 what's going on is engraving here with another video and in this video I mean you see the title of it we here to talk about the question on whether the Raven should draft the wide receiver early or they should just sign one via free agency or a trade or possibly even a mix of both now first and foremost good morning to everybody sorry that I got a stream like this I don't know what my phone was acting up I had to turn the sideways and it just try to try to turn the sideways it just wasn't a it wasn't it wasn't going for it so anyway appreciate all y'all appreciate all the the kind words last night depending on how traffic is or what not depending on I don't know how to scene of the school from last night or from yesterday I don't know how it is we're gonna be passing like maybe like three four minutes I told y'all it's literally like right up the street from where we live it but depending on how that is I don't know if I'm gonna have to take a different way to go to work or if I'm gonna be able to take the same way but either way appreciate y'all man appreciate y'all a lot love y'all thank you just for everything so before we get into this video let me introduce myself me I'm engraving vids and this is my YouTube channel engraving vids and I'm a Ravens fan and even though I'm a Ravens fan on this YouTube channel we talk Ravens but we also talk all 32 NFL teams so if you're Ravens fan you can subscribe with you like anybody else any other team that's fine you can still subscribe turn your notifications on once you do that and go ahead and leave a like on a video click the thumbs up button but anyway this all you can follow on Twitter Instagram and Snapchat all three are engraving vids and again I apologize for the for having the stream like this because I don't like it because I don't like when the black bars are on the side of the screen or whatever I hate that it's so cringy to me but anyway this is all that the phone will let me do this morning since it wasn't cooperating but anyway I'm Ravens and receivers something that was obviously a big problem last year something that's been a problem for a long time with Baltimore that we end up no matter no matter what the stream is about no matter I see a bunch of cars on the road already oh wow it is a lot of cars out here already but no matter what the stream is about we always end up coming to this conversation wow oh yeah okay we can't even go this way because it's blocked off we can't even go that way because it's blocked off so yeah it's blocked off they go to police telling everybody turn around it's blocked off okay that makes sense all right so all right I guess it's still a crime scene so would that make sense that makes sense I kind of expected this I left a little tiny bit earlier not that much earlier but I wasn't sure how that was gonna be but yeah it is um it is blocked off by the school which is a good thing I like that it's just gonna make it's just gonna make traffic that much more difficult on the street and then when I'm coming home it's gonna have to take a different way all good though all good but anyway so yeah should they sign a receiver and free agency or do or get one early in the draft now I think whether you get one early in the draft you get one later in the draft usually the guys who made the most plays in college they go higher but that doesn't necessarily mean that the only guys who can make plays go high in the draft but I keep hearing about this guy Calvin really I don't know anything about him cuz like I always tell you I don't watch college football so I have to rely on you guys to let me know who's real in college and who's not so but whether it be him whether it be another wireless what another wide receiver out of college you I think they have to whether it's earlier whether it's in the later not not even in the later rounds I feel like they need to draft somebody early just for their just for the mindset of the team reason being reason I say that is because when they draft the wide receiver early they invest into that wide receiver they put stock into that right wide receiver and they have faith in that wide receiver that that wide receiver is going to make some plays for them and they try to get that wide receiver involved now when Ravens have drafted receivers later on like in a sixth round seventh round they know they're drafting these guys late and they don't put any pressure on themselves to try to get those guys involved in the game plan they don't try to get those guys there's no pressure on them because they're late late draft picks so Ravens feel like okay we drafted this guy late if he doesn't perform okay whatever we're not even gonna try to thrust him into the starting lineup we're not gonna try to make a wide receiver out of him that's not what we're gonna do so I feel like if they drafted somebody early then with them having invested a first a second a third round pick into the wide receiver position then they wouldn't have they would have no choice but to invest in that wide receiver so I think that would be a good option a good route for them to go and then yeah I saw George mentioned both I think some other people mentioned both to that we should do both draft a wide receiver and sign some in free agency too and that would be good as well because say fences Mike Wallace if he doesn't come back then they there will be no appreciate him and a Reed and Lody nada to real suck too he made me appreciate the team having a veteran presence on the field because he could show and tell the young guys what to do what not to do the best tactics on and off the field up well he should really be telling people what to do off the field but um he he got to groom young guys now every guy to groom the young guys and they all got to keep them in line on the field and they had somebody who had been there done that before as far as seeing every every single type of play that you could ever see because those guys have been doing it for a while and if we got a veteran wide receiver not necessarily an old wide receiver not necessarily an old veteran but just a veteran wide receiver who's been in the league for a little while and then we got young guys to be at a draft that could work wonders because we could have the best of both worlds and that would only do that would only benefit us it would only benefit us because we could have wide receivers that team can actually grow with not one or two year deals because you know that's how most of the most of the receiver days are for us we'll sign a guy for like two year one year two years Steve Smith he signed a three year deal with us Mike Wallace who is a veteran wide receiver he signed a two year deal with us Jeremy Macklin he signed a is even two years three year deal but that's gonna be a year deal after he gets cut which we just all waiting for right now I know it's gonna happen any moment any moment but they signed these guys and how long was that for a little while I think it was here like what three years I forget I gotta look it up and then Derek he was here for a little while but we usually sign these older wide receivers or veteran wide receivers for a couple years but if we go a different route and sign a younger guy who is still talented who can still make some plays at the wide receiver position if we sign a free agent who's not an older guy who somebody who we can grow with who can maybe be on a team for a while that can help the rookies grow too until they come into their own and now they these rookies they they growing up pretty fast they becoming veterans and leaders on the team whether it be statistically or emotionally or mentally they're they growing a lot faster than they used to rookies need a lot less grooming than they used to and some rookies they even get thrown right into the fire they can get thrown right into the fire enough times and and they'll have to grow up right before I right before ice and it happens like that so I mean we'll see what happens cuz free agency in the draft it's all coming up super fast man I know to a lot of people has been going by slow for me it's been going by the good pace though it's still been a lot of action or not it's still been a lot of action in that fail it still has been a lot of action in that fail we still got a lot of questions that we can go before free agency and before the draft like I said free agency is in the middle of March so we got about a month left then the draft is in April where they doing the draft from isn't from New York or from Philly again I forgot what they said they doing the draft from this year I don't even remember the any y'all remember where the draft is gonna be from because I really I forgot oh in Dallas okay wow so that should be fun for them so it's gonna be at Super Big Stadium there but either way yeah Ravens they got to that's a position that's been a problem and that's a position that they absolutely have to invest in they have to they have to have to have to because that's that position that that's the position that cost us to play off last year that's the position that cost us games last year that's the position that has cost us just over and over and over throughout Ravens history more so recently but that is a position that the Ravens struggle with it's a position that they they they usually go super cheap with they they always go super cheap with as a matter of fact Ravens never spend big money on why receive us they never do they always super super super super super cheap with why receive us always they don't break the bank for them and that's a position where they never really have the best of the best they get by with what they got but you see what the past three years there's been no playoffs and no real receivers so getting by ain't cutting it no more man and then it ain't been cutting it in three years so they got to invest in that position then they have to because if they don't then it's gonna be four years in a row without the playoffs and I mean we only made the playoffs once in the last five years so saying the saying the last we ain't made just for those three years that's technically true but that's kind of sugarcoated to we made layoffs once out of the last five years once out of the last five years man after making it five years straight we want we made it once in the last five years I'm sorry is that and I don't care if they got close to the playoffs they make it and being close don't count you either in or you out and Ravens have been out 80 80% of the time over the past five years the Ravens have been out of the playoffs so that's definitely not a good thing but what's up cowboy expected where they spent on Steve Smith it was a three-year deal for maybe like 10 11 million dollars something like that or make wasn't 9 million it wasn't much it was not much so yeah it wasn't much anybody coming through I appreciate y'all good morning to everybody sorry I couldn't if I couldn't see your comments but of course you know my situation right now but yeah I appreciate all your coming through man showing love and appreciate everybody coming through on the channel thank you got a lot of love for y'all man and appreciate y'all big time man like always say this channel wouldn't be what it is even though it ain't much but this channel wouldn't be anything if it wasn't for all the y'all so I'm pulling up to work now had to take a detour I'm glad I know for tomorrow when I go to work so I won't even waste time going down that street to go but to go by the school cuz it's gonna be closed off most likely my mom did tell me she said that school is definitely closed for the rest of the week this week which makes sense but hopefully they shut that thing down for tomorrow too I mean not tomorrow but for next week too so let's get these kids a break man feels up to me it will be a very long break cuz it gives the parents a break give I mean the parents got a working stuff I know that but I'm sure they would rather have the problem of finding who's gonna babysit the kids or watching kids why they don't go to school rather than somebody shooting up the school so anyway appreciate y'all thank you I love y'all and I'm not that check y'all later
