1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: Welcome into the Lounge, presented by DraftKings. We are here 2 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: with NFL Networks. Daniel Jeremiah Daniel, thank you for joining us. 3 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,320 Speaker 1: That's great to be with you. I think we've done 4 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: these interviews from my house. I think we've done it 5 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,480 Speaker 1: from my backyard, and today we're actually in a hotel. 6 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 1: So I'm just trying to give you guys a little 7 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: different view. Every time that we got to get perfect perfect, 8 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,960 Speaker 1: I remember this, I remember this. I also remember you 9 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: have quite the track record with predicting the Ravens first 10 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: round picks. Here you you're kind of getting a reputation 11 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,599 Speaker 1: a little bit here. Yeah, don't read into that. It's 12 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: a blind squirrel fall finding a couple of nuts there, 13 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: and that's all that is. But now, and these mock 14 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: drafts are so hard. You're trying to guess on these teams. 15 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: You find a year where you get a third of 16 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,480 Speaker 1: them right, you feel like you've hit the lottery. So 17 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: I've just been lucky a few times with the Ravens 18 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: in terms of at least you know a little bit 19 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: of the background there and the history there, of knowing 20 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: some of the things that they like in players, and 21 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: one of the reasons why they're so good year in 22 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: and year out, so consistent as they have a type. 23 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: So he trying identify it is that you go from there, Well, 24 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: you have Joey Porter Junior as your most recent mock 25 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: draft pick the Penn State corner. What is it about 26 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: him and why is he the Ravens type at corner? 27 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 1: Because I'm selfish and I want to see a man 28 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: by the name of Joey Porter with his dad Joey Porter. 29 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 1: Oh my god, it'd be amazing. I want to see 30 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: if his dad would rock a Ravens hat in the 31 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: in the stands there in the stadium. That's why. So 32 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: I'm going to test his limits in terms of his 33 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: role as a father as well as a steeler legend. 34 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: So I think he fits the need. Obviously, you look 35 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: at big corners and the success going back, you know, 36 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: all the way to Chris McAlister and obviously the run 37 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: that Marlin Humphrey has been on there. They appreciate big, 38 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: long rangey athletic corners and that's what Joey Porter Junior is. 39 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: So it's a position where they could stand and to 40 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: get a little younger and and that would be an 41 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: unbelievable fit, and the connection between the Steelers and the 42 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 1: Ravens just makes it a little fun now staying I 43 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: guess staying with Corners, there's another guy in the Ravens range, 44 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: Deontay Banks, who actually had a great combine at least 45 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: numbers wise. M just curious if you rate of Porter 46 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,239 Speaker 1: over Banks, and tell me what you think of Banks, 47 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: whether he'd be a good fit as well with the 48 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: Ravens A corner. Yeah, I'm a big fan of both 49 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: those guys. So I actually have Porter just one spot 50 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: over Banks in terms of the corner stacked for me. 51 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: So I think either one of those guys as a 52 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: home run pick and you hit it on Banks, he's 53 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: aced the process. You know. What he did at the 54 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: combine was impressive to run like he did, to move 55 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: around like he did, and he's a tough kid when 56 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: you watch him on tape. So I don't know there's 57 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: a wrong answer there on that one. I don't think 58 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: you can go wrong. The thing about Porter that just 59 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: makes him unique is there's long arms and then there's 60 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: like Kevin Durant like this is that it's freaky. He's 61 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: got thirty four inch arms, which is highly unusual for 62 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: a corner. Those guys are hard, hard, hard to find. 63 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: So that was kind of a little tiebreaker there for 64 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: me with him at Banks, Okay, is porter? Is he 65 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 1: a guy who you could see him as a playmaker? 66 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: You mentioned the side of his arms. I mean, is 67 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: he a guy who I guess also his tackling too, 68 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: and a guy who might be able to move around 69 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: in the secondary if you know Mike McDonald wants to 70 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: use him as far as matching up in different spots. Yeah, 71 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: you know, he's been more of a poke the ball 72 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: away guy than take the ball away. So that's one 73 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: of the things you want to see him get a 74 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: little bit better at is creating more turnovers in that regard. 75 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: But the thing that's unique about him is that, you know, 76 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: you always talk about being in phase as a corner, 77 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: Are you in position to make plays? Usually is, But 78 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: even if he isn't, that length of mouse allows him 79 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: to cover that distance, so it looks like he's open 80 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, go go, gadget arms and 81 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: he can go get it and knock it away. So 82 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: that's been more of his deal. You know, It's interesting 83 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: comparison with him and Christian Gonzalez for that. To me 84 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: for the second corner, I like Devin Witherspoon is the 85 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: best one in the draft. But if you're just looking 86 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: at those two guys specifically, I think Porter's a little 87 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: more physical, a little tougher, where as Christian Gonzalez a 88 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: little more fluid, a little more smooth as a mover. 89 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: So I ended up with Gonzalez just ahead of Porter. 90 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: But those are you know, when you look at those 91 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: two guys and you throw Banks in the mix. There, 92 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: those are all corners over the line over six foot 93 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 1: all of all three of them can really really run 94 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: and uh and I think are plug in play starters. Now, 95 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: of course we would be remiss if we didn't talk 96 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 1: about wide receiver. With the Baltimore Ravens, it's every it's 97 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: every year. So I know that you had Jordan Addison 98 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: as your first guy off the board pre Combine, that 99 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: he was kind of your top guy, and obviously a 100 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: Combine forty wasn't kind of what people had expected or hoped, 101 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 1: so you have him dropping down into to pick twenty 102 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: right now as it stands. The Seahawks, you also, I 103 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: think told me in our conference call that you feel 104 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: like Zay Flowers is probably the best fit for the Ravens. 105 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: Can you tell all these listeners, the lounge listeners, why yeah, 106 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: I love Zay Flowers. To me, when you look at 107 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: Zay Flowers and you look at the size, it is 108 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: darnier identical to Steve Smith Senior, who I get a 109 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: chance to work with it, who Ravens fans know quite 110 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 1: well from his time there. So that's, you know, that's 111 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: what you're hoping. Obviously, that's an elite, elite player of 112 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: a future Hall of Famer with Steve Smith. So I 113 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: don't want to put that on him, but this is 114 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 1: a guy that can play that type of role and 115 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 1: plays that type of way, a really, really good player. 116 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: I still have Addison personally as my top rated wide receiver, 117 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: but I do think he could slip a little bit. 118 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: When when you go to the combine and you check 119 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: in at one hundred and seventy three pounds, you need 120 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: to run a blistering forty to kind of maintain your 121 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: value around the league. And you know, I ran four 122 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: to forty nine. It's it's a good time. No shame 123 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: in that plenty fast enough, But I just think the 124 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: combination of maybe not quite the size that you're looking for, 125 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: maybe not quite as explosive as your thought. I think 126 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: that could slide him down the board a little bit. 127 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: I still think he's the most gifted receiver. I think 128 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: he's going to be excellent at the next level. And 129 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: that's where you have to kind of balance of what 130 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: you think of a guy individually versus what his value 131 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: might be around the league. So why do you feel 132 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: like he's the most gifted receiver and what makes him, 133 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: you know, stand out from even a guy like Jackson 134 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: Smith and Jigbo who's kind of rising up boards now 135 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: after his para day. What is it about about Adderley 136 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: or Addison that you really love and make him the 137 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 1: most gifted guy? Yeah, I think he's inside outside, you 138 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: know Smith and Jigbo. To me, he is a pure slot. 139 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: That's where he has been. I think that's where he's 140 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 1: going to live. So, you know, you have different styles there. 141 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: I think he can get in and out quicker and 142 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: he's got just a little more pop. So we can 143 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: talk about forty times and look at those, But in 144 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: terms of juice out of the break point, I think 145 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: Addison has that. I think both guys have really good hands. 146 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: Addison can play outside the frame really well, so those 147 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 1: would be the advantages in his column. I think if 148 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,239 Speaker 1: you look for the things that Smith and Jigba does better, 149 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: just play strength, maybe working in some of those muddy 150 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 1: areas in the middle of the field as a as 151 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: a pure slot receiver, that's his that's his deal. But 152 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: I think Addison's got unbelievable hands, create separation, And I 153 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: think after the catch, and even though the forty times 154 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: might be literally identical, you can see Smith and Jigba 155 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: get hawked down and run down a good bit, and 156 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: when Addison gets the ball out in the open field, 157 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: he's he's gone. They haven't many able to bring him in. 158 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: So I think there's a little bit after the catch 159 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: where I give him a not as well. See, you're 160 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: making me feel good, DJ, because I love Addison. I 161 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: mean when I watched him at pit, I just loved 162 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: him and pick it U the plays that they used 163 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: to make everybody knew that you had to contain those 164 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: two guys. It wasn't a powerhous team they were playing on. 165 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: But he just seemed like a guy. He he created separation, 166 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: He seemed like he knows how to use his speed, 167 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: you know when to turn it on. You know, runs 168 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: great routes and I was a little surprised that he 169 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: didn't run better because he to me, he plays faster 170 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: than those times. He's not a blazer, but to me, 171 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: he really knows how to separate and he's kind of 172 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: NFL ready, so to speak. So I'm really interested to 173 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: see how he does, whether he Aaron's up in Baltimore 174 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: or not. And because I just think Addison, I would 175 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: I would kind of like to see him in a 176 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: Raven's uniform. He's too exactly and that would be great, 177 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: you know, he'd be juice to play here. But yeah, 178 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: I just think that he's a guy who's who's going 179 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: to have a good FL career. I agree with that. Yeah, 180 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of his And it was interesting 181 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: to see at their prote the other day. I saw 182 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: I did see a comment from him when they asked 183 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: who he liked to, you know, study, and who he 184 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: compared himself to. It was the one that I had 185 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: looked at when I studied him, which was Calvin Ridley. 186 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: You know who we're going to see back in the 187 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,959 Speaker 1: league this year. I'm excited to see him in Jacksonville. 188 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: You know, he got reinstated coming off of that suspension. 189 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: But he's a true number one wide receiver, somebody that's 190 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: a fantastic route runner that you know. There's one little 191 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: thing when you watch whiteouts and you see him come 192 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 1: out of the break and say, you're running deep on 193 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: a deep end cut, you're on an over route and 194 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: the balls on the money. You will see guys who 195 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: trust their hands because they will run right through the ball. 196 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: And you will see other guys who what we call 197 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: and scouting him, talking about how they'll gather, they'll try 198 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: and gather and secure. And this dude has so much 199 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: confidence in his hands. He runs right through it and 200 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: he'll snatch it, attack it and go. So I think 201 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: he's got really really natural hands. And I'm with you, 202 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: you know, and some of it if you look at 203 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: him and Smith and Jigbare having the same forty time, 204 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: which it really was from the pro day for Smith 205 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: and Jigbo in the combine, for Addison, Smith and Jigben 206 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: in play this year. I mean he's been training for 207 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: the combine, he's been training for shuttle girls and forties, 208 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 1: you know, the entire season while Addison was playing at 209 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: USC until an injury at the very end of the 210 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: season derailed him. But you know, there's there's a little 211 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: bit difference between play speed with those two players. Well, 212 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: it would be so ravens for them to get the 213 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: guy who slides down the board because you know of 214 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: some knock in the pre draft product. That's just so Ravens. 215 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they fall on their lap. It's it's it's 216 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: pretty funny. We just say, when we were in Baltimore, 217 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: we would joke about the fact that we felt like 218 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: that always happened to Pittsburgh. I can't remember this specifically. 219 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: They Oh, gosh, why am I going to draw a 220 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: blank on him? Here at the big tight end? Keith Miller. 221 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: Keith Miller. We're sitting there and he had a little 222 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: you know, he couldn't work out for the draft process 223 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: because he had a little bit of a back issue. Yeah, 224 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: but he was such a great player, and it's slowly 225 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: as he started a drift. I can just remember Ozzie 226 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: and they're going, this guy's gonna fall right in the 227 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: Steelers lap. You watch sen very well, even last year. 228 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: The first quarterback off the board. They need a quarterback 229 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: bad Kenny Pickett from pitt Lands right in their lab. 230 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you know you kid meet Come on now, Yeah, 231 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: you can't script it any better. It's this. There's the 232 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 1: reason why some of these teams are good. A lot 233 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: of it's because of how well they're running, some of it. 234 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: Some of it good fortune as well. Yeah. Now, one thing, obviously, 235 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: with Lamar situation makes this a very unique offseason for 236 00:10:55,679 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: the Ravens. H you have Hendon Hooker right now at 237 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: twenty three. Any chance you think that the Ravens would 238 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: be tempted to take him at twenty two if they 239 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: can't reach a long term deal with Lamar Jackson before 240 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: the draft. Yeah, I wouldn't put anything past them. I 241 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: know some people will look at the similarity in age 242 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: between hen and Hooker and Lamar and so this is 243 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: kind of bizarre that they would do that, But it's 244 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: not the age. It's resetting the financial clock you would 245 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: do if you ended up making that move, And obviously 246 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: you'd think at that point in time a trade, you know, 247 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: would be in the works and you'd be able to 248 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,719 Speaker 1: get some assets to continue to build around a young 249 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: quarterback on a cheap rookie contract. So I wouldn't rule 250 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: that out. I think that's an avenue you have to 251 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: explore if you're the Ravens. You know, I feel bad 252 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: for him from the standpoint that, whether it is with 253 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: Lamar or without Lamar, the hardest spot to be in 254 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: as an organization is the is just the insecurity of 255 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: knowing right. You just want some finality to it one 256 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: way or the other so you can plan accordingly. It's 257 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: it's got to be incredibly difficult for Eric and those 258 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: guys to try and formulate their plan not knowing if 259 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: Lamar is going to be a part of this thing 260 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: or not. What is it about head and Hooker that 261 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: you really like? Everything's there? You know. I wish he 262 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: was younger. I wish he wasn't coming off of an 263 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: acl I wish he played in a little bit more 264 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: of a traditional offense than that you know, Baylor passing 265 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: attack they have there at Tennessee, or they literally spread 266 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: you from sea to shining sea out there. It's a 267 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: different game, you know, come out of that offense into 268 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: a pro offense, that'll be an adjustment. But if you 269 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: look at the skills and you say, Okay, I love 270 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: the size, I love the arm, strength. I love the athleticism, 271 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: I love the accuracy and decision making. I've heard wonderful 272 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: things about him in terms of his work, ethic, his intelligence, leadership, 273 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: Like that's a long list that he's checked. Now, that's 274 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: a lot of things in his favor. So yes, I 275 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: wish he was twenty instead of you know what he is. 276 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: I wish he was, you know, coming off of a 277 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,439 Speaker 1: year completely healthy. But I still think when you look 278 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 1: at what's in front of him in his career, I 279 00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: think this guy's got a chance to be an eight 280 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: to ten years starter, and a quality starter at that. 281 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I mean, does age matter that 282 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 1: much at quarterback? I mean, how old's Tom Brady been? Yeah, yeah, 283 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: I know exactly. Although although I'm gonna institute a rule 284 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: that we can never use Tom Brady in any comparisons ever, 285 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: because I saw I saw this on television the other 286 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: day where somebody was talking about how hey, you know, 287 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: we uh, you know, we don't you know, everybody's trying 288 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: to find an athletic quarterback and Tom Brady's won all 289 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,599 Speaker 1: these super Bowls And I'm like, yeah, look around the 290 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: rest of the league. How much statuesque pocket quarterbacks do 291 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: we have yeah, playoffs? None of these. All these guys 292 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: can move. They're all athletic like right Tom. But let's 293 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: put him in a different category. So I gotta ask 294 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: you. You You know Eric da Costa, He's coming into this 295 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: thing with five picks as it stands right now, broke 296 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: a long streak without a compensatory pick. How bad is 297 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: Eric just itching to get more picks? If they end 298 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 1: up with only five picks? I mean, I got a 299 00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: piece of paper in front of me, I'll eat it. 300 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: There's no way. And it might not be the first 301 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: round pick that they trade back, and maybe it's a 302 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: player on their roster that they trade. But he loves 303 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: the draft too much. They've been too good at it 304 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: in terms of bringing in players, and those are cheap 305 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: starters that you can find in the draft. For him 306 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: to only have five picks would be a complete stunner. 307 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: I would be flabbergas and insert whatever other words you 308 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: want there. I would be shocked. You mentioned talking about 309 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: the quarterback at Tennessee. There's a wide receiver. They're also 310 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: Jalen Hyatt, a scott As speed guy. He's been mentioned too, 311 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: is me or maybe Ravens looking for a receiver. Can 312 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: you talk about him and is he kind of a 313 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: one trick pony just a guy who you know is 314 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: a deep threat, or do you feel like if he 315 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: could fit in Baltimore into what they may be doing 316 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: with Todd Monkin and to change his offensive coordinator. Yeah, 317 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, I'm curious to see Todd 318 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: Monkins been in so many different types of offenses throughout 319 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: his career, so um and again think think about him 320 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: trying to figure out am I trying to set up 321 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: a system from Lamar Jackson or somebody is there's some 322 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: chance that we don't have Lamar Jackson? Then that that 323 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: shakes up everything. So I don't envy him trying to 324 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: install and put in an offense, not you know, having concrete, uh, 325 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: you know, solid information on what's going on with your quarterback. 326 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: But when it comes to Jalen Hyatt, he is a 327 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: pure of your vertical guy. He's an over the top player. 328 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: You know, you use a term one trick pony. It's 329 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: if you're gonna have one trick, it's a good one 330 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: when you can probably get on top of people and 331 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: uh and be a home run hitter. I just think 332 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: when you look at his kind of uh uh, you know, 333 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: his his profile, it's a second round profile. This receivers 334 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: like this go in the second round. That's that's that's 335 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: where they are. I think that's where he ends up. 336 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: I believe I have him. He's my thirty sixth player 337 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: around there on my top fifty list, so you know, 338 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: that puts him right there in the middle of the 339 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: second round. But that's yeah, you have a role for him. 340 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: Think about will Fuller, what he is, what he was 341 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: in his career. Think about Ted Gain the role he's played, 342 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: you know, and his career, had a long, successful career. 343 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: Maybe not what everybody expected he was going to be 344 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: as high as he was picked. But speed plays, and 345 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: if you've got that speed and you've got you know, 346 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: good hands, which he does, there's a place for him. 347 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: One receiver we haven't talked about who's kind of been 348 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: linked to leasing some amount, does Quinton Johnson of TCUM. 349 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: I guess you're impressions of him. I'm curious number one 350 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: and number two, you think there's any way that he 351 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: could be a Ravens guy that's sort of a bigger 352 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: body receiver over a guy like Flowers or over a 353 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: guy like Addison, if he's still available with his any 354 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: chance they might take him instead. I mean, there's always 355 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: a chance. He just to me and I think he's talented. 356 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: He's big, he can runs, he's really physical and tough 357 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: after the catch. But with him, he's got one of 358 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: the highest drop rates of any receiver in the draft class. 359 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: So he doesn't have consistent hands. He's a little bit tight, 360 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: so he doesn't run the full route tree. And to 361 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: be honest, you know, coming out of that conference, if 362 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: you go back and look at that conference, we pulled 363 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: it up. I talked about it the common I believe 364 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: the number was of like the last seventeen Whiteouts that 365 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: have been top three picks out of the Big twelve, 366 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 1: three of them have produced a single thousand yard season 367 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: in the NFL. So it is a different game that 368 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 1: they play in the Big twelve. It's free access, it's 369 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: free releases off the line of scrimmage, not a whole 370 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 1: heck of a lot of defense and a lot of space. 371 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: It's a different game. So, and you can go through 372 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: the list of guys, it's a lot of first round 373 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 1: picks and it's a trail of tears. So you got 374 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: to be careful with guys coming out of there. And 375 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: one of the things that a lot of those guys 376 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: who didn't have success. If you think about Kevin White 377 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: and Corey Coleman, and you've seen Denzel Mims, and we 378 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: can go all the way on, Hollywood's one of the few, 379 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: the few guys, right exactly, it's Hollywood, It's Locket, and 380 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: then it is Ceedee lamb. Those are the three. And 381 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,479 Speaker 1: if you look at those three guys, what do they 382 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 1: have in common? Those are complete route tree guys. Those 383 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: weren't height, weight speed guys who were just running slants, 384 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 1: posts and goes like they can run real routes. So 385 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: you know, that's why when you get straight line, little stiff, 386 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: heightweight speed guys, man, that I get a little nervous. 387 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 1: So the Ravens top two needs are pretty clear. Corner 388 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: and wide receiver. As we've talked a lot about here. 389 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: Let's say they don't take a wide receiver in the 390 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 1: first round. Let's say they go corner like Joey Porter Jr. 391 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: You know, he mocked. Who are some third round wide 392 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: receivers as it stands now, because they don't have a 393 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: second round pick that's Roquan Smith. Who are some third 394 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: round wide receivers that fit their profile? Well, you're looking 395 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 1: for speed guys, there's a couple of interesting ones. Charlie 396 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,199 Speaker 1: Jones from Purdue and Tyler Scott from Cincinnati would probably 397 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 1: be the two I would point to. And I think 398 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: those guys can do more than just get on top. 399 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,880 Speaker 1: Not only did they run really well, I think they 400 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: can be full route tree guys. I think they're third 401 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: round type players. I really like Cedric Tillman from Tennessee, 402 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 1: who gives you a little more size and physicality and 403 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: who runs well enough. I think he's got a chance 404 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: to evolve and grow into a good number two wide receiver. 405 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: So so those are some of the guys. If you 406 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: want to go a little bit beyond that. You know, 407 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: Jaden Reid's in the mix at a Michigan State. You 408 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 1: know some will have him even a little bit higher 409 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: than maybe even I do. But I think, you know, 410 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: third fourth round is probably the sweet spot for him, 411 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 1: and a guy that's coming off of you know, has 412 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: had some injuries during his career, so maybe you get 413 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,199 Speaker 1: a discount on him. As Pooka Nakua and if Raven fans. 414 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: You know, obviously being in that division, you remember what t. J. 415 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: Hush Menzata looked like as a player at Cincinnati. I 416 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: think coming out of BYU, there's a lot of similarities there. 417 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 1: And ironically he's been training with hush Menzata run up 418 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: to the draft, so he's a real pure, polished route runner. 419 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: Dominated the first day at the Senior Bowl. Unfortunately again 420 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: injury got him and he wasn't able to finish the week. 421 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,199 Speaker 1: But maybe that's somebody that's a fifth round pick in 422 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: this draft. Allan guess I'll ask the same question Ryan 423 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: just did. As far as corners. Let's say the Ravens 424 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: do good a wide receiver in the first round. When 425 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: you get in the third round, who are some corners 426 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 1: who you could see maybe fitting into what they would 427 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: want to do? Yeah, I mean the guy would jump 428 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: right into my mind is Julius Brents from Kansas State. 429 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: You know, jumped out of the gym at the combine, 430 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 1: had had a really good pro day, didn't run quite 431 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: the forty I thought he would based off of the 432 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: jumps which were outrageous, but a really, really good, really 433 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,959 Speaker 1: athletic player. I feel bad for him. By the way 434 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: because we've been doing all this Bryce Young coverage at 435 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: the network and he's in the most perfect coverage down 436 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,120 Speaker 1: the field against Alabama, and you see Bryce Young drop 437 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 1: a ball down the chimney in the back of the 438 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 1: end zone. I'm like, man, Jill Port, Julius Prince is 439 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,959 Speaker 1: getting worn out. He can't be in any better position 440 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 1: than he is on that just perfect row. But he's 441 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: a really good player. Riley Moss from Iowa. You know, 442 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: everybody knows about the Ravens and their connections with Kirk 443 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 1: Ferns there, They're gonna know everything about Iowa football players. 444 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna probably be a third round pick. 445 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: Eli Ricks from Alabama, another place where the Ravens are 446 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: gonna be dialed in and have great information. Obviously they're 447 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,400 Speaker 1: at Alabama. Then I would say Darius Rush from South 448 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,919 Speaker 1: Carolina would be one more. All right, last question for me, 449 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 1: dj if we if they don't go wide receiver or 450 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,199 Speaker 1: a corner at twenty two in the first round, I 451 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: mean pass rusher d Lynman. You know, Clais Campbell remains 452 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: to be seen if he comes back. Is there a 453 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 1: fit there outside of those two most glaring needs that 454 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 1: you think, yeah, I could, I could see that. You know, 455 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: I wouldn't sleep on edge rusher, Yeah, because the Ravens 456 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: are always hunting value. And I think because there's so 457 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: much depth at edge rusher in this draft, I think 458 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,199 Speaker 1: you might be getting a traditionally higher rated player at 459 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 1: that position this year where they're located in this draft. 460 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: So whether that's Will McDonald from from Iowa State, maybe 461 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 1: it's Keyon White from Georgia Tech. These guys are ultra explosive, 462 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 1: ultra athletic edge guys that are going to be pushed 463 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: down the board a little bit just because of the 464 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,360 Speaker 1: volume we have this year. But I think I've got 465 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: ten edge rushers in my top fifty. So even if 466 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: you're getting the fifth sixth guy, you're still getting a 467 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: darn good player. And you know you can't have enough 468 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: of them. They've got some intriguing guys there, But I 469 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,159 Speaker 1: think you can make the case there's more. You know, 470 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: there's more needed there when you look around the league 471 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: at the top top teams, in the depth that they 472 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: can roll through upfront, there's nothing wrong with having more. 473 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,719 Speaker 1: Awesome Well, Daniel, thank you so much for joining me 474 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: to all our listeners.

There may be no Steelers player in 500 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: history who's talked more smack about the Ravens than Joey 501 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: Porter than his dad. Can you imagine? I mean, god, 502 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: that would be amazing. Yeah, just kidding all those years, right, 503 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 1: just kah, I take it all back. Hey, Well they 504 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: say blood, blood is thicker than water. So hey, if 505 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 1: you can't root against your son going anywhere to me 506 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 1: in the NFL, so you just have to swallow it. 507 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: If I'm joy poor seeing get some Ravens gear, but 508 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: it would it would be great, a great story. It 509 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: would be great to uh, you know, see it, see 510 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: him here at the combine, you know. I asked him 511 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 1: about that, and he said, look, that's more of his 512 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,360 Speaker 1: father's deal than his deal. He didn't grow up loathing 513 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: the Ravens, which is good to hear, so he just 514 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: wants to play. I think he would, you know, love 515 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:14,919 Speaker 1: it here and be a great fit. But yes, as 516 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: you mentioned, it would be a great story that. I mean, 517 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 1: that's a prime that's some good social media content right there. 518 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 1: The first time Joey Porter has to put on a 519 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: Raven's hat. I mean, if we draft the kid, we've 520 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 1: got to get that on video, right, just like to 521 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: see him grinning and burying it. Just that that's good content. 522 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,959 Speaker 1: That just it'd be amazing. M So some good some 523 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: interesting stuff about the wide receivers. I didn't know, Cliff 524 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: that you're such a Jordan Addison guy. Yeah, I am. Again. 525 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: I watched him a lot at PITT, and I just 526 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: love the way he played. I wasn't even thinking about 527 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 1: him at that point, you know, maybe one day being 528 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 1: a raven um. I just like Pitt being a team 529 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 1: that um you know, would pick it and ask and 530 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: they had like an attitude, you know what I mean. 531 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: They weren't again most of the time they play, a 532 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: lot of time they play, they were the underdog. But 533 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 1: the guy just made plays and he was always wide open. 534 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 1: As DJ said, great hands right, yeah he stood, he 535 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: jumped out. And then all of a sudden this year, 536 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 1: you know, he goes to sc doesn't actually play as well. 537 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 1: But now you start reading all these mock drafts that 538 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 1: he seems he's gonna fit right where the Ravens are 539 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,120 Speaker 1: going to be drafting. So I am an Addison guy. 540 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: Although Zay Flowers on tape looks great, explosive, as is 541 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: just a guy I'm familiar with, and I do feel 542 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: that wherever he lands, he's gonna have a really nice career. 543 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: It just feels like Raid in those early twenties that 544 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: wide receivers and corners start popping in a bunch of 545 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 1: mock drafts, and like it just feels to me like 546 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 1: the Ravens are gonna address one of those positions there 547 00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,160 Speaker 1: at twenty two, like that there's gonna be somebody, are 548 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 1: multiple players there that they like that fills a position 549 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: of need. I would just be you know, I asked 550 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,679 Speaker 1: DJ the question about what other surprises could there be, 551 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 1: but it just seems it seems kismet, you know, like 552 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: there's all these wide receivers, there's all these corners that 553 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: are coming off the board right then, and I feel 554 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: like the Ravens are gonna grab one of them. And honestly, 555 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: if it's Addison, if it's a Flowers, if it's Smith 556 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: and Jigba, give me any of them give me any 557 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: of them. I'll take any of them right now because 558 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 1: I think that all of them have something unique and 559 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 1: would really help this offense. And I feel the same 560 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: way about Corner. Give me Joey Porter, Junior, Deontay Banks. 561 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: I'm fine with any of them. And even if you 562 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: trade back and were to get one of them or 563 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: take an edge rusher or something like that, you know, 564 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: Will McDonald, like DJ mentioned like, it just seems to 565 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,880 Speaker 1: be set up pretty well for the Ravens of first 566 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: round where they can address one of their top three knees, 567 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 1: specifically the top two at number twenty two, right, I mean, yeah, 568 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 1: it is hard for me to envision it not being 569 00:26:58,240 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: I'll just say to top two while I've seen or 570 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: wide receiver, a corner. At this point, they'll have too 571 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: many options at two positions where they're looking to make 572 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: the pick, but I'll just throw the cavat. I mean, 573 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: who thought different spot? But who thought Kyle Hamilton was 574 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,199 Speaker 1: going to end up? So you just never know. On 575 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: draft knifef there's that one guy that they love at 576 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,199 Speaker 1: not one of these positions who happens to fall. It 577 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: could still happen, that's one of the reasons with draft 578 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,479 Speaker 1: is so interesting. But if you ask me who that 579 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,919 Speaker 1: guy is would be? Who would fall to that spot 580 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: twenty two? Who wasn't a corner a wide receiver? Right 581 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,360 Speaker 1: now I could, I really couldn't give you that name 582 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: who I think it would be, So yeah, I'll be 583 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,880 Speaker 1: surprised it's not a wide receiver corner at this point. Well, 584 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 1: we spend so much time talking about picking number twenty two, 585 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 1: and obviously the Lamar Jackson situation could up end all 586 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 1: of this. You know, if a team were to sign 587 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: him to an offer sheet, and you know, the Ravens 588 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: end up with another first round pick this year and 589 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,880 Speaker 1: one next year, or a trade happens, it all could 590 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: get blown up at any point. So you have no idea, No, 591 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: we don't. And like I love DJ's comment about eating 592 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 1: paper if they only stick with five picks, So yeah, 593 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 1: I mean that could blow it up too. You get 594 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: to twenty two and then you know, the old familiar 595 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,159 Speaker 1: Ravens announced they've made a trade. So we spent all 596 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 1: his time thinking him they're gonna pick it twenty two. 597 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: Will it happen? Yeah, right, Well, not surprising me if 598 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 1: they traded back exactly like we're talking about it. If 599 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: there's multiple guys at the corner or wide receiver on 600 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 1: the board, a trade back, I would say is probably 601 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: likely at that point, I could see that. Yeah, it's 602 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,239 Speaker 1: all a lot to be determined, a lot to be 603 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 1: ironed out. I will say this, I think that probably 604 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: running back in the Bijan Robinson pick was kind of 605 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 1: the curveball that people would occasionally throw, you know. The 606 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: draft an lists were like, oh, maybe the Ravens go 607 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: with Bijan. I don't see it with the top three 608 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: guys all returning next year, No, I don't. And plus Robinson, 609 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 1: when you watch them on tape, I can see why 610 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: people love them. I think, to somebody, somebody snatching him, 611 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: I think he's going to be twenty two year Yeah, 612 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 1: he's gonna be the one back who gets picked in 613 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: the first round, I think, and I can understand why. 614 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 1: I do think he has a chance to be special. Yeah. Anyway, well, 615 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 1: thank you for joining me. As always, cliff Ton, we're 616 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: kind of you're stepping in.
