: hit a reset button and shape the roster in a

96
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: new and different way where they're gonna have probably a

97
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: number of cop pics. Uh, They're gonna have to get

98
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: a younger, cheaper roster once once that happens, So they're

99
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: already setting themselves up to do so. And that's another

100
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: reason why Lamar's MVP season was so huge for the

101
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: organization is because it it told you, hey, there's no

102
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: doubt that this is the guy, right, We're gonna pay

103
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: this guy. It's not like you have a situation where

104
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: maybe like the Redskins, for example, we're kind of caught in,

105
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: all right, do we pay Kirk Cousins? Do we not?

106
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: You know, how do you do you how do you

107
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: build a roster around that when you're not sure, you're

108
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: not sure about your most important player and whether they're

109
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: gonna be their long term I think the Ravens absolutely

110
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: know that about Lamar j accident after what he did

111
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: last year, and that helps them shape the future well.

112
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: To your point, I mean, that's kind of the worst

113
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: place to be for the NFL teams in quarterback limbo.

114
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: Not just looking for a quarterback, which is bad, uh

115
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: that you know, you don't want to be in that spot,

116
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: but to have a quarterback who you're just not necessarily

117
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: convinced is that long term answer, because a lot of

118
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: times you end up paying him just by nature if

119
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: you don't want to go to reset, because if you

120
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: don't pay him, then it's basically back to square one

121
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: and you reset, and then oftentimes teams end up paying

122
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: that guy, and it ends up being a bad decision. Um.

123
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: And so you can look around the league and see

124
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: teams that have done that, um and that you know.

125
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to go off on a full other tangent.

126
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: That is why I've always said, especially we've had conversations

127
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: and debates, uh me, if you're paying a quarter I

128
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: they just think you need to think long and hard

129
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: about paying a quarterback, and your non pay the quarterback guy,

130
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: that's that's just cliff Cliff jokes that I'm I'm don't

131
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: pay anybody guy, uh, which that's not the case. My

132
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: thing with quarterbacks is if you're going to pay that quarterback,

133
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: you just need to be sure that he is your

134
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: long term answer, that he is a not just a

135
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: good player, not just he's a starting caliber player, that

136
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: he is an absolute difference maker, potential Hall of fame, uh,

137
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: super Bowl winner, like hall of fame. Yeah, I seriously

138
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: it is a very high bar. But I seriously think

139
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: that like those should be the considerations when you're talking

140
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: about giving a quarterback a six year deal for thirty

141
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: five million dollars a year, Like those should be the

142
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: kind of expectations that you have because when you look

143
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: at teams that have paid even really good quarterbacks, even

144
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: really good quarterbacks. Uh there, it's hard to build a

145
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: team when you're paying a guy that much money. And

146
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to go down the whole path, but

147
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: just look at quarterbacks who've been paid, even really good ones,

148
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: and after they get paid, it's hard to win. Aaron

149
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: Rodgers one super Bowl. Russell Wilson won it before he

150
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: got paid. I mean, these are guys who are Hall

151
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: of Fame quarterbacks. It's still hard to win when you're

152
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: when you're dedicating that much money to your quarterback. So yeah, alright,

153
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: next question, you're too long on that. Too long? Alright,

154
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: that's that's evenil. It comes from Tyler Gross and he says,

155
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: hey eyes, with all the free quarantine quarantine time on

156
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: my hands, I had a couple of things I want

157
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: to ask your opinion on. First, why do we not

158
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: pull the trigger on DeAndre Hopkins. I think there's probably

159
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: thirty other teams around the NFL that are wondering how

160
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: that deal came about with Bill O'Brien. So I don't

161
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: think the Ravens are the only one in that boat.

162
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: I don't know how that happened but there are a

163
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: lot of salary cap comfications with that, you know, I

164
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: mean talk about guys you got paid new Coopkins got

165
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: paid too. We're taking on a lot of money there.

166
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: But anyway, next point, next question, what do you think

167
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: is the most important aspect of being a great GM.

168
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: My first thought was talent evaluation slash draft, But I

169
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: read a few articles saying over time the draft is

170
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: really a crapshoot with hits and misses, et cetera. So

171
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: you know, I kind of think that it's what we're

172
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: speaking of now, is it's overall roster management, salary cat management.

173
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: How you kind of found I mean, yeah, I think

174
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: how you balance those kind of decisions is the more

175
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: important job of being a GM than I would say

176
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: the draft, because the draft, I mean there's just so

177
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: many people involved in that, right, I Mean, you have

178
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: all of your scouts that you lean on heavily, you're

179
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: college scouting director, all of that, and every every aspect

180
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,599
Speaker 1: of it has a lot of people that you lean on.

181
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: But the draft in particular, I think is like that.

182
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: Uh you know, I mean Eric da Costa, even before

183
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: he was elevated to GM, he was in large part

184
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: kind of running the draft and Azzi he was making

185
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: the final picks, and of course Ozzie was watching tape

186
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: and he was involved, but Eric was kind of running that.

187
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: Ozzy was doing this overall big picture roster management, right,

188
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 1: and he did a masterful job of that. Now Eric

189
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: has stepped into that and I think he's just carried

190
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: that the torch in that way. The other thing that

191
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 1: I think people might not know about Eric since he

192
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 1: took over his GM is that he's taken more of

193
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: a leadership role across the entire organization, right, not just

194
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: kind of football side of things, but uh, you know,

195
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: he's he's involved in and stops even in our meetings sometimes,

196
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: which was like what you know, and has ideas, has

197
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 1: ideas for us. Um So I just think that's Eric

198
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: has done an amazing, amazing job in so many different ways.

199
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: I would say, how you put all those pieces together

200
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: from a big picture standpoint, it's probably the most important

201
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: part of that job. Well, kind of what you're talking

202
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: about is is culture setting, and I think that that

203
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 1: is another piece of the equation. And I don't just

204
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: mean setting a culture in terms of having a place

205
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 1: where people work hard and want to come to work,

206
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: which I think that the Ravens have done a fantastic

207
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 1: job of that. But I think that within the entire

208
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: scouting operation, you need to have a system and a

209
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: formula and a process in place, because it's not Eric

210
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,719
Speaker 1: isn't just watching tape on three guys and making the

211
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: picks in a vacuum on draft weekend. He is entrusting

212
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 1: these scouts who have gone through an entire process, who

213
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: have worked from the bottom to work their way up

214
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: from low level scouts to an area scouts and gone

215
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: through that whole process. He trusts his you know, college

216
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: Scouting UH director Joe Ortiz all of it. Like there's

217
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: a culture process that needs to take place, and Asie

218
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: established that, and to your point, Eric has continued that

219
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: put his own twist on things. But I think that

220
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: that is something that is such a critical piece of

221
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 1: the equation um and also in addition to talent evaluation

222
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 1: from a player standpoint, it's talent evaluation from your own

223
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: staff standpoint, Like knowing which scouts are good talent evaluators

224
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: is a really important piece of the equation and finding

225
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: guys that you you can trust to go and ask

226
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 1: whatever seven year old scout to go down to the

227
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: southeast and scout the s SEC and say, all right,

228
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: find us, find us these next next great players, find

229
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 1: us the next Brandon Williams, find us the next whoever. Um,

230
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: that's what scouts are entrusted to do all across the country.

231
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: And the Ravens have some of the best and and

232
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: that's because they've been trained in the system. Uh. And

233
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: Eric does a great job of building them up. So

234
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: I think that there's a lot more that goes into

235
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: it than just having an eye for talent. Yeah, alright,

236
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: last email here comes from John Blevins. He said, um

237
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,160

Speaker 1: I still know how to write, I still know how

256
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: to operate a keyboard. I have been enjoying the written

257
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: mail bag. It's nice. It's kind of cool, except for

258
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: the week where I just duplicated all of your questions

259
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,719
Speaker 1: and yeah, you're an idiot. I believe I did that.

260
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: I just read it, answer all the questions you'd already answered,

261
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: and I had to redo it. It was terrible. You're

267
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: and he wanted to come and say hi, but he

268
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: didn't do it, and he felt he felt dumb that

269
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: he didn't come side say hi. Well, hello, John, anybody

270
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 1: who sees us in public, I don't get much of

271
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: this because Garrett is our on camera guy, right, so

272
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 1: people don't really know what I look like. I keep

273
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: a low profile, right. Garrett gets hit up all time,

274
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 1: gets free drinks at bars. If I ever want to

275
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: go out drinking, I go out drinking in Baltimore. Garrett

276
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: Becase Garrett. He's up there, he's getting free drinks, he's

277
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: signing autographs. He's I mean, Garrett's the star here. I'm

278
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: just a peon. But anyway, I appreciate it, John, and

279
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: do say hi. How the autographs have you signed in

280
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: your life? Garrett? I don't know. I don't know. That's

281
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: that's not guess. Keep up moving on with the email.

282
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: That's not what this is. You know. The funniest thing,

283
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: And it has happened a couple of times. It's the worst.

284
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: If someone's like, man, I love your stuff for the

285
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: Ravens on like thanks man, and they're like, alright, alright, Ryan,

286
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: keep up the great work. I'm like, oh no, oh no,

287
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: that's the best. Then you have somebody that had like

288
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: a really good autograph on their football and they wanted

289
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: you to autograph it too, and you're like, I just can't.

290
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: Yeah it was Jonathan Ogden. It was Jonathan Ogden, and

291
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: I was like, I can't. And then it happened again

292
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: at the Pro Bowl. It was Hardball. I was like,

293
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: I that do you have with John Harball signed shirt

294
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: or hat or whatever it was. And I'm just gonna

295
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: ruin the value of this, and you're gonna put it

296
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: in your basement or whatever. And people are gonna be like,

297
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: the Hardball autograph is awesome, But who's this other guy? Why?

298
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: Why did you? Five years from now you're looking at

299
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: that autograph? I feel like, who was that? Gosh, that

300
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: was a bad decision. So I always feel bad if

301
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: someone asked me to sign something like that, But I

302
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: always like, I trust me on this. You will be

303
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: happy that I don't sign it. Yeah. Anyway, all right,

304
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: back to John. Sorry John, it's just too many tangents here,

305
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: says I'm completely blown away by Eric Cass's attitude for

306
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: handling the roster and Fellar cap since he's taken over.

307
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: He's really mastered the office of general manager. After so

308
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: many years of training under Azzie. I knew he would

309
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: be good at it, but I could not have imagined

310
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: the type of moves he's made in just over a

311
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: year on the job. So really nice email from John.

312
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: Couldn't agree more. Eric has been fantastic, uh everything he turn.

313
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: He touched her in the goal last year and so

314
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: far it looks like a lot of the same team.

315
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: I mean when the Brocker's deal fell through, to the

316
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: quickly jump on Derek Wolf and get him at the

317
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: price point that he got him at, I thought it

318
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: was a great move. And I also wonder side note

319
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: about that. I wonder if because his contract. Now we

320
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: just talked about the incentives, and I don't know how

321
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: they all factor in, But could the contract for Derek

322
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: Wolf off set the Seth Roberts signing, let's say, or

323
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: maybe a peanut right in terms of your compic and

324
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: now the big deal that Michael Pierce got for nine

325
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: million average per year, you don't lose that pick right right, right,

326
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: the Brockers and Pierce would have canceled each other up.

327
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: But now maybe this this Wolf deal cancels out a

328
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: lower compic so right, so then I think that that's

329
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: another added layer. Maybe it's a fourth could you get

330
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: us for Michael Pierce potentially that's in that range round

331
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: depending on how he plays, right, right, how much he plays. Yeah,

332
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: that's an interesting that's an interesting dynamic. And again, just

333
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: to reiterate, I think that goes back to overall roster

334
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: management and that's something that the Ravens have done so well.

335
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 1: So um, I mean, we're talking a lot about roster management,

336
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: but a big piece of that is the draft. So

337
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: let's let's talk a little bit about the draft. We

338
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 1: did this with kenmy Cusick yesterday, which I thought was good,

339
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: but I just think it's a it's a good time

340
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: to talk about to dive a little bit deeper into

341
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: these options for the draft and also talk about some

342
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: of the options, uh, you know, how the Ravens could

343
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: approach it from a position standpoint, like what what makes

344
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: sense in the different rounds. So let's start with the

345
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: obvious one, the low hanging fruit, which is linebacker in

346
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: the first round. So Ken says yesterday if you listen

347
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: to the podcast with him and Brian McFarland, but he

348
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: doesn't think that taking Patrick Queen or Kenneth Murray would

349
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: be worth the worth the value there. The value for

350
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: either of those players is not there at number twenty eight.

351
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: Peter Schrager has a mock draft today on NFL dot

352
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: Com or he has both of them gone before the

353
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: Ravens are on the board, and he says that he

354
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: talked to uh an NFL executive who said that Kenneth

355
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: Murray was one of the most impressive interviews that he's

356
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: ever seen at the Combine, and that was that goes

357
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 1: back to what I was saying when I came back

358
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: from the Combine, where I had the attitude of this

359
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,479
Speaker 1: is this is this guy real? He just seems too

360
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: good to be true. And I think there's gonna be

361
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: teams that fall in love with the person in addition

362
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: to the player, and that might be the Ravens. So

363
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, when Ken said that yesterday,

364
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure if I'm on the same page with him.

365
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: And as I read things like this from Shraeger, I

366
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 1: I also wonder if if one of those linebackers were there,

367
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: I'd have a really really difficult time not taking them

368
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: at number twenty eight. Yeah, I agree with you, Um,

369
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: but I I do you think there's some merit to

370
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: his point? You know, I think that that is legitimate,

371
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: And of course it matters who else is on the board. Right.

372
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 1: The question is, let's say there's a stud outside linebacker,

373
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: pass rusher guy that you feel like could step into

374
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: it's real Suggs role. Now the question of that is

375
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: what happens to jail Ferguson because I thought he was

376
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: the guy stepping into that role. But but anyway, let's

377
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: say that there's a stud outside linebacker that is a

378
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 1: position of more value generally speaking, is there gonna be

379
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: a stud outside Who's a stud outside linebacker that's available

380
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: at the end of the first round? Like, well, I

381
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: mean Clavon Chason maybe from LSU. You know, Daniel Jeremiah

382
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: has him as his twenty five best prospect in this

383
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: year's draft and is on his big board. So is

384
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: he in play for the Ravens there or maybe move

385
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: up a little bit? I mean a j Epinesta what

386
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: about him? He certainly could be. Um, So what about

387
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: a wide receiver? Is that a position of more value

388
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 1: than inside linebacker? Per se? Right? For the Ravens specifically,

389
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:49,959
Speaker 1: you know a team that is has gotten by got

390
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: By last year without a study inside linebacker, and now

391
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: of course you get a study into Labacker, it makes

392
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: you that much better. But maybe it's all a bouncing

393
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: active active value here, maybe te Higgins. If a wide

394
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: receivers there like te Higgins, is that more valuable? You know,

395
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: Gross Mantos from the edge. It's you bring up Daniel

396
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: Jeremiah's list of top fifty prospects. He's got Queen at

397
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: fifteen and Murray at eighteen. So I get your point.

398
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: Like I agree, position position wise, if you're talking about

399
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: where you build your team and the most important positions

400
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: on the field inside linebackers is not at the top

401
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: of the list. Um, So I understand that, Like that

402
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: makes sense, But I do I do think that. Um,

403
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just if I'm just saying, if

404
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: either of those guys are there at eight to think

405
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 1: about going with another pick, another going in another direction there,

406
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: that just would be really surprising to me because I

407
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 1: think you because they can be with the plug and

408
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: play starters, and I think there is something to be

409
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: said for you get a guy the end of the

410
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: first round, who can be a starting difference maker for

411
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: your defense from day one. You don't gotta worry about it.

412
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: I mean, how nice was it for five years of c. J.

413
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: Mosley that you just knew he was gonna go make

414
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: every single tackle and and be one of the best

415
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: players at that position. I think Queen or Murray have

416
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: that potential of being that level of player at that position. Yeah,

417
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: I agree with that. I mean, I think they're in

418
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,479
Speaker 1: a little bit of a different mold than c. J. Mosley,

419
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: which don't a bad thing, you know. I think they're

420
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: a little bit moreline signline speed playmaker as whereas CJ

421
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: was this kind of rock, I mean, downhill rock. And

422
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: so maybe what I kind of like about them is

423
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: you have this defensive line now that is going to

424
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: do a lot of the heavy lifting in terms of

425
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: run stopping and provide pass rush. Now you have you

426
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: add in a linebacker who's just a jack of all trades,

427
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: a great blitzer, a playmaker in that kind of regard,

428
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: and you set him loose just to create kind of chaos,

429
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: like he doesn't have to be the safety blanket right now.

430
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: That kind of suits what I see from Kenneth Murray

431
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: and Patrick Crean really well is send those guys, put

432
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: them on the edge, to put them a lot of blitzing,

433
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: a lot of getting after cornerbacks. I like that what

434
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 1: they would bring that way. But what I want to

435
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 1: kind of talk about is who is the pick if

436
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: it's not an inside lie back, because it's not one

437
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 1: of those guys, because there's so many people that say

438
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 1: it is, or like, if there's any way that one

439
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: of them is sitting on the board that that's going

440
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: to be the pick. What if it's not. Well, a

441
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 1: player who I've daused cold water on at the start

442
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: and his name hasn't been coming out lately in the

443
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: mock draft is DeAndre Swift, running back from Georgia, and

444
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: the thinking on him that everybody who who's made that

445
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: projection was just the best player available. And because that's

446
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: the thing that I've really struggled with is that there's

447
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 1: if if one of those linebackers isn't there, you're now

448
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: into the fourth or fifth best receiver territory. Um you're

449
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: into the fourth or fifth best past rusher. There's not

450
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: a clear offensive lineman probably that would make sense there,

451
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: So maybe you just take the best running back um,

452
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,719
Speaker 1: and you feel really good about it. And even if

453
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: he's getting I don't know of the carries this year,

454
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: maybe that's fine. Maybe that's maybe that's fine. And and

455
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a bell cow running back for the

456
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: next several years. Um, you know, eventually taking over from

457
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: Mark Ingram down the road and and in the immediacy. Uh,

458
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: he's a good backup to Ingram. Like I'm starting to

459
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 1: wonder if that could be the move. Yeah, I don't

460
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: see that one happening. I I projected running back more

461
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: in the third round, third or four, that maybe you

462
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: can take a shot of the guy that can take

463
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: over from Mark eventually. Um, I just don't see a

464
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: first round and pick on that right now. Uh now

465
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: before they I'm not opposed to a first round running back.

466
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: I think that having a dynamic running back in this

467
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: offense is hugely important. But the Ravens have that in

468
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: Mark right and and I guess I'm just not to

469
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: the point where I'm ready to start finding his replacement yet. Yeah,

470
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: that's a thing. And especially like spending big time draft

471
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: capital and on doing so, I think it's fine to

472
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,959
Speaker 1: take a shot on somebody in the middle rounds. And say, well,

473
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: maybe maybe this guy really just impresses us and he

474
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: eventually does take over for him. But I don't know,

475
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 1: you know, And and and last year the Ravens kind

476
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: of took a shot on Justice Hill in the middle

477
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 1: rounds as a speedback. It kind of change the pace

478
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: sky Maybe Justice could end up being a bell Cow

479
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: number one guy. But you know, that was kind of

480
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: a move that I think helped you now and provided

481
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: a wrinkle to what you currently had this tier. If

482
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: I if they take a shot, I see that on

483
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: being somebody that could potentially be a number one, right,

484
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: Like maybe they don't even see much time as a

485
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: rookie because of Mark and whatnot, but they could eventually

486
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 1: take over that role of being a league guy. All right,

487
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: So if it's the other the other optioning you brought

488
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: this up, it's like an edge. So some of the

489
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: guys that I think would make sense there could potentially

490
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: be etr Grossmatos from Penn State. Uh, you can look

491
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: at a J Pezza. That's that's that's my pick. I

492
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: thought you already had other picks. No, no, no, no,

493
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: I'm just saying if under this scenario, if it's not

494
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: could be an inside linebacker. I think makes a lot

495
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: of sense. I think he's a guy. Yeah, I think

496
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: he's a guy that could slide because of the combine.

497
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: And I just look at this guy and he just

498
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: he kind of yells raven to me, right, I mean

499
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: big physical production. Uh, all three of those are raven.

500
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: Just high motor, tough, all those things. You know, people

501
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: are kind of questioning him because of the combined results. Whatever.

502
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: We'll take that. We've done it time and time again.

503
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 1: Hello to We're all sug slow Orlando Brown Jr. Uh,

504
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just sitting here. Daniel Jeremiah has him

505
00:25:55,720 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: at twenty six in his top fifty players over all.

506
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: Evanessa is the high, very high floor as a prospect.

507
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 1: He should be a consistent eight to ten sack performer

508
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: at the very least, sign me up. Yeah. If you

509
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: get an eight to ten sack performer at any point,

510
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that's he's a boy. That's that's Matthew Judean

511
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: who just wants the Pro Bowl and he's taught. You know,

512
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,719
Speaker 1: people talk about him getting he's and you see your

513
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: franchise player and if you're to get a long term contract,

514
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: he's probably talking eight teen million year or something like that.

515
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: So that's if if, if, if he turns out to

516
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: be that and you get him a twenty eight, that

517
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: would be an absolute home run. Glaren Slam, whatever analogy

518
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: you want to use. I don't think he's gonna be there.

519
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything well, I don't think he's

520
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: gonna be the pick. I think that he I agree

521
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: with him being the high floor guy seems to be

522
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: a lower ceiling guy because of some of the intangibles,

523
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: not intangibles, but some of the measurables. UM, and that's

524
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: the combine stuff. UM and jeremiahs right. Was Orlando Brown

525
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: a low ceiling guy in Europeans? No, but I think

526
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: that there's there's a difference between offensive tackle running of

527
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: forty and then a outside linebacker going through all those drills.

528
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: I do think that there's a difference in the value

529
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,959
Speaker 1: that you place on the combine depending on the position

530
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: that they play. UM, but I think Edvanessa could be

531
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: a really good player. I just I think that you know,

532
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: last year, my attitude when we talked about how all

533
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: of this is gonna go, we looked at wide receiver

534
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 1: and we were both all in on a j Brown

535
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: felt like he'd be the he was the higher floor,

536
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: maybe lower ceiling guy. As we talked about it and

537
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: the Ravens went with the higher ceiling option in Hollywood, Brown,

538
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: I just felt like that that might be the new norm,

539
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: is that they go for guys that have a higher ceiling,

540
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: particularly in the first round. M That's why. And then

541
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: we were talking earlier this week about Patrick Queen or

542
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,479
Speaker 1: Kenneth Murder. Although I think those two are are neck

543
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: and neck, they're right there next to each other. I

544
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: don't think there's a huge difference. You'd be happy with

545
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: either of them. But why I shaded towards Queen a

546
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: little bit for the same reason. Okay, so you're thinking

547
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: Tee Higgins, Yeah, Tee Higgins could certainly be that guy

548
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: if you go wide receiver. I think te Higgins is

549
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: somebody that you can be really fired up about. I mean,

550
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: he's a big guy, Like if you were to put

551
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: him in this offense, I think he could be a

552
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: impact player from day one, and I like him a lot.

553
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: I think that there's a lot to be excited about

554
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: if they were to go with Tee Higgins. If you're

555
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: saying I'll be surprised if it's the first round wide receiver.

556
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: I would to value that that exists in the second round. Well,

557
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: that's maybe the Ravens feel like by the time they

558
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: get up on in the second round, all these guys

559
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: are gonna be gone. You know. I could see him

560
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: trading up in the second round and trying to get somebody, um,

561
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: trying to pick a wide receiver for they're off because

562
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: I think a lot of teams are looking at the

563
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: second round. Is that's where I get my wide receiver. Yeah,

564
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: But like I am, I am, I would be surprised

565
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: if they go back to back receiver, especially when the

566
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: offense was already the best offense in the NFL and

567
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: it's not like the biggest need on the team. But

568
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: when you talk about high ceiling and finding young guys

569
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: to pay with Lamar, I just wouldn't be shocked if

570
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: it were a T. Higgins. I really, as I've said

571
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: a million times, I would love to find the offensive

572
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: linemen to take there. I really would. But I don't

573
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: know who that is. Like the Michigan Center has been

574
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: has come up? Caesar Ruise or Caesar um um yeah,

575
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: Caesar Ruise right, um yeah, to me, I feel like

576
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: he might be more in the second round option. You

577
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: hope that you can get him in the second round,

578
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: as opposed to like I would think about a tackle

579
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: or like someone who's not You're not convinced he could

580
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: be a tackle in the NFL, And so as a

581
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: result of that, he's false to the end of the

582
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: first round and we take him. It's like, oh, we

583
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: never were planning to put him a tackle and put

584
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: him a guard and you're set. Uh, But I don't

585
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: know who that guy is there just doesn't seem to

586
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: be somebody who's in that late first territory. Now Cody

587
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: forward with somebody last year who ended up following. And

588
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: remember we spent a lot of time talking about him

589
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: the offensive lineman's in Oklahoma. He ended up being there

590
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: and the Ravens passed. So maybe there's a guy on

591
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: the offensive line and it was kind of the same

592
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: reason for him. Maybe there's ends up being a guy

593
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: there like a Cody four. He does fall, but based

594
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: on the projections of the Mox right now, I don't

595
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: know who that is. Yeah, yeah, I would agree with you.

596
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: I sees the reason I think would be an interesting

597
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: second round target maybe a trade up guy potentially. Um,

598
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: I mean you're talking about it. Probably the best interior

599
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: UH player in the Sears draft, so coming out of Michigan,

600
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: So the Ravens will have a little bit more knowledge

601
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: about him during these crazy COVID times. They can get

602
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: a good scouting report on him from Jim Harbaugh. So

603
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: I'd be interested in if he were to slide into

604
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: the middle of the second round. I think the Ravens

605
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: will give a very hard look at him. Yeah, but

606
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: I agree with you. It doesn't seem like there's a

607
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: first round interior got offensive lineman for Baltimore this year? Awesome? Yeah,

608
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: I agree. All right, So with all that said, let's

609
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: get into the real draft, the most important draft, and

610
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: that is our draft. And I've I've I've been pretty

611
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: fourth grade about saying I have a dope bunker. I

612
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: am very fortunate that my wife jumped on things early here.

613
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: Literally haven't left the house in three weeks. So you basically,

614
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: when when they talk about people hoarding food and preventing

615
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: other people from getting groceries, you're the problem. Well that, hey,

616
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: that hasn't been I haven't heard that not people will

617
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: be getting people can go to the grocery store. It's

618
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: just how many trips you make to the grocery store. Right,

619
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: I'm trying to not make any tips to the grocery store,

620
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: right right, No, I I feel you. But there's still food,

621
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: so it's not like that's really been a problem. But

622
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: early on, when they when the grocery stores were completely

623
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: depleted because of hoarders, you were the problem. And people wait,

624
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: people waiting in line for three hours to get a

625
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,719
Speaker 1: roll of toilet paper. Yeah. I was yucking it up

626
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: at the toilet paper. I shouldn't. I should Well, it's

627
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: toilet paper, so second laugh at that. But anyway, yes,

628
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: I was like you all late to the party. I was.

629
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: My wife had me prepared anyway. All right, let's get

630
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: into the draft here. Okay, we have twelve items. I'll

631
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: i'll run through them here. Alright, okay, yeah, I'll run

632
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: through the list here and we're gonna go through. Here's here.

633
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: It is peanut butter FROs and pizza, canned beans, cliff bars, pasta, cereal,

634
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: toilet paper. That's who I'm here, you talk about. I

635
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: know where you're going. Apple sauce, cantu in a bottle,

636
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: water ramin soup and coffee. Okay, that's twelve, right, yeah,

637
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: that's twelve all right, So that's saper scissors. Yeah, it's

638
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: a little bit more difficult to do rock paper scissors,

639
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: you know, when we're not actually face to face. But

640
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: we'll give it a shot here now that wait just

641
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: for just to make this clear, this isn't like based

642
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: off of what we already have. This is like if

643
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: we're starting a bunker from scratch, what do we buy it? Right?

644
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: And you know what, something else we should say, and

645
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: we've done this for other drafts, something we intentionally left

646
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: out before you hit us up and say, oh man,

647
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: you forgot beer. We left that off because we always

648
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: do that, and then it ends up being the same

649
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: joke every time, where we say enjoy your dry bunker

650
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: quarantine time, it's the same thing because we only have

651
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: so many jokes. So we decided to leave that off

652
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: this time. That's intentional. Good point, good, alright, ready all right,

653
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: paper paper scissors? Shoot? Oh yeah, rock all right? Oh well,

654
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: I guess I should have had a first round pick

655
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: ready to go. Huh, probably should have. This is all

656
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: you The clock ran out, clock ran out, you're off

657
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: the clock. I'm on the clock. Yeah, I'll go with

658
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,040

00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: with my first or overall pick. I'm gonna go peanut butter. Oh,

660
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: that's the shot to the heart. That's a shot to

661
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: the heart. I'm a peanut butter guy. I know what

662
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: you just talked about. All the peanut butter you've been

663
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 1: stealing from the podcast, from the from the facility. Uh,

667
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: I still have a couple of left. I don't. I

668
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 1: don't give it to the kids. That's only for me,

669
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: and I can't. I'm good at savoring things, right, A

670
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: couple of tubs left? All right? Easy second, easy pick

671
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: for me. And this is probably honestly better than peanut butter.

672
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: And that's frozen pizza, because there's no better food in

673
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 1: the world than pizza. Now, the frozen stuff sucks in

674
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: comparison to the fresh stuff. Like, what is the orange

675
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: sauce on frozen pe Why is this tomato sauce orange?

676

00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 1: you know delivery, but frozen pizza is still good. We're

Speaker 1: want to spend too much time talking about that one.

Speaker 1: You know there's running tap water that's in place right now.

758
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna assume that under these circumstances that

759
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 1: it's it's as is that we still have running water.

760
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna pass on bottled water. I'm gonna go

761
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: ahead take tuna again. It is a strong you can

762
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,359
Speaker 1: put it on sandwiches, it can be a dinner. It's

763
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's not a I don't love cantuna,

764
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,839
Speaker 1: but when when we're in a bunker situation to get

765
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 1: it as a late pick, I'm happy with that. Cantuna

766
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: is disgusting. It's not I would rather eat anything on

767
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,359
Speaker 1: this list than canny. But here's the thing. You also

768
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: got to talk about balance. You know, when you got

769
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,280
Speaker 1: I got my ram and soup and my beans, there's

770
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:17,240
Speaker 1: it's not well. Pizza is a great pick. Pizzas the winner.

771
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: You know, that's a great pick. It should have been

772
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,240
Speaker 1: the number one overall pick. But you peanut butter, peanut

773
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: butter protein protein, peanut butter, cliff bars. You gotta get

774
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: that sustenance. Tuna protein all right, I'm taking So what

775
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: do we have left here? I have apple sauce, coffee,

776
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: and bottle of water. I get two of the three. Oh,

777
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: this is a tricky one. This is a tricky one.

778
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:48,399
Speaker 1: I'm taking apple sauce. I'm taking apple sauce. Just one

779
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: bite of beans another buy to apple sauce, a little sweetness.

780
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: Apple sauce is pretty solid, it's healthy, sugary, gives you

781
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: a little pick me up. Apple sauce is great. You

782
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 1: know I've I've sent them in in my bunker, so

783
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: I sprinkle a little cinnamon in there. That adds a

784
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 1: little something nice. Apple sauce is not something I've eaten once.

785
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 1: I've been double dishes in age once I got to

786
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 1: ten plus. That's a lie. I haven't had apple sauce.

787
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: So that's a lot of pick. I knew that you

788
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: were going to take that when you put it on

789
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,280
Speaker 1: the list. I was like, that's a classic mink item,

790
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: apple sauce. Who eats apple sauce? But I'm not surprised

791
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 1: you picked it. So now it's between bottle water and coffee,

792
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:30,320
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna I like, I love coffee, but in

793
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: a bunker situation, emergency situation, I would much rather have

794
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 1: bottled water at my disposal instead of coffee I'm gonna have.

795
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: I would rather have the emergency supply of water. Well,

796
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: you're an idiot because obviously with coffee, I have water

797
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 1: to brew my coffee. So that's the water is already on.

798
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: It's you already. You already said we're in our current situation.

799
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 1: We have water. There. You were those people that were

800
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 1: buying tons of bottled water when it's all started going down,

801
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 1: and I was like, what are you doing? It's not

802
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 1: like the water shut off? Yeah, but for that person,

803
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 1: you know, am I am? I rational? For the last pick,

804
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 1: it was our current situation, but now actually for the

805
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: last for the last pick, you need to really think

806
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: about things getting drastically different. And so I'm just an

807
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: emergency bunker prepper here. So I've got bottled water. Enjoy

808
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,399
Speaker 1: your coffee beans with your spoiled water, because the tap

809
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 1: water doesn't work anymore. So enjoy. I'll just chew him up. Also,
