Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Welcome into the Lounge presented by DraftKings. I'm Ryan Mink
here with Garrett Downing, and today is the day.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Garrett.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
We've worked on our seven round mock drafts for a
long time and it is finally time to reveal who
we think the Ravens will pick.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Did I go eleven for eleven this year?

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Garrett?

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Did I?

Speaker 3 (00:26):
One of these years you're gonna we're gonna do this
podcast and you're not gonna make that same one of
these years that's gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
I've made that joke before we started Taming, and Bryson
shook his head.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Well, you make that joke in the start of every
single one of these seven round mob draft podcasts, And
in all honesty, this is one of my favorite episodes
of the year. We probably spend more time talking about
this episode than any other episode of the entire year
because it's basically debated for months leading into the draft,
and then whoever ends up winning in terms of getting

(00:56):
more right has bragging rights for a full year, which
it's been many years since you've actually won in this competition,
so we're going to see that trying to continues again
this year.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
It's been an up and down performance from me, mostly down,
mostly down. I mean, it's pretty hard, honestly, Like the
fact that we get so many right, I'll I'll never forget.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
I hit Justice Hill on the head.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Just go back, go back ten years, Justice Hill, who
signed an extension, great pick by me and the Ravens
obviously hit it on the head.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Hit Keith winning twenty.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
You're really going way back. Wow, I forgot about that one.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
I think I have some others. I definitely have some others.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, the fact that we hit any is honestly pretty good.
Last year you got Rashien a Lee wrong round right
player though, so I'll give you credit on that. Yeah,
you've been I'll give it to you.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
You've been better than I have been.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
Especially days in the years the admission.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
But now conversely, on all of our drafts, I've just
been smoking you lately. I've focused too much on the
off the field drafts and the rock paper scissors strategy,
not enough on my mock drafts.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Now.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
But this year is different because usually I tinker like
a crazy I overthink that's my problem. I overthink it.
This year, I think I've underthought it. So maybe that's.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
It's like it's kind of like the approach in the
NCAA bracket where someone just goes out there and picks
like the favorite mascot or the number one seeds or
their favorite yeah whatever, they like the colors, and then
they end up winning the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
That's not really it.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
I you know, I just haven't like, I got a
later start this year, so I haven't had as much
time to tinker with things, which is a good thing.
And there's a bit of a George Costanza like if
everything I do is wrong.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Do the opposite.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah, right, So if you go against your instincts at
every turn, except I didn't really do that with my
first round pick at least, then you're bound to be right.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
The last point I'll make about that that's humorous as
you talk about I haven't been ankering. I've gotten two
emails today. I got the final version. I got the
final version of the mock this morning, and since that
came in around nine am, two additional email changes. We're
recording this round one o'clock on Tuesday, so there's been

(03:14):
three versions of the final mock draft.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
That's good for me. That's good for me.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
And so you're saying that that's an improvement. So that
tells the listeners all that you need to know. And yeah,
that's just part of the process. Lots of changes, and
this is this is this is the final, ironclad, laminated
version of the mock draft. And the other thing that
I will say is that you do have a track
record and I know your first round pick, so I

(03:39):
don't think this will happen, But you do have a
track record of picking somebody projecting them in the first
round and then they end up lasting far longer than that.
Not only did the Ravens pass on them, Like I
always think, I always like, my general philosophy is to
draft a guy who I feel like, if he's going
to be there, that would be a really good pick,
but there's a decent chance he ends up getting selected
prior to the Ravens being on the board, and your

(04:02):
philosophy is it's it's worse if they leave your guy
on the board. That's the worst feeling.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
So I definitely is I agree with you that, So
I don't know that i'll happen. They're just like they
were like, nah, we don't actually think this guy.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Is our guy. Guy, Yeah, And I don't know that
will happen for either of us this year. But I
love like when we were watching the draft and and if.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
When you're mister you're mister pie in the sky, you'rs
like everybody. You're like getting a second round prospect in
the fifth round and you're.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Like, oh man, I mean they want to take it them.
If you go there, they would have That's how you operate.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
Well, that's how the Ravens operate. They like to take value.
They like to take value. So, without any further ado,
we we've built this thing up enough. Uh, so let's
go ahead and jump into it. And just as a reminder,
we pick all eleven picks for the Ravens. We go,
no seven rounds, no trades, we just stick and pick
at all eleven spots. And uh and let's do it

(04:57):
all right.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
So I've been rock solid, as much as I like
to minker with my picks in previous years, including this year,
I've been rock solid with my first round pick, and
that is safety Malachi Starks out of Georgia.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
And I think he's just a total package.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
I mean, you look at not a crazy amount of
ball production, but you watch the tape and this guy
makes spectacular plays.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
On the ball.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
I mean, go check out his leaping interception against Clemson
and tell me this guy's not a ballhawk.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Nah, he has it right.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Really smart player that Georgia's coaches felt like could line
up all over the formation. They put a ton on
his plate communication leadership, he really did it all. And
we know how much of the Ravens value that versatility.
I think he's a good combination of a He's a
strong compliment to Kyle Hamilton because Malachi Starks is a
little bit more of your free safety prototype right body

(05:53):
wise what he does best, but also brings the versatility
where they can still mix and match those two guys,
like the Ravens don't. They're not static in their positions.
They're two safeties. They like to move them all over
the place, and Malki Stars can certainly do that.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
I love it from a player.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
You know, he's athletic, he's fluid, he's got all the athleticism.
I love it from a leadership standpoint. I just think
this guy screamed. You know he has a backstory was
he was homeless for several years during his upbringing. Everything
about this guy check all the boxes. He screams, Raven
To me, I.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Think Malki Starks would be a really good pick. I
think that that would unlock some things on the back
end of the defense, and so if that's the pick,
I will have no issue with that. I think that'd
be something that the Ravens would be excited about.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
I think what's going to be interesting is he and
Nick even worry the South Carolina safety who goes first
star Skua first.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
It could go either way.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
And honestly, if Nick even Worry were the pick by
the Ravens at twenty seven, I'd.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Be cool with that too.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Both are great players in my mind and would be
perfect here.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
To be honest, I wanted, like when I started doing
them the mock, I wanted to take Emon Worri because
I thought that would just be exciting. He's a little
bit bigger, He's runs a four three forty, and he's
just like testing wise, traits wise, he's kind of off
the charts and all these different physical categories. And he
also was productive at South Carolina as well, and so

(07:22):
for the for the testing levels for him, I was
I just felt like somebody will be like that guy
is too athletic to pass up and we're gonna take him.
He's gonna be off the board. And so I don't
know that he's gonna make it to twenty seven. Even
though you look at Stark's college production, big time school
playing at Georgia, like he probably had more production, was

(07:43):
a more productive player in college between the two of them,
even though Emon Warri was also you know, put up
some numbers as well. So I but I just think
the traits will lend itself to a team taking Emon
Worri earlier and taking a chance to this athletic freak.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
I completely agree. I think, you know, and he had
ball production too. I think what he did at the
Combine will ultimately move him. And just he's just a
rare athlete. When you're talking about size, speed, all of that,
he's a rare. I think he's a little bit more
of a rare athletic specimen than Malachi Starks.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
This. Yeah, I think just athletic testing skills, he's he
is higher on the charts on that and I and
and so I think it'd be really exciting for him
and Kyle Hamilton to be on the same defense like
those two safeties. He said it, even Warris said it
at the combine this year, like that would be scary
for the league. And I agree with him, those two
guys are rare breeds from a physical standpoint, But I
just don't think he's gonna get there. So if it

(08:39):
ends up being Malchi Starks, I think that would be
a really good pick. But I'm going a different direction.
I'm going in the trenches and I'm going with Derek
Harmon out of Oregon. And it's a question with both
these guys, the defensive tackle out of Oregon, it's always
a question whether either of them get to the Ravens.
But I just think when you look at him, all
the right ups on him say, this guy screams, like

(09:00):
in terms of the way he plays the game, was
he can he's productive in the run game, he can
bring some pass rush ability, Like he's.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Not a guy he's often in the backfield.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yeah, he had five sacks, eight and a half tackles
for loss last season, also had thirty nine quarterback hurry
so he can push the pocket and get after the passer.
And so just in terms of like the overall package
with him, run stopping ability, getting after the quarterback, and
I think the Ravens they want to continue to invest
in this defensive line. Michael Pierce retired, Travis Jones is

(09:30):
heading into the last year of his rookie contract. Of course,
they already have Nominie Mattabike signed Bran everybody is a
free agent. I think they want to reinvest in the
defensive line, and they want to get younger there, and
they want to have impact players there. And look, we
said this many times during the process, Like we all
saw what the Eagles did in the draft, the way
that they were able to completely disrupt the line of scrimmage,
push the pocket, get in Mahomes face in that Super Bowl,

(09:52):
and that was the difference in the game. And I
think a lot of teams, potentially the Ravens included, are
looking at that saying like, how can we have a
disruptive defensive front? And if you get Derek Harmon here,
that's exactly what he'll be able to do.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
I like the Derek Carmon pick a lot. And I
think that if he is there at twenty seven, strong possibility,
and between he and Malki Starks, if they were both
there at twenty seven, that'd be interesting.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
That's that's tough one.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
That's like the dream scenario for us, Oh, both of
them are there and then one of us has bragging rights.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
That would be amazing.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
That doesn't often happen, but that would be That would
be great. And honestly, that's kind of dream scenario for
the Ravens because I don't think he can go wrong
with either of them.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
I think Derek Carmen is also a very good compliment
to what the what Baltimore has already with Travis Jones
and Nomine Madabik. And you know, here's this big body,
tall kind of defensive tackle slash end. You know, I
think he'd be a really nice compliment for what they do.
And and yeah, I think the Ravens they've they've had
success going on the defensive line in the first round

(10:58):
out of Oregon, right, Yeah, not to be a pretty
darn good player.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
Different player from Derek Harmon in a way.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
But you know, Helodi was a in your backfield, disruptive
kind of player.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
He could wreck shop up there.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
And I think that that's what the Ravens would that's
what they could see with Derek Harmon. You know, we'd
watch the combine drills. We're not out there on the
field in Indianapolis, and I remember watching on TV and
I was watching the defensive line and go through drills,
and one guy just stuck out to me and it
was Derek Harmon, just always at the front of that group,
like locked in. Chuck Smith was working with some of

(11:32):
those guys and like, just I feel like we've been
doing this long enough. This sometimes guys just kind of
reminded you, like, yeah, that guy kind of feels like
a raven He was just front and center, serious look.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
On his face about his business and big.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
I was like that, I like that guy.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
Yeah, it is is Derek Harmon, So.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
I would like that pick a lot. I think that
that could certainly come true.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
Yeah. This is James Ogden, who we had on the
podcast last year from UK Ravens, who does a really
in depth draft guide. He goes through lots of different
players and specifically as they relate to the Ravens. Does
a really good job to so shout out to James.
He identified Harmon as a guy who's a perfect Ravens fit.
His draft copy says, take the best pit, the best

(12:16):
parts of Arthur Jones and Brandon Williams, more of them
together and that's what you get in Derek Carmon. Yeah,
I like that. That sounds good to me.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
So all right, all right, not a bad pick, Garrett,
not a bad pick. Let's move on the second round,
number fifty nine. Dan Brugler is gonna love this pick.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Cornerback Chavnravel, junior out of East Carolina. Look, this guy, big, physical, fast,
and he would be a first round pick if it
weren't likely, if it weren't for an ACL injury early
in the season, and everybody was buzzing about this guy,
you know, in the way too early mock drafts. People

(12:54):
were linking him to Baltimore before his injury in the
first round. Yeah, the Ravens have a track record. They're
willing to kind of roll the dice a little bit
and gamble on the talent coming off an injury. Erk
Kass is always looking for value, and you get great
value with Schevon Revel at fifty nine.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
I think again.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Backstory, the Ravens love players who have overcome adversity in
their personal life. That shows that they're capable when they
face adversity in the NFL of also overcoming that. Because
every player does. Chavon Revel had a ton of it.
I mean, this is a guy that was a no
star recruit, worked his way up, showed up at East

(13:34):
Carolina and impressed him in a tryout, was working at
an Amazon warehouse to make ends meet, gotten a major
car accident to left him with a fractured skull, came
back from that, and now he's coming back from acl
which by the way, he's, according to his physicians, reportedly
going to be ready in full go by training camp.
But the Ravens can't afford to be patient. They don't

(13:54):
need a cornerback to step in right now. They just
signed Cheeto bay A Wuzie, so they don't need him.
But the talent is so great there with the physicality
of the length, you know, I think he's he's shown
late in his career a knack for making plays and
getting his hands on the ball. I think it's all
there is for a really good value pick for the Ravens.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
A lot of people have tied him to the Ravens,
and when we had the podcast with Dan Bruger, he
he kind of sold me in a similar way to
that what you're talking about with Ravel and how he
could be a good fit for the Ravens on day two.
All that said, I honestly would be surprised that the
Ravens go that direction given the fact that he is
coming off the injury. He's twenty four years old.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
So there's a lot of older prospects are honestly like trend,
I tend to go younger, and I think that the
Ravens value that, and Eric Takusa seems to value that,
because it's just you have more time to work with
them and develop them than they really believe in.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
The Ravens coaches as they should.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
But there's not a lot of young guys out there,
to be honest, A lot of guys, you know, it
took the extra year because of the Code nineteen pandemic.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
You know, you have a lot of transfers, the nil
you know, the portal guys going through the portal.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
It's just a lot.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
Yeah, you're right. Well, there's a young corner out there,
and that's sorry Thomas out of Florida State.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
Who's not going to be there at fifty nine?

Speaker 3 (15:14):
Who who is Daniel Jeremiah has him sixtieth on his
big board, and so I'm getting him at fifty nine
and six one one corner out of Florida State, so
interesting both of us go corner in the second round.
Thomas is a guy kind of early in the process
who was mocked to the Ravens are mentioned floated around
as a potential first round pick. That talk has cooled

(15:35):
on him. I'd be surprised if he went in the
first rounds so as anything's possible, but it would surprise me.
Six one one ninety seven kind of fits the press
the press corner mold. The Ravens don't. I don't think
they're quite as press heavy as they were going back
ten years of.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
Jimmy's fifty's and so it's a.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
Little bit different now. But I still think like he
has that press man ability, team pass breakups eighty one tackles,
six and a half tackles for loss and an interception
and a force fumble over the last two years. So
he doesn't if you read all the reports on him,
he's not known as having great ball skills, but he's
got great size at athleticism, and he's twenty years old,
so you're getting four years there in comparison to those

(16:18):
two guys. Not that that's like the make or break
decision when it comes to drafting players, but a really
talented player still a little bit raw, has some maturing
to do in terms of I'm talking on the field
in terms of ball skills in production in that sense.
But I think if he's there for the Ravens at
that spot, that would be a great pick.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
I think corner makes a lot of sense in around
two and there's kind of a cluster of guys there
that could be in play for three evens. I think
that's a bit of a sweet spot for Baltimore second
round corner And because you look at it too, you
know Marlon Humphrey is on the ladder in the latter
part of his career, and then you know chietobey Ouzie.

(17:01):
As we mentioned, he's on a one year contract. So
I think they they could strike early at corner and
I think that there's gonna be some good options.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
And I like Thomas. I think he's a good player.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
Yeah, I think that, Like I had debate corner in
the first round, to be honest with you, Like I.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
Remember you were going John A. Barron there for a while.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
Honestly, the two that I thought about a long and
hard in the first round. John A. Barron is one
out of Texas and Maxwell Harriston out of Kentucky. Harston
is is really similar to Nate Wiggans ran a four
three forty so speed and athleticism off the charts. Big.
But I but I got.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
A bunch of interceptions.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
Yeah, Like, I really like Maxwell Harston and I don't think, honestly,
we spent enough time talking about him collectively during this process.
It's like, if he ends up being the pick, we're
gonna be like, how do they just take the scene.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Well, that's definitely gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Somebody that we haven't talked about at all will be
the Ravens first round pick.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
The other one too, I guess as we're mentioning that
Walter Nolan, a defensive lineman like him and Derek Carmon
depending on who you ask, they're right there neck connect
with each other and so like he's one very different players. Yeah,
but I'm saying into your defensive lineman, haven't talked about
him as much, another one who could be the pick.
So those are Mike, I really debated the first round
corner and went a different direction, But I like my

(18:10):
gut tells me the Ravens are going to use one
of their first two picks on a corner.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
I think that both agree with that. Both of our
guts are going that way. All right.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
Round three, it's time to get a pass rusher. I'm
going with Brayden Swinson out of LSU. This is a
high ceiling guy. I mean, you look at him, size,
six foot three, he's got speed, he's twitchy. I think
that he's just a late starter. He was a one
year starter at that program, and though it was a

(18:40):
good year, he led LSU in tackles for loss with thirteen,
had eight and a half sacks, and he had fifty
nine pressures, which by the way, was the fifth most
in the FBS. So toolsy prospect that I think early
on in his NFL career could be a sub package
pass rusher, kind of relieve some of the rash, you know,

(19:01):
Kyle van Noy, kind of takes some off his play,
potentially away those guys and just be another another fastball
for the Ravens off the edge.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
Well, I'm going I'm getting my safety in the third round,
and I'm getting Kevin Winston Junior out of Penn State. Okay,
six one, two fifteen. Honestly, the question on him, like,
like you give me a hard time about taking guys
and wondering if they're going to get there. Winston in
the third round, I think is a question. But he
also is coming off of torn ACL and so you
can get some value there. When you have guys coming

(19:31):
off an injury, that becomes a great unknown. No one
thought David a Jaba was going to be there for
the Ravens in.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
The second round.

Speaker 3 (19:36):
So if Winston gets to the Ravens, like he had
borderline first round potential before the injury, now he has
alleviated some of the concerns about the ACL. Ran A
four to four to five is pro day earlier this
month in the forty so he's back running again and
run in the four fourths. So brilliant. But like, this
is a guy he grew up in Columbia, Maryland, went
to to Mattha High School, played hossetball at Penn State.

(19:58):
So you get the hometown kid is to come back
and play for his hometown team play at Penn State.
So the Ravens have a recent history of going to
Penn State and getting guys to Dafe Jowey adsa Isaac,
So they've gone they've gone up to Happy Valley and
found those prospects, those defensive guys on that side of
the ball. Kevin Winston Junior, as a local kid, could
absolutely be the next one, and I think that it

(20:19):
would be a really good pick that you get, like
you get the value for the player getting him in
the third round again coming off the injury. So you
got to make sure a lot.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
Of ball production. He's talking about ballhawk.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
Yeah, yeah, he is. I mean he was. He was
definitely a ballhawk last year. He's just a guy that
has the ideal size at athleticism. Again runs that four four, five,
six one two fifteen, and he runs that coming off
to torn acl So like good program, good production, got
to make sure the medical checks out local kid, position
of need. Most a lot of the big boards would

(20:53):
have had him. I think second round firmly had the
injury not happen, maybe even creeping into that first round,
but maybe the Ravens end up getting him with great
value at the end of the third.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
You don't have a pass rusher on the first two days, well,
I can.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
Get into your pass rushers. As the Ravens like to
remind people, it's not just outside. Sure Sarak Gore told
us that we had him on the podcast. We said,
he made the point, it's not just outside pressure. Derek
Carmon can get you that pressure as a guy who
can push the pocket up the middle.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
You're not wrong, You're not wrong.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
I like Winston, and honestly, my only hesitation with Malachi
Starks is that I like some of these second and
potentially third round safeties.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
Also.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
I like Xavier Watts out of Notre Dame. Talk about
another playmaker. You know, a guy who got his hands
on the ball a lot. Played with Kyle Hoilton for
a year in college. There's a lot to like there.
I even think the kid out of Texas, the safety there,
I think is a good prospect, Winston. So I think
there's some good day to safeties that if the Ravens

(21:56):
don't go with my guy Malachi Starks in the first round,
or he's already told out of it, already talk about
I feel great about it if he's there, But if
he's off the board, then I think they have they
have some good options.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
Yeah, all right, so let's move on to the fourth round.
Who you got?

Speaker 1 (22:11):
I have a local kid, Speaking of local players, defensive
tackle Jordan Phillips out of Maryland, and I believe he
was one of your two defensive linemen to watch coming
out of the Combine. Yeah, this is another you want
to talk older prospects, he's one of the younger prospects
in this entire class.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
He's only twenty years old.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
Uh, you know, he didn't have a ton of college production,
two and a half tackles for loss and zero saxon
his twenty three starts in Maryland, but oh, premier athlete,
a ton of upside kind of you know, it reminds
me a little bit of Nom the Matabik coming out
of Texas A and m like just a freak athlete.
And uh, you know, he made the Bruce Felman's Freaks

(22:50):
List as one of the top athletic, most athletic guys
in college football coming into this year. You know, he's
versatile enough to play along the defense the front, but
he's really kind of a quick footed, uh nose tackle
who can also kind of shift over a little bit.
But with Michael Pierce retiring, Jordan Phillips could step in
there and off also maybe offer a little bit more

(23:12):
as an interior pass rusher. And so I think he'd
be a great fit in this line. That's your best
pick so far, that's my best pick really. Yeah, not
the Malachi.

Speaker 3 (23:21):
Jordan Phillips because they're gonna take Harmon in the first.
But but Jordan Phillips is a really good a really
good pick. I think he he's the type of player
that the Ravens like, has those traits that you're talking about.
Confident guy, confident, younger player, local prospect out of Maryland.
It's a it's a mandatory that you get to take
at least one.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
I haven't take it.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
Yeah, so he checks the box there. But I I
really do think, like I I talked about him at
the combine and the highlights some players who could be
good fits, and I, yeah, I should have stuck to
my pick there back of February to Derek Harmon. So
you couldn't. I couldn't run go back to back. But
I really do think that he if he ends up
being someone of the Ravens get in the fourth round,

(24:02):
mid rounds, like he would be a really good player
for this team.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
Yeah, So I'm going offensive side of the ball. I'm
going Carson Vincent Alabama A and m uh.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
Been Alabama A and M.

Speaker 3 (24:13):
Yeah, the great pipeline to the NFL. You know, it's
a small, smaller school prospect obviously, six seven, three fifteen.
He's been a starter for the last three years. Seven yeah.
So like basically, when I think of middle round offensive
lineman who the Ravens can draft, I think of project prospect,
like kind of a developmental type player. Look at what

(24:34):
Daniel Foleile was.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
Sure, but they've they've gone a lot with like the
big ten, four year starter they have also.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
They have done that. But I think that like you
you're in these middle rounds, I think that you if
you have a chance to get this guy's been a
starting left tackle again playing at Alabama A and M.
So it's not playing in the SEC, but three year
starter at that spot the last over the last three years.
And he has like this size that he would be

(25:03):
a kind of a ball of clay that he could
come in here and the could be molded and work
with this offensive line. I think that this is.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
A tackler guard.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
He was just left tackle in college, but so is
fall A Lea.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
So you're gonna go six seven guard potentially, is are
you drafting mostly to be a tackle?

Speaker 3 (25:21):
I think it depends what once he gets here and
how he looks. I mean, you're saying you're acting shocked
about a six seven guard, but how much how.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
Much weighs a lot more than that? Was it three twelve?

Speaker 3 (25:31):
I mean fall a Lea is as huge he's he's
I understand, but like a six seven, three twelve guard,
he's probably a tackle. He's probably going to be a tackle.
But again, it just depends on how he develops. The
Ravens get a guy who is like a developmental prospect.
He's not going to come in and play right away,
but you can develop him.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
And I think this is you know what, my my
pick a guard is way better than yours. Okay, I'm
going so that was your first fourth round pick, Yes, okay,
this is my second fourth round pick, number one thirty six.
This is Caleb Rogers out of Texas Tech. Six four
and a half, three twelve guard, much more of a
guard size, yes, sure, okay, comes from military family. He

(26:13):
was a he was a longtime started there, multi year starter,
military family. Not as Captain Rogers, that's what they call
him on the team.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
I mean, come on, come on, slam dugger right there.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
Okay, all right, he's a multiple starts at four different
offensive line positions.

Speaker 3 (26:31):
Yeah yeah, yeah, practice practices center.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
Okay, practice practice.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
He took some practice reps up to practice.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
Prospects in the pre Jeff process. They also put him
through center reps.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
Did great, can play off five positions as Pat McCarey reincarnated. Okay,
he's impressed. Some quickness laid on his feet again. Made
Bruce Felman's Freaks list of very athletic, the high upside developmental.
He can power clean four or six. He's fun hundred pounds.
Can you squad six?

Speaker 2 (27:02):
Can your guy? Can your pick a squad? He might
be able.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
I didn't get his power clean a squad and you
didn't do your research.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
But thankfully Caleb Rogers out of Texas Tech.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
The that's a mid round offensive line.

Speaker 3 (27:13):
The Railers are going to draft a mid round offensive lineman.
I think they're looking for They're looking for the big guy.
They're looking for the big development fifteen Alabama and they
turn over every stone.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
Well, look for that sec. I think Caleb Rodgers he
might even eat squirrel. All right, my next pick here,
my second fourth round pick. Uh, you want to talk
about a guy who's productive. Okay, you do not get
much more productive than Cam Skataboo, a running back, second

(27:45):
most rushing yards in college football last year, more than
seventeen hundred, behind only Ashton Genty, who's going to be
a top ten pick.

Speaker 3 (27:53):
This guy was.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
You don't have the Ravens fo Yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
Mean this guy, he's gonna catch the ball out a
back out of the backfield. Had more than six hundred
receiving yards last year. So I mean he If you
watched any Arizona State games, I know you're you were
watching a lot of earlier the same football late Saturday
night watching those games last year. But this guy was
the entire offense. He got the ball which just about
every single play put up, it can break, it can break, tackles,

(28:19):
good vision again, catches the ball out of the backfield
like I do. The Ravens have mentioned, and I want
to talk about this a little bit later, Like the
Ravens have mentioned multiple times in the draft process, the
possibility of adding a running back, which like you look
at the knees and you're like, running back is probably
the last position from a need standpoint, particularly this year.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Just drafted one.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
Last year you have Keith Mitchell coming back from the
injury and more expected from him, and then of course
you have Justice Sill and Derreck Henry.

Speaker 3 (28:44):
Yeah, and so it doesn't seem like it's a need
at all, but like they have mentioned it multiple times,
and so I think that they will draft a running
back and scatter you and like you just get one
of the most the second most productive running back in
the class, and you get him in the mid rounds
and that would be be a fun player to put
on this offense and just give Todd munkin another playmaker.

(29:05):
It's gonna be tough to get the ball to another
guy in that running back room, but man, it's got
to moo be a fun player to have in the mix.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
Well, to me at running back, and in my next pick,
round five, I'm going running back in the fifth round, Okay,
pick number one, seventy six, and I'm going with Jayden
Blue out of Texas. And to me, the running back need,
like you're saying, there's there's not like, oh we need
this type of player here. You're like taking it's almost

(29:35):
like a flyer right on. Maybe we just hit with
this guy and he ends up, you know, down the road.
Maybe you know, once Derrick Henry is done playing or whatever,
this guy could could take on a big role like
that is kind of what you're trying to do at
running back because as of now, maybe he'd be your
number three. So to me, Blue is an intriguing sh

(30:00):
shot to take. This is the guy who can. He's explosive,
he can, he can take it to the house at
any time. Ran the four three eight forty yard dash.
Just a dynamic talent. We're taking a shot on four
touchdowns in the college playoffs. Really kind of came on,
you know. Isn't the workhorse like Scataboo that you're projecting,
but a very talented guy. If you can kind of

(30:24):
get him dialed in and on the right track, he's
a flyer worth taking.

Speaker 3 (30:31):
Well, both of us. So, I mean those two picks
we both have running back.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
To fourth round I think is a little rich for
running back. Fifth is a different story.

Speaker 3 (30:38):
We're talking one difference in pick here.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
But but it's a pretty there's a lot of picks
between the.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
Forty picks in between. I know, but you're acting like
I'm taking the first round running back. We're one pick
apart here on our board round or we were trying
to make that like that's the difference. I do want
to come back to that. All right. My fifth round
pick here on seventy six is I finally get my
pass rusher, and in the fifth round I get one
of the most productive pass rushers in the class, David

(31:07):
Walker out of Central Arkansas.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
You're going to small school this year?

Speaker 3 (31:10):
Two of them. I had Vincent and now David Walker.
When we had the podcast with Mel Kuiper, he mentioned
David Walker's but the etential.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
Guy in the round? Did he mention him in?

Speaker 3 (31:19):
Well, the second that seems early, the second that seems way,
and you're taking him in the fifth and while a
lot of the mocks have him more in that four
or five six range. What are you saying, no, Mel, Well,
Mel might be Mel's right. I think that that's right.
I think the league is undervalue in David Walker. He
had thirty nine sacks in college, twenty three tackles for loss,

(31:40):
ten and a half sacks last year. The Ravens they
have done this many times and was really when Ozzie
was the GM more so than Eric. But they have
taken productive pass rushers from smaller schools. That's what they
did uh. That's what they did with Matthew Judon, That's
what they did with Jalen Ferguson. And so they've done this.
This has been a model and something that they have
gone to this this playbook many times. And so Walker

(32:03):
fits that mold of a player who's got a ton
of production in college, even though it's at a small school.
He can just get after the quarterback. So he's smaller,
That's why he went to a smaller He's sixty one,
two sixty three, so he doesn't have like the measurables
that you love, but you're getting him in the fifth round.
So if you're drafting a fifth round pass rusher, you're
either giving up the measurables or you're giving up the production.

(32:24):
Walker has a production and I think that's something that
the Ravens definitely would value at that spot. Let's take
a quick break. When we come back, we'll finish things
out here and give you our last few picks in
our seven round box. You're listening to the last podcast.
We're coming to you from the Sikik studio. We also
want to mention our partners at Draft King Sportsbook. There
an official sports betting partner of the Baltimore Ravens Draft
King Sportsbook. The crown is yours. So now we are

(32:47):
into the sixth round, which is going to be a busy,
busy day for Eric's costa. The Ravens right now have
four to sixth round picks. So who you got them?
Taking pick number one eighty three, come.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
Out of the gates and going with a specialist. This
is kicker Andres Borigalis from Miami, really one of the
top kickers in this year's draft, if not the best,
tied for fifth in the FBS, making ninety four point
seven percent of his field goal attempts. Just a reputation
for being accurate and clutch, two good things that I

(33:20):
want about my kicker, and just a very consistent swing.
And I feel like that's what Randy Brown and that
whole operation they've talked about so many times before, is consistency.
If you can just have a consistent swing, that's the
biggest difference, and that's how you get consistency as a kicker.
Consistent results comes from a consistent swing, and that's what

(33:41):
he has. I think that the Ravens have talked about,
you know, it's they're evaluating, they're taking a long look
at these kickers, and this is where they take their shot.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
All right, my six round pick at number one eighty three,
I have the Ravens going cornerback, double dip at cornerback,
going with Corey Black out of Oklahoma State, six foot
and ninety two pounds. He has like the physical makeup
of what the Ravens like. We're had a four three
five forty yard dash in the Big twelve Pro Day
against six foot one, ninety two three year starter at

(34:10):
Oklahoma State. You look at it, You're like, he didn't
get invited to the combine, and so you're like, this
guy was good player in college, has like the size
and the measurables, but doesn't get invited to the combine.
Didn't have a ton of pick production in college. But
I think just as a late round guy, you get
a productive player that has the great speed. I don't

(34:31):
see the negative there. I just think that he's a
potential potential late round steel.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
I don't know that the Ravens double dip at corner
in this year's draft. I think that'll be back to
back years double dipping at corner.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
I know the adage you can never have too many
corners and I subscribe to that, but.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
That would be a lot, I mean, and it.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
Would be pushing the limits on too many corners.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
CJ. Tampa.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
You know, they drafted him last year in the fourth
round and we all were thrilled to get him. Thought
he use a Day three steal, you know. So, like
I think the.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
Ravens, like, if they just have a chance to get
a really talented, size, speed, measurable type cornerback late in
the draft, do they feel like could develop into something special?
Why not?

Speaker 2 (35:15):
Well, it's it's the best player. I'm certainly not rolling
it out.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
I mean, if they feel what's Corey yeah, Corey Black, Yeah,
if they feel he's the best player on the board,
they'll do it.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
You know.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
I'm just saying, like at that point in the draft,
I think sometimes you are you're checking boxes a little
bit more late, you know, sixth seventh round, Like what
do we need here?

Speaker 3 (35:37):
I almost feel the other way though, like I feel
like you're taking shots. You're taking shots on like basically
this is a raw prospect who could develop into something special,
especially when you have eleven picks. And DaCosta even said
to the predraft pres conference, like we probably don't have
room on the roster for eleven picks. These guys are
all going to make the team, but bring them in.
Take the shot, compete, take some shots, and see what happens.

(35:59):
All right, here, let's move to round six, number two
oh three. This is an interesting pick.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
I'm going with wide receiver Jimmy Horn Junior out of Colorado.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
Explosive player.

Speaker 1 (36:09):
I'm getting some athletes, guys who were on the Bruce
Felvin Freaks List.

Speaker 3 (36:14):
I just went down that list and that's why. Just
check check check guys.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
I'm not saying that m Jimmy Horne wasn't on that,
but yeah, he what he is a very explosive guy.
Posted the highest speed nineteen point eighty one miles prior
during the gauntlet drill at the Combine. Speedy, shifty models
his game after DeShawn Jackson. I think he can certainly
be a vertical threat as a receiver, and he was

(36:38):
a good kick returner and punt returner, which was what
I was primarily looking for with this pick.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
Well, same here, I took a pick number two or
three my punt returner Tes Johnson out of Oregon, Okay,
super productive player in college. This guy was a volume
target slot receiver. Had more than thirty eight hundred receiving
urs twenty eight touchdowns in college. So on offense he
put up big numbers. And he also was a good
punk returner and kick returner in college average nine point

(37:05):
three yards per punk return. The knock on him is
that he's really small five ten one fifty four, so
he's a small guy.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
Jimmie Horn Junior ain't a big guy either.

Speaker 3 (37:15):
Yeah, so like that's that's the question on him. Small
slight player. Uh, what's the durability? Did have an injury
last year, so like how does he hold up in
the NFL just with the smaller frame? Uh? Ted Johnson
also ran in the four to five at four to
five at the combine.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
Wasn't he the guy that said he was going to
break the record?

Speaker 3 (37:34):
Yeah, I don't remember if he did that, but he
ran into four five. I mean he didn't have he
didn't have not have a great combine from a forty
forty yard dash standpoint. But again, monster production in college
and on the offensive side. The Ravens don't have a
huge need there for I don't wouldn't see him having
a big role on offense. But I think he could
step in right away potentially and be the starting punp
returner and then be used in spot duty if needed

(37:57):
on offense.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
Yeah, we're we're thinking along the same lines there. I
do think the Ravens certainly want to get a punt
returner primarily. I think that's more orange than kick returner
and two explosive players.

Speaker 3 (38:10):
Yep, all right.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
I don't like when we're on the same page.

Speaker 3 (38:14):
Yeah, well, different guys, same track record. That means that.
That actually means like I like that, but one of
us is definitely gonna be wrong. Probably you.

Speaker 1 (38:23):
They're gonna get a defensive tackle with that pick. We're
both picking like five foot nine and ten wide receivers. Yeah,
all right, round six, number two ten, This is my
big guy. Another defensive line, and that's Rob double Dipping
is on the D line. I'm going with Warren Brinson
out of Georgia. This might be my best pick. Okay, six, five,
three twelve. Stats don't jump off the page. But you know,

(38:44):
were there any other good Georgia defensive lineman playing along
there with him?

Speaker 2 (38:47):
You know?

Speaker 1 (38:48):
So he had a lot of good competition, a lot
of role models there. Worked out well for the Philadelphia
Eagles drafting big defensive lineman from that defensive line. So
I think that he's versatile, he's at he's big. He
could kind of step in and just be a good
rotational piece.

Speaker 2 (39:05):
And there's some upside there.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
He's got he has athleticism, you can develop him. A
lot of analysts are saying this is a deep starter class,
very deep at defense on the defensive line in particular.
Could Warren Brinson be that developmental rotational piece that could
maybe someday be a starter. I think he has that potential.

Speaker 3 (39:22):
All right, pick two ten for me.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
I'm go by the way, Sorry, Warren Brinson. Also, interesting
thing about him, big personality. Hosts, hosts podcasts. He's a podcast.
He's gonna put you out of work, So he's gonna
put me out of work. This is this is the
pick that puts me out of a job.

Speaker 3 (39:36):
All Right, there we go. We're gonna have him as
a host of the last So I've got a pick
two ten. Ryan Fitzgerald kicker out of Florida State, big leg.
I mean, it just depends, honestly with the kicker. Randy Brown,
as you mentioned, he's been looking at kickers all across
the country. The Ravens have talked about that.

Speaker 2 (39:52):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
And so Fitzgerald is considered one of the best in
the class, maybe the best, and and he could be
the guy there. So I've got the Ravens with Ryan Fitzgerald,
Florida State to ten.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
All right, last pick in the sixth round, I'm going
don't even think about taking it either.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
I'm taking tight end luke lecheh out of Iowa. Iowa
tight ends. Any success there, yeah, huh.

Speaker 1 (40:17):
George Kittle Laporta right, long Hopkinson long linnit and you're
getting one with the last your last pick in the
sixth round, say what, sign me up? Not like a
crazy athlete, but don't drop, don't put the ball on
the ground, big dude blocks. Well. Uh, you know, the

(40:38):
Ravens have three tight ends going into the final year
of their contract. I think that there's a pretty good
chance that they say, all right, we need to prepare
ourselves a little bit for the future with the fourth
tight end.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
Uh, and you get one out of Iowa.

Speaker 3 (40:52):
Well, just so listeners know, Make and I do not
compare these notes prior to us doing the podcast, but
I did send him. I mocked before he sent me
and I had I didn't look at it. I didn't
look at it. He says, he didn't look at it.
I had. I had the Ravens taking Luke.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
To take him.

Speaker 3 (41:11):
I so I sent the email to him. He then
copied my pick and said I'm going to go with him.
I told him he had to pick somebody else. He
wouldn't do it.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
I announced it first.

Speaker 3 (41:21):
You said it first. I actually had the Ravens taking
him with their last pick two forty three of the
seventh round. Wait, get the value there. Also also as
a Columbus guy Ohio State fan, his dad was an
All Pro out of Ohio State first round pick. Was
his dad like a broadcaster now or something's color analyst
for O Highest Safe? Yeah? So so yeah, anyway, his

(41:43):
dad was a really good player at Ohio State and
then in the pros three time all pro first round pick.
So anyway, I had him as a seventh round pick.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
So that's my last one pick.

Speaker 3 (41:53):
Yeah, okay. And then in the sixth round I had
the Ravens taking defensive lineman Cam Jackson to Florida sixty
six three twenty eight. He's another one of those like
physical traits type players get another defensive lineman didn't have
a lot of production, needs to develop. He's more of
a eat up blockers guy than getting after the quarterback

(42:13):
when I had one and a half sacks the last
two seasons. But as a big guy who can who
can just be disruptive and has physical tools, and so
again I think you're when you're talking at the end
of the sixth round, you're looking for guys that have
the makeup physically that you want, and Cam Jackson does.

Speaker 1 (42:29):
Okay, my final pick round seven, number two forty three
is linebacker Jackson Woodard out of UNLV And actually one
thing that I got to the end of my first
version of this and I didn't have an inside linebacker higher.

Speaker 2 (42:44):
I was like, ooh, do I need.

Speaker 1 (42:45):
To change that. I feel like they could take an
inside linebacker.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
It could be early.

Speaker 1 (42:53):
I mean, it could be at any it could be
at any point of this draft.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
Well, the biggest dark horse in the first round right
to hit that with probably one of them would probably
be if you're talking about inside linebackers, Hot Campbell.

Speaker 1 (43:04):
If you were to get there, which is doubtful, but
if you were to get there, sure I don't I
wouldn't rule it out and that would be a surprise.
But I just I wasn't gonna manker. I wasn't gonna
blow up the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (43:16):
I didn't, So I didn't take it inside linebacker because
the Raves have such a great track record to find
an un drafted one. So I just say, just go
to that well and get a non drafted one. And
I think they still they have their top two. But
wait until you hear about Jackson Woodard.

Speaker 1 (43:28):
Okay, all right, the guy grew up on his family's
small town cattle farm. Okay, done, signed the sealed delivered. Yeah,
and a pet pig named Calvin. I did all this
research for myself. Yes, side, you were calling the farm, Yeah,
I called pig that. This is just a testaments Dane
Brugler over at the Athletic who we had go back

(43:49):
and listen to that podcast. Shout out to Dane because
a lot of this info comes from him. I did
not find the pet pig's name myself. Uh So, First
Team Academic All American was a finalist for the Will
Campbell Trophy as an academic Heisman. Good in coverage five interceptions,
he had five picks, so only two touchdowns allowed. In coverage,

(44:09):
so really kind of stepping into that Chris Board kind
of role that he played it.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
He dropped a fair amount last year. Two time team captain.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
Everybody you know just says, this guy pours everything he
has into the game. Future coach, like I think Jackson
Woodard is the kind of linebacker, gritty linebacker with a
big kind of guy.

Speaker 2 (44:28):
You won.

Speaker 3 (44:30):
There you go. So those are those are our full
seven round mocks. And just quickly before we close up here,
I mentioned dark horse and Johan Campbell is the first
round option. Uh, the dark horse scenario for I want
to get yours if you have, like if what would
be the surprise dark dark horse option for me? It
would be a running back earlier than people think. That's

(44:52):
like I had Cam scataan fourth, you had the fifth
round running back. I think that like a second rounder.
I think a second think on my first round. Let's
just say in the first round that O'maryon Hampton is
there out of unc and most people think he's going
to be gone. But let's just say, and he's why
they considered the second best running back in the class
behind Ashton genty If he were there at twenty seven,

(45:14):
it would really it would surprise me.

Speaker 2 (45:16):
I don't think that would be the pick.

Speaker 3 (45:18):
But if he is there, that will be interesting because
a lot of the.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
Ravens would go earlier than the second round at running back.

Speaker 3 (45:24):
But if it's the second round, now let's move to
the second But I'm not going to rule that one out.
I wouldn't rule it out. And they did it with JK.
Dobbins a few years ago as the second round pick,
when they're coming off a season where they have more
rushing yards than any team in NFL history.

Speaker 2 (45:37):
Edwards on the roster.

Speaker 3 (45:39):
There's two Ohigo State running backs this year who if
they were there at that spot, I think you would
have a similar conversation ship the JK. Dobbins. Also Higo
State is Treveon Henderson and quin Shawn Judkins. Those guys
are neck and neck with each other. I like him,
I like him both both those guys. It would be
I think it would be a conversation and I don't Again,

(46:00):
I didn't pick that. I didn't project that. I think
the Ravens will go a different direction. But again, they've
mentioned running back enough to in press conferences. That just
makes me wonder about whether we are not thinking not
whether they could do it earlier than we realize.

Speaker 2 (46:15):
Okay, I'll go.

Speaker 1 (46:18):
My surprise would be if a wide receiver were to
slip down there at twenty seven and they just say
too good to pass up. Now, wide receivers don't usually slip,
you know. Ted McMillan is the one that could by
by if.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
You trust what the analysts are saying.

Speaker 1 (46:37):
I mean, widely projected to be a top ten pick
early in this predraft process and for whatever reason just
kind of you know, he didn't have a great combine
showing just kind of slipping down the board a little bit.
If he were there, you know, Matthew Golden out of Texas,
could they potentially that would be a surprise. Yeah, and
then this would certainly be less rising because we've talked

(47:01):
a lot about it is but not I wouldn't rule
it out.

Speaker 2 (47:05):
Is a first round guard, you know, like a Tyler
Booker or a.

Speaker 3 (47:09):
Great example out of North Dakota State who's.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
He's a little bit more tackle guard, I would say,
like a guard guard. Like you're saying, we're gonna really
invest at guard and try to have a big, physical,
bullying offensive line.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
That's what we're gonna do.

Speaker 1 (47:23):
We're gonna be about that life, right, I mean the
Chiefs and the Eagles, two great offensive lines. I would
be surprised because I still think that they the Ravens
prefer to do the kind of mid round you know,
draft and develop strategy. It's particularly a guard, but if
it's the best player available at twenty seven, and some

(47:45):
of these other great defensive Derek Harmon, Malachi Starks, and
Emon Warrior all gone, you know, and Booker's sitting there, sure.

Speaker 3 (47:54):
Maybe too good to pass up. So so there you go.
Those are our seven round picks, plus a little bonus
of dark horse potential for how the Ravens could attack
this draft. Again, it's Thursday night. We're gonna have an
episode Thursday night after that first round breaking down everything
that happened that night and other Ravens first round picked.
