 YouTube team keeping clean What's going on this engraving here with another video and in this video? We all just came from well a lot of us and I know not everybody watched it, which is cool That's what these videos are for But a lot of us just came from watching the Ravens pre-draft press conference Aka the liars luncheon and it was even mentioned during the during the press conference that is called a liars luncheon and Eric the Costa said he loves it. He said he loves it. He said he loves the game He said he he he he just lives for that He said when he was growing up he liked playing stuff like chess. He liked playing risk And he liked playing Monopoly so he and again that stuff shows his analytics side Again, he I remember in his introductory press conference where he said he always dreamed of being a GM Not always dreamed of being a football player not always dreamed of had being a head coach, but always dreamed of being a GM so That's that man There was there was some people in the live stream I saw a lot of it a lot of people were saying oh man this guy scares me Eric the constant scares me oh him as a new GM it worries me and I'm thinking like for what why this is fun This is so fun This is fun having a new GM and that's not a shot at Ozzie anything But it's just this is fun. This is a fun time because that means things are gonna be being done differently I don't know why people are scared. Well, I understand why people are scared But I look at it more as exciting. Yeah, I'm super excited about I'm loving it so far because There are so many unknowns. There's so many unknowns and Slowly over the years. We're gonna see those unknowns become okay. Yeah, that's if the cost to move Oh, this is with this type of stuff that he likes to do. Oh, yeah, this is something that the cost would do That's we're getting to know him. So I'm enjoying this new relationship. So let's get it man anyway, one thing that I am not enjoying is The pre-draft process and I was just I was talking to this I was talking to some of my guys and one of the Ravens group chats on Instagram about this And I'll say I'm just I'm just ready for it to be over. I'm so tired of all the mock drafts I'm so tired of all the oh this guy's projected to go here. Oh, he's projected to go there And I know I know that's part of the mock draft process. I'm just tired of it I'm tired of it. I'm just ready for the draft to be here. So the guys the players the rookies They can go wherever they're gonna go So it can be over So tired of I know a lot of y'all love it and I don't fall charge for that But to each his own and this is not for me So Maybe I just need to like a lot of y'all have suggested start watching some college football, huh? We'll see how it goes this upcoming season Don't hold your breath though, but we'll see we'll see we'll see I never say never but anyway in this in this pre-draft press conference And again, this is a like like a lot of people say the liar's luncheon the liar's luncheon This is not anything. I mean they didn't say anything of significance They said a lot of stuff that we already know as they say a lot of stuff that we already been saying on here for the longest They've been they acknowledge a lot of things A name was brought up though and this was very interesting to me one of the one of the reporters brought up a name a wide receiver who a lot of people have been talking about who he's been a talk of a lot of Just everybody and that was DK Metcalfe that was DK Metcalfe and at first when they were talking about him it seemed like they aired the cost of No, it was Joe Ortiz One of them to I forgot which one said which but one of them they asked about oh, what do you think about DK Metcalfe? What do you think about him and one of them was like, oh, he's like he's sort of like the Marius Thomas And I was thinking oh, okay. Well, I felt like that kind of that kind of talked him down and not that the Marius Thomas is a bad receiver but They talked about is the Marius Thomas got a big frame He he's made some plays over the years, but he definitely has some drop problems And they also talked about his lack of production and they called him very raw They called him raw so I'm like, huh and Then the other guy again, I forgot which one said which but then the other guy was like Oh, but when you get the ball in his hands and he's like to oh He's like to rail Owens and I was like, oh, okay so I feel like they kind of Talked them up talk them down talk them up talk them down and it was like ah, there was no straight answer but again, this is what we expect at a press conference like this because They're not gonna give away any secrets. They're not gonna give away any inklings They're not gonna give any way give away anything that lets people know what they trying to do except for one thing and Harbaugh came out and set it straight up last time not this press conference But the last the press conference where he started off eating I Don't think they're gonna be picking at 22 and this was something that a lot of people figured even before The season was over. Well, not before the season was over because we ain't have our draft we have our draft spot but Going into this off season A Lot of people felt like they won't they wouldn't be picking at 22 because they have a limited amount of picks and They continue to bring that up that they have a limited amount of picks Harbaugh said it the last press conference He said straight up. We don't have enough picks He said we don't have enough picks So you got to and then Eric the Costa during this press conference He he said it too, but he said it without saying it He said oh, yeah, well if we see a guy that we feel like we can that can be a playmaker for our team But that can be a good football player and up at pick 22 then we'll get him but we also Will like to have more picks and then he specifically talked about the third and fourth rounds and having multiple picks in those rounds Now I Like I said, I don't expect the Ravens to pick at number 22 I expect him to trade back because and and that will be very Ozzy Newsom ish of Eric the cost of the trade back, but oh just to get more picks to Just to get more picks Just to get more draft picks So we'll see because I know the Ravens. That's just not what they do. They never stand Pat at where they at They they never stayed at the spot where they're at in the draft Well, I'm not they don't stay at every single spot like through rounds one through seven. They never just sit there Oh, it's all pick. Okay. Put it in. Okay. It's all pick again. Okay. Put it in Ravens are always moving Oh and last year boy, they were moving But they are always moving. So I expected especially if they want more I Expected again They talked about again a lot of stuff that we've been talking about on here and a lot of stuff that y'all have been saying too But they talked about the receiver position They talked about that. It's not always the guys. That's the biggest and the fastest I think they really be watching questions from subscribers. But anyway, they talked about how it's not always the guys that are the biggest of the fastest They said it they just just they want the guys that can fight and that's gonna be a good football a good football players and guys that are competitive Guys that will compete So again, not really saying anything I mean, that's just being very very general not direct One thing a quick little side note that I took from this press conference from Eric Dacosta, which I really loved and I respected it He was asked What was the question? I? Think you I think Ryan mink actually asked no no Garrett Downing. I think Garrett Downing actually asked him About receivers how they can be a run-on receivers toward like the end of the first round Then all these teams start taking receivers toward the end of the first round and he was like has that he asked him um Either how he feels about that or does he feel like that's accurate or something along those lines I forgot exactly what he asked him, but Eric Dacosta said I don't know He said I don't know And I love that Now I'm not what I know a lot of y'all probably like listening like engraving what you the G RGM the leader of this team said I don't know to a question and you love that. Yeah, I do because that honesty Just tell us what I don't know That goes a long way a lot of y'all by still thinking like what? Just being honest like that saying I don't know Think about that. Would you if you ask somebody a question that you want them to answer for you? I mean, I think you want somebody to answer any question that you ask them But if you if you ask somebody a question Would you rather them beat around a bush and go and go in circles around the answer? Or would you rather them lie to you? Would you rather them just be straight up and tell you I don't know I? Loved it, but again, like I said side though, but anyway Yeah, they were just they were just talking though Yeah, they were they were talking and they just again all the stuff they talked about the the interior of the offensive line How with the with the interior of the offensive line and said it's a lot of guys that they could draft that at that position Or those positions, excuse me. They talked about centers. They didn't say any names though They didn't say any names. He made sure I didn't say any names Again, you don't want to give off any clues What he I mean, it was just It was just a game And but I think what I think the biggest thing that they continue to do Is position themselves to trade back? I think that's that's been the biggest thing that the Ravens have been doing This offseason ever since they've been talking about the draft has been positioning themselves to trade back I think they just continue to get it out there to these other teams that hey We got picked 22 and we talked about this before on here, but it's like hey we got picked 22 Let's make something happen. Let's make a deal whether they trade back and Go and trade late into the first round and the second round or they just trade back into the second round and have either multiple second round picks for that first round pick or just because they're gonna get they're not gonna trade a First round pick just for another pick. They're going to they're going to trade that first round pick For multiple picks I Feel like I said that wrong, but there's no retakes in this. So let me let me say that over The depth their first round draft pick if they trade back, it's not gonna be for a single pick It's gonna be for multiple picks. So whether it's for multiple picks and those picks include draft picks in the first and second round Or whether those it includes draft picks in the the second round and third and fourth and fifth Because I mean you got to look at the teams that pick afterwards if they if they have somebody that they really like And that person is available at pick number 22 But then it's a possibility that somebody at 23 or 24 may grab them in the team that picks later on after 23 or 24 If they really want that player, they're gonna have to make a move because they don't want those teams to grab that player So what they're gonna have to do is be like, hey Ravens. Look, we pick at number 25 We pick number 25 over on the first round. Look, let's trade up. You can have our 25th pick but then you can also have a Second round pick or probably the first and a third or first first and a third and fourth I think it'll be like a first and a third and fourth You can have that if we can get that pick number 22 But Ravens will definitely be hearing from some teams about offers because they keep putting it out there They put it out there the past couple of press conferences. So I fully expect them to trade back I do not see them picking at 22. I don't If they did I wouldn't be mad Even if they moved up, I wouldn't be mad because I I want to see that then be aggressive If you see a guy and I talked about this before too, I feel like hey if you see a guy That hey, they can come in they can play right away They can make some making impact on this team again they talked about this in the in the Draft the press conference just now too about how last year's draft was so big and it was Last year's draft was an air because I said he says that every year that this draft is the most important draft He says he says that every year the last last year was like heavy hidden man It was a heavy it was a powerful draft a Powerful rookie class not even just from the draft, but it was it was a powerful draft Because those guys right away right away Lamar Jackson Hayden Hurst Kind of But he got hurt a little bit and slowed down for him, but um, he'll be fine this season But Lamar Jackson Mark Andrews Orlando Brown Kenny young Like these guys came on and then you got some other guys who ended up being roleplayers, too Had a Anthony avert you had a bozeman who came and filled in on the offensive line Gus Edwards, I know he was undrafted, but he undrafted guy played a huge role huge role So Last year's draft was just that was big man It was big So this year, I don't expect I don't expect the rookies to have that big of an impact on the team Because that's a that's a hard act to follow That's a hard act to follow. I wouldn't mind though I wouldn't mind just like when we talk about the Ravens their defense There've been some questions from subscribers and some videos you'll see probably later on today About there was a question from subscriber about can the Ravens have the number one defense can they have the number one defense again this year and I wouldn't mind if they did do I think they can I will see but if even if they don't You can't be mad cuz that's such a tough act to follow They just had the number one defense So to do that back-to-back two years straight. That's who that would be real deal So I mean, we'll see how it all goes. We'll see how it all turns out and They'll go from there so again the biggest my biggest takeaway from this press conference is That I see the Ravens trading back and again It just it hasn't even just been from this press conference But just they're wording with this off-season and just them wanting more draft fix too Because of how last year went last year show like hey The Mortimeria and it was quality guys too So we'll see what happens. I'm excited and again I can't wait for the draft to be here so it can be here and it can be done No more mocks Tired of seeing all these mocks but Again, like I said before too, we're gonna be streaming for the draft We're gonna be streaming for the first round of the draft. Let me let me clear that up. So hold draft No, no way but for the first round we will be live So I expect y'all to come through I look forward to y'all coming through We're gonna have some fun in there, man We're gonna have some fun as we always do every year because like I said We've been doing this we've been streaming for the first round of the draft for like the past Four years three four years, I think Something like that like the past like three four years. We've been streaming for the first round of the draft every year So that ain't going nowhere So I look forward to that we are what is today April 2nd? So the draft starts on the 25th, so we 23 days away So I'm looking forward to it because it can finally be like oh finally is here No more mocks, but anyway the flag football Update on that because I know we haven't talked about that in a while a Lot of these parks is just It's it's been a little ridiculous So it's looking like Glen Bernie is going to be the move. It's a good area in Glen Bernie So that's looking like that. It's gonna be that's gonna be where it's gonna be at It's definitely gonna be June 1st But again, like I said once I finalize it and I do want to finalize it like ASAP So y'all can make whatever a pre-arrangements or whatnot For as far as transportation and whatnot on how you're gonna get there or whatever Just so it's like there and so it's clear so it's not any um, oh man like oh, where's it gonna be at? He said it's June 1st, but we don't know it's gonna be it Most likely it's looking like it's gonna be in the Glen Bernie location That was the original location that I was gonna have it at but then I start looking at these other places These and these other places were a little wild As far as pricing as far as what you got to do to reserve it and it was just oh man And then I look at some other places, but some other places was like really far and kind of out of way out of the way and So it's looking like it's gonna be there. But again, like I said, I will let you all know once I confirm it so But that's most likely where it's gonna be it So if anything changes, of course, we'll let you know But anyway team keep it clean. I love y'all appreciate y'all and we out
