 My dog D hop say it ain't so man, even though now Hollywood's over there. So he anyway you two team keeping clean What's going on is engraving here with another video and D hop done already appealed and lost the appeal So them six games is final. But anyway There's been a lot of commotion Amongst Raven's flock today. It's been a lot of conversation and what not even know how it goes like that every day It's always something to talk about But this is about another one of those stories that A lot of Raven's fans. They just it's like taking a knife and just twisting it when they hear about stuff like this cuz it's like Why why do you have to tell us? We didn't want to know Because it's one of those stories where the Ravens they came close. They were interested in somebody, but They just end up coming up short And the reason that this story is so interesting because it not only involves the Ravens coming up short But it involves the Steelers Stepping in front of the Ravens and taking what they apparently Wanted and that was mr. Calvin Austin the third Let's read the article from Peter King who was in the Ravens war room So he was in their draft room during the fourth round a round where they had was six Picks around where I did not think that there was no chance. No way that they're getting ready to use all six It's just not gonna happen. What do they do? They made it happen in a draft where I was like There's no way know how the Ravens are going to use 10 picks in this draft. It's not happening not a chance What did the Ravens do? They used 11 So they they won up me. So shout out to the Ravens for proving me all kinds of wrong But anyway to the article and pick 137 the Patriots took Bailey Zapp a quarterback from Western Kentucky So we a pick 138 right now a middle-round receiver Calvin Austin the third of Memphis a Smurphy guy who runs a 43 240 I ain't like that part. You ain't got a car. Nobody's Smurphy. You ain't got to do that But anyway a Smurphy guy who runs a 432 in the 40 was Baltimore's target here So they wanted Calvin also it was high its receiver time, baby All these fans been waiting for us to pick a receiver We getting ready to pick a receiver right here right now like it or not. That's who we're going with But guess who else runs a 432 Hollywood Brown though Austin's a small guy He was durable at Memphis playing 49 games in four years and averaging 16.3 yards per catch So the deep threat, right? The deep threat and the speedy deep threat smaller stature. It's like a Hollywood Brown It'd be an essential replacement so to speak now if he would have been the essential replacement so to speak I just wonder He would have been a fourth-round receiver. So, you know, that's dangerous territory right there It's very dangerous territory for him already if he would have got picked by the Ravens But I just wonder how he would be used Wonder if he would be used, you know, Rashad Bateman, he gonna get his but then after a shot Bateman That's the biggest question mark right now for me personally Like what are the Ravens gonna do as of right here the receiving call right here right now What are the Ravens gonna do after a Rashad Bateman? Who's gonna be the number two? Who's gonna be the number three to slot? What are they gonna do? I know a lot of people assume. Oh, yeah, definitely just do Devin Duvin They just gonna be the number two James crochet gonna be in a slot. I Don't know man. I don't know but hey, we will see but again back to the article. So Both this is where it got a little funky for me Baltimore is not a deep-throwing team thus Brown's frustration leading to his trade requests and The trade to Arizona, but the Ravens could use speed that Disagree with all of that except the last part the Ravens could use speed that because they certainly could but Baltimore is not a deep-throwing team Lamont will be looking for nothing but deep throws like nothing but That dude is always looking for the big play and they thought I'm down there too. He's trying it Like the Ravens they they certainly up their passing game a lot last year Even if it was by force they still did it they they made improvements They they made strides in the passing game and we hope that that continues this year too But we hope that the quality of it is better and the the quality of the Ravens health is better as well So we'll see how that goes But Baltimore is not a deep-throwing team wrong thus Brown's frustration leading to his trade requests in the trade Arizona So it say said Austin wasn't a must-have, but he was the next target He was Baltimore's guy. So the Ravens were all in on Calvin Austin the one-two-third They wanted him that was their pick. That was who they were gonna get with their next selection He said then over the tiny speaker News that the Pittsburgh Steelers were picking wide receiver Calvin Austin from Memphis. So they heard that Somebody said you gotta be kidding me Ravens on the clock 440 then 435 four minutes and 35 seconds the Casa had to think now He had an open trade office with Kansas City and the Jacksonville Jaguars And he could pull the trigger on either and he didn't love his options here But his expression didn't change her balls expression didn't change nor did Ozzy Newsom. See hey, there you go Just another reminder that Ozzy Newsom's he's still there too. He's still involved in all this draft stuff But anyway These things happen in the draft. Oh, yes, they do. They don't they not only happen in draft. They happen in a free agency Ravens are interested in the guy, but they know It just ends up coming up just short And hey, I'm sure there are plenty more of these stories throughout this draft alone Where Ravens might have wanted a guy, but then somebody else took them and it's like, oh, we were just right there but see this story is a bit different because They had an opportunity to get Calvin Austin earlier But they went to the punter That's what's been a lot of people's argument and the frustration today that they went with the punter first over the wide receiver and maybe If I'm having to try to think like the Ravens would think Maybe they felt like the punter was more of a sure thing than the wide receiver would have been I Don't know maybe that's just had a Ravens were thinking with this whole thing but anyway They pondered alternatives. They had two linebackers in one slower receiver with good grades left But they didn't love any of them. There was a tight end rated very close to collar Isaiah likely of coastal Carolina one of the best offensive tight ends in the college game last year the Ravens thought He might be able to do some receiver things lining up in a slot and outside as well as playing in line tight end So they said hardball said to Greg Roman How about likely find a spot for him and Greg Roman liked them. So boom They drafted them. They drafted Isaiah likely and I do like that pick Because he's in a position that the Ravens really value a lot tight end But he's somebody that is in a position where the Ravens need improvement wide receiver Now we know Ravens have I think like five tight ends on the roster right now. They got Nick Boyle Mark Andrews Josh Oliver Collar and likely if I'm missing anybody else, let me know I might be who knows But anyway, they got those five guys right now shout out to the burgers greasy burgers with great burgers I don't want another peanut store fries are really good. So shout out the five guys anyway They're not keeping five tight ends They're not I can see them keeping four Even though four be pushing it but I can see them keeping four now if they only keep three Some decisions have got to be made But if I I think if they only keep three then Boil and Oliver go Boil and Oliver go if they kept three tight ends They're not gonna cut Call it collar. They're not gonna cut likely They're not likely to cut like I know a lot of people been throwing around them corny likely jokes But I've been loving all of them. Um, so yeah, that is it's just a bit of a head scratcher there Uh, what they're gonna do how they're gonna operate Ravens like Ravens right now Um, they they have me just very in the dark. I don't know what to expect from now I know they signed a lot of undrafted free agent guys We got to go over there though their film over the next couple of days and go just piece by piece So y'all stay on the lookout for that But Ravens just have me just I do not know what they are going to do When it comes to wide receiver Some people thinking like hey, they could just use the guys that they got and run with that They could some people think like a Ravens got a big trade coming because there's no way they went through the draft like they did and Didn't it didn't address wide receiver at all, you know, I say it likely he gonna be a little receiver sledge tight end But they ain't they ain't addressed wide receivers. I was like, okay, maybe they do and some people like oh There's free agency too and I look at free agency and I'm like, oh, I Don't know man, I don't know So I'm just I'm curious and of course we all got to wait it out all together But yeah, I'm just I'm wondering like what's gonna be next. That's my biggest question. What's going to be next What's gonna be next? How are you gonna handle this? Are you gonna stay in Pat? You're gonna make a trade or you're gonna sign some free agents Or undrafted free agents to I know a lot of people been talking about the guy bolden Some people been talking about the guy I think is it Devin Williams? I forget his name But again, I got to go over all the undrafted free agents that they got but Yeah, man, we'll see we'll see but This was a very interesting story is a very interesting read and I like I said I saw a lot of conversation from a lot of people About it about everything surrounding it and I just wanted to give my little two cents on it So it is what it is the draft overall again the draft It was a good draft. It was a good draft the Ravens hit on a lot of Different knees they got some depth And they got a lot of steals like I said before that one of the words We kept hearing over and over and over and over and over and over steel steel steel Why does guys are still can't believe this guy dropped? I can't believe this guy sale available I can't believe the Ravens picked him. Oh, he was ready to super high on my board But the Ravens got him this low. Wow, that's crazy. And that's a great that that is a beautiful thing Ravens one of the biggest thing that they did this draft Was help really build the wall really build up that offensive line and build up the depth in the offensive line, too We're gonna talk about that in more detail probably later on this week, but the draft was good We're just missing missing that One spot and wondering what that next spot is gonna be who's gonna be The guy in that next spot, you know, Bateman Bateman gonna be there But who else is it gonna be? Is it gonna be Duvenay all that the young guys gonna get the opportunity To shine are they really gonna get it? Well, all the Ravens gonna find a veteran somewhere Like I said before I just I don't envision them going into next season Without a veteran without a veteran at wide receiver because these guys they all lack experience especially in the playoffs They all lack experience Shaw Bateman Tylen Wallace and again this and it's not that they couldn't But they have never stepped foot in a playoff game before they haven't Haven't stepped foot in a playoff game before playoff atmosphere. No, I Mean they haven't even played a full season yet He's the one of them. Of course, I know freak injuries happen with Shaw Bateman early on. He had his groin injury I think oh, was it his her no, what is the hernia groin? I forget. Oh, it's growing. Yes That's an area and then Tylen Wallace. He had his crazy injury on the fake punt So yeah, but and then we got Devon a I mean Duvenay and pro check you call him Devon a but Duvenay and pro shape And they they were drafted in 2020. We did make the playoffs then but Yeah, man, y'all y'all remember that a quarterback could he couldn't even finish the playoff game He finished the playoff game Because you know Patrick McCarty was trying to play a little quarterback in that game too, but anyway, man I'm I'm very uh, I'm just excited man. I'm very excited to see how Ravens addressed this Um, cuz I'm just wondering I'm wondering I just do not know have no clue. No inclination is no nothing But that's what makes it so fun.
