 Could Ravens pull the ultimate okey-doke on fans in the first round of the draft and select the safety? With the additions of both Keith Williams and T. Martin, could the Ravens switch from a run-first team to an actual pass-first offense? How far up in the draft can the Ravens possibly move by trading Orlando Brown Jr.? For the talk about...oh man. These and many many more questions on this episode of NFL Questions from subscribers. And this feels like a dream. I know just what I mean. YouTube Team Keep It Clean, what's going on? It's in Graven here with another video and another episode of NFL Questions from subscribers. Which is a series where you can ask me any NFL question you want to based off of any NFL team. And we answer in the video just like this. Now, if you want the opportunity to be part of NFL Questions from subscribers, you can send me an email to teamkeepitclean at gmail.com. Or for the patrons, you can send it directly on Patreon and we'll answer your question in the video just like this. Team Keep It Clean, I love y'all. I really appreciate y'all. I hope everything is going really really really good with y'all. Shout out to all the Team Keep It Clean patrons. Thank you for supporting the channel just that much more. But we appreciate it. Thank you everybody for your input on the questions. Giving your answers and being respectful to each other. I really appreciate that. So let's make today a great day. Don't let anybody kill your vibe and let's just keep on doing our thing, man. Love y'all. Let's get into it. First question in this episode of NFL Questions from subscribers. It actually came from my boy Nick Brick. But he intended it to be for the Get It Off Your Chest series that we started. And I appreciate y'all because y'all really like, y'all came through for that a lot in a like a crazy crazy way. But a respectful way, but a crazy way. But I appreciate y'all. But he said, I appreciate you for the content you put out. I appreciate you. He said, the Ravens are a unique team that doesn't operate like others in the national media misses that constantly. That being said, I've been thinking about this and after watching the film and hearing the Liars lunch today. I think we are taking the safety from TCU. We love Chuck Clark, but we know one, if it's thrown to him, if it's thrown to his man, it will be a reception. And number two, the Sean Elliott should be the strong safety. Trevor Morrig is a safety that can tackle, but he can also cover the entire field and actually take the football away. This will make me mad. But I think we need to mentally prepare for the Ravens to do what they do best and zig when we want them to zag. Worst part is that this guy is really, really, really good. So Nick Briggs said he could see the Ravens taking a safety with their first pick. Now, yeah, I think a lot of us could see that. Shout out to my guy, Joe Nubow, formerly Joe Nubow, Jose V now. But he did a video talking about that exact thing, taking a safety with that early pick. And it is something that I know there will be a lot of Ravens fans that will be upset. There will be a lot of Ravens fans that will be frustrated because a lot of people want wide receiver first. A lot of people want old line first. A lot of people even want edge first. And it happens to everybody. It ain't happening to me this year because I'm like whatever. But people, they fall in love with the pick who they want their team to get. In this case, being the Ravens. So no matter what the Ravens take, somebody's going to be upset. Somebody's going to be upset. But again, something else you got to remember is that it's a seven round draft. It's not just the first round in that set. It's seven rounds. So even if the Ravens don't take, even though guys obviously are getting taken off the board, so they won't be available anymore. But even if the Ravens don't take whatever position you were looking for them to take in the first round, doesn't mean they can't hit on it later on. So we'll just see what happens, man. Draft is right around the corner. And all of these questions that we have about the draft will be answered very, very, very soon. But as far as them taking the safety, it is something, it is a position of need. Because right now it's just the Sean Elliott one year left on this deal. Anthony Levine, he just signed a one year deal. Chuck Clark, I think he got like two years left on this deal. And that's it. So you don't have, oh, they got Jordan Richards. They brought him back too. But so you, you don't really have depth for the future. You don't have your safety for the future. Well, you don't know. It could be the Sean Elliott. That'd be nice if it is, if that works itself out. But you just, there's a lot of unknown right now. So before you jump into the fire with this unknown, you can go ahead and take care of that by getting a safety early. Next question came from my boy John S. I asked about Orlando Brown for DK Metcalf because Russell's going to need help, especially with JJ Y going to the Cardinals. You said in the fantasy world that that would be great, but you doubt they will be willing to give up their best wide receiver. Recently it came out that the Giants are willing to trade back in the draft for their 11th pick. So how about OBJ in a third for that 11th pick? That I would not be mad at at all. At all. Wouldn't be mad at it at all. Again, y'all know, I would rather us keep Orlando Brown Jr. But if they are going to trade him, that trade, no problem. Getting the 11th, like moving all the way up there. Even though you're giving them a third. Okay, cool. Yeah, whatever. No big deal. You got a third comp pick this year when David Cully got signed. So that will just kind of cancel that out. So yeah, I would love that one. Next question came from my guy Alex B. He said, what's up in Graven? Hope you're in the fam of doing well. We're doing really good. I appreciate it. I said, my question is, will the Ravens decide to draft a receiver in the first two rounds of the upcoming draft after hearing EDC's interview on Monday? When he said he was insulted by the critics and analysts saying that the Ravens don't have good receivers. I think so. I think it definitely means that EDC is going to be doing something about the wide receiver position. For sure. Because in my two people, shout out to a spiritually smart who we did the video on that. Explaining everything that that EDC presser really meant. And shout out to Nana as well. She said that she spoke with somebody. They let a note like, hey, these these presses, they are called the liars luncheon for a reason. And anything that is said publicly by the Ravens is done so for a reason. And I said it in a video too. They're not just going to sit up there with cameras on knowing that this video was public. They're not just going to sit up there and be like, hey, this is what we're going to do. That's what we're going to do. This is what we're going to do. They're not going to tell their plans like that. So yeah, I can see them taking a receiver early or still making a move for somebody. Next question came from my boy Brandon P. He said, I ain't gravy and hope all as well with you in the fam. Yes, everything really good, Brandon. He said, but I've been wondering something ever since we brought in the new passing coordinators and coaches. Do you think there's a possibility that with the new additions are passing game will flip with our Russian attack and take over as our new offense and be more productive than our run game? No, I don't see that at all. I don't see that happening at all. I see them improving, but for the passing offense to be like number one for the Ravens. No, that just nope. Only way that I would see that happening to where the passing game becomes like the priority for the Ravens is if they got like an entirely new front office. And we know that's not happening. And I'm not saying that I want them to do that. I'm saying that's the only way that I would be able to see it that happening. Like if they had a new GM, a new coach, new even new quarterback, new just new everything. If they started this thing from the ground up, because that's not what Ravens do. That's not their philosophy. They've never been past first. Well, when Mark Tressman was here, they were trying to be past first and it was done ugly, but they've never really been a past first team. So no, I don't see that happening. Next question came from Erna S. Erna said, what do you think about the Ravens trading Orlando Brown, Jr. for a next year's first round pick and a second round pick this year? This way the Ravens have an extra two round pick to draft the center and wide receiver they need. And they add an extra first round pick to trade for a wide receiver or a pass rush in the season in this season or next. I feel this is the way that the Ravens will have every possible way to have a deep playoff or a Super Bowl run. I know you're probably thinking, no, if the Ravens need to trade Orlando Brown and get picks this year and draft his replacement, but you have to have an insurance plan if that draft replacement doesn't pan out. So how about take the second going to the draft with three picks in the first two rounds and going to the season with another high value asset to improve your roster because of injury or a player becomes available? I know this is a lengthy one, but I'm praying you read it. I wouldn't go for that one, man. I would not go for that. To trade Orlando Brown, Jr. and only get a first next year? No, that first needs to be this year right here right now. Yeah, you're getting a second now would be cool too, but no, first now, first now. Even if like, I know your thing will be, you said second this year and then first next year, but scrap the second, scrap the second from this year and make it a first for this year. And don't even worry about that. They can get that first. So no, I wouldn't be with that one. But then he said adding on to that trade. I think the Ravens should take the best available edge in the late in the first round, Jalen Phillips and then take that Diamond Brown and Creed Humphrey in the second. No, that would be with that bonus second round pick you talking about and going to the third round. Replacing Orlando Brown, Jr. If you don't sign a replacement. And yes, two first rounds picks this year is great, but it's probably not going to happen. And keeping almost said, almost said Odell Beckham, Jr. Keeping Orlando Brown, Jr. is two, but he's going to leave after this year. So take a first next year and an extra second this year and draft three potential starters from the first two rounds of this year's draft. See now, when you explain it like that, that does make it sound a little bit better. I still wouldn't do it, but it does make it sound a lot better, man. So I appreciate you breaking that down like that. He said plus the rest of your picks usually put the best players that are a goal on day one and day two. Then you're going to the offseason with your option open for multiple trades to upgrade your team because if your draft picks don't pan out this year or player goes down, you need to have options to replace or upgrade positions because they're going to have multiple comp picks coming. So adding a first with that leaves zero excuses for the Ravens not to have options to upgrade. Now the team this upcoming season and hope you see this have a blessed day. Oh, I appreciate that. You definitely been doing some draft homework. But yeah, I begin to trade Orlando Brown, Jr. And the highest pick that you get is a first next year. That'd be nice because you have a first for the future, but no, you need to get one now. Next question came from Teddy. He said, Angraven, why won't this front office give Lamar Jackson what he needs? Do they seriously think that Sammy miss a game for spraying toenail Watkins is the help that he needs? Everyone in their mother knows that Orlando Brown, Jr. wants to leave and management said that they were willing to deal. Ravens fans should be pushing the front office to move up to the top 10 and getting one of those big four guys. This would force Roman to change the offense to get the receivers involved more. You can't trade Orlando Brown and pick number 27 and another first round pick for a wide receiver and not use him. Blessings. Love it. Now I get what you're saying because I've said the same thing myself because there's a lot of people that like, Oh, if Ravens get a better receiver, it's not going to change much. No, yes, it would because they will be forced to because if Eric DeCosta was like, Hey, I went out there and I got this receiver. Y'all need to use him more. You have to use him more. You would have to and not that the offense will completely change anything like that, but certainly they would find ways that we forced to find ways to get that guy involved. So getting a receiver could make a big, big difference, especially if it's that big, big time, big, big name wide receiver. Next question came from Delaney G. So they engrave and hope everything is well with Carter and your wife, but how everything is good with us. I appreciate it. How do you feel about Nico Collins and us drafting him to be that Miles Boykin replacement if Miles doesn't pan out because in 2022, it'll be his contract year. This would of course be in round two or round three. I want us to trade up and give them all weapons because we know, or we don't know how truly good of a pastor Lamar is. You see what Buffalo did with Josh Allen and Josh Allen was a dynamic runner in 2019, but he was inaccurate. Then they traded for Stefan Diggs. They got Gabriel Davis. And all I'm trying to say is if we get Lamar Owada or Smith, or if we trade up to the top 15, I believe Lamar will be extraordinary because he is already great. Depending on if T Martin and Keith Williams give Greg Roman some tips on route concepts because his concepts are horrible. LOL. Sorry for the long question. No, it's all good. Me, I would much rather get that proven guy at wide receiver, but even with Boykin, with Boykin, the coaching, it can possibly make a big, big difference. There's that possibility that's there because for the talk about, oh man, but for the talk about replacing Miles Boykin, nah, I can't get behind that right now because Miles Boykin, he still provides value to this team. And I think with Miles Boykin, to me it seems like there's a, it's a confidence thing right there. Now, if you get the right people in your ear, you get the right people around you, your confidence can go from zero to a hundred or maybe not even a hundred, but it can certainly take some significant, it can raise significantly. So with Miles Boykin, I think it's just, it's a mix of opportunity and maybe with these new coaches, they can really help him take his game to another level. Him and Lamar, they got to get on the same page. They got to get on it and just, I feel like with Miles Boykin, there's just, I hate always hearing the word potential with people. I hate hearing that with the Ravens a lot of times, especially at the wide receiver part, because we hear that word so much. We hear, oh, this guy's got potential. He got some potential potential and potential is nice, but we really want to see that potential be reached. We want to see it be reached. So with Boykin, I hope this is the year where we ain't just talking about potential. And so no, I don't think the Ravens should replace him. I still think they should bring in another significant guy, and that could possibly take some snaps away from Boykin. But I just, I really want to see him do well, man, because he got everything that Ravens fans are looking for, man, in a wide receiver. He got it already. He's here. He's here. But we just wait on him to show it, man. Next question came from Dominic S. He said, I ain't graven. Hope everything's going well. Keep up the good work. Appreciate it, man. He said, my question is what the Ravens looking to bring in another tackle, Alejandro Villanueva. Could you see an Orlando Brown trade in the making? Certainly. And we talked about that a lot in the Orlando Brown. I mean, in the Alejandro Villanueva video. What he said, my second question is, would you be shocked if the Ravens bring in another tackle on a visit someone like Mitchell Schwartz? No, not at all. I don't think there would be any reason to be shocked because the Ravens, whether Orlando Brown stays or goes, and it's seeming more and more every day like he's going to leave, but whether he stays or goes, the Ravens still need some quality depth at tackle, especially with Ronnie Stanley coming back from injury. So one, you hope that he comes back 100% from injury. Then two, you hope that his body responds good because this will be his first year. And they say sometimes it can take like a year for somebody to get all the way back to where they were previously after an ACL injury. So hopefully Ronnie Stanley can be back and be good to go this year and be like fully back. But that's just something that you got to think about too. So depth is always a good thing. Next question came from my boy Israel. He said, what's up in Graven? What's up, man? He said, how would you feel if the Ravens selected Kayla Farley at 27? Farley has been seen by some as a QB1, as a cornerback one, and a top five to 10 talent when healthy. Ooh, if we got to talk about that for a rookie, if we got to have that conversation for a rookie, the whole win healthy thing, no, no, no. Because if they're already having that conversation from college, then NFL just gets that much harder, that much more physical, that much tougher. So nah, that's a no for me. He said he excels and cover one man scheme at the 6-2 corner who ran a 4-2. Oh my gosh, he ran a 4-2. Which he said was kind of disappointing. Well, high standards there, huh? He said he had surgery on his back early in the year, but it was something he played through without knowing last year. Farley could be the answer the Ravens need for speedy receivers like Terry Keele. Even though the Ravens have holes in the roster, could you see them going best player available and picking Farley due to scheme fit? No, not if he has a bad injury history, no. If his injury history is that bad, I would expect him to drop, man. Like the speed, but that speed raises him up because you know people love speed like me. But that speed would just boost his stock. A lot injury history would drop him, but speed would raise him, so maybe it would like meet somewhere in the middle. But yeah, for Ravens, I would say no. Next question came from my boy Jonathan D. Now this was intended to be for the get it off your chest segment, and what we'll need to do is really get that thing more ordinary and regular and whatnot. So when we do that, we'll figure out how you all can send stuff in for that. But anyway, he said, I'm tired of the Ravens not signing anyone because they worried about those picks. Sign AB, and we missed that on Clowney. Our D-line is so dang old. Well, they are a little up there in the tooth, but now they are a little older. And Clowney would have been cool for one year up to 10 mil. That ain't too bad. I honestly didn't even think that Clowney was gonna get double digits though. But yeah, y'all know I'll be down for them signing AB. I don't think they'll do it at all, but I'll be down for it. He's still out there. Bucks don't seem like they doing anything with him. So he's still a free agent, so only time will tell. Next question came from my boy Mike M. He said, hey, my name is Mike from Chicago, Illinois. Oh, that's where my wife and her family are from. As you said, Ravens fans since 96. I would love to know how you feel about the Dez Bryant situation. Do you think we should try to reach out and sign him to another year and let him do what he does and practice and dominate, or do you think we should just move on? Well, the Ravens have already just moved on. They're done with Dez Bryant. Dez Bryant is not coming back. They're not re-signing him. They're not bringing him back. Dez Bryant and the Ravens' relationship is all the way over. All the way over. There's no him coming back. There's no him returning. They could have implemented some of the things that we did see from the practice film and whatnot. I wish we would have seen that more in games. That would have been nice, but we didn't. And Dez, he is moving on to whatever's next for him and so are the Ravens. Next question came from Maintain. He said, what's up, fam? Thanks for being the best coverage or the best NFL team. What if they were the best NFL team? Then we'd be winning the Super Bowl. Anyway, keep up the great work and blesses to you and the Holy and Graven family and subscribers. I appreciate that, man. I've been a fan of Lamar Jackson since early college days after a touchdown's first half game had popped up. My opinion is he's well on his way to being a Hall of Fame quarterback if healthy enough career-wise, of course. Lamar has done nothing but overachieve. I can't believe sometimes the negative things I hear about him. Off the field as one of the youngest QBs, he's still a stand-up guy in so many ways. All he does on the field is win as well as any QBs in league history and he's still only 24. He's achieved, saved our season and pushed us through to the postseason. Suddenly, a bad loss put some kind of bad name on him in the media. Year two, he's the MVP. Definitely overachievement. Yes, a bad playoff loss in which he should as a QB. I put blame on Lamar, but he didn't get ran over by Henry, too. We lost as a team. It happens. That team grinded before team two record made it seem like we blew everybody out that year and we did not. The rest were like, no, no, no, we got to make this a close one. The 49ers, ooh, that 49ers game. Ooh, that 49ers game. That 49ers game, boy. Ooh, anyway. This past year, I fully believe we did get hurt more than most teams. All NFL rookies we can say was hurt by no offseason. But that happened every team, though. None of the teams had the rookie offseason, so that was everybody. And he said, but not only rookies, there's four wide receivers. We asked to contribute with one player, Boykins, actually having one full offseason out of the four wide receivers. Hollywood, Dube, Boykins, and Pro Shae. Well, that's a really good point because Hollywood last offseason, his rookie offseason, he didn't really have it because he was hurt. Wow, that is, um, and he was our best receiver. He's our best receiver. He didn't even have an offseason. Wow. Ooh, okay, maintain. I like this one. He said it right after he said with Hollywood, he was never fully healthy his rookie year. And we are younger than most good teams as a whole also. As a whole, we're overachieving. Scorer and his injury come and come back as a big missing point as well from no offseason. Was he ready or did he just look like he was due to circumstances? Preseason would have gone better or would have given us a better look at him because he would slow out the gate even before the finger cut and bad snaps. Add Yonda's retirement along with Stanley's injury, then Boyle's injury. We also took the worst hit from C-19 in so many ways. Still made the playoffs and beat ourselves a bit. But then we beat the Titans. Last offseason moves all predicted on the Titans all predicated on the Titans lost the year before. So we jumped a big hurdle and still got younger. This year's playoff game is not a big deal to me. Lamar won and only red zone interception ever and also won an only touchdown return ever. And that's a 14 point turnaround alone. More like a basketball reference. Exact loss right there. Let alone the bad center snaps again which led to Lamar's injury. And we still gave a backup QB multiple chances by only giving up 10 points to Josh Allen in the offense in Buffalo. My simple prediction, the Raven Super Bowl win this year. Draft time is our time and so are signings after. With our main growth is going to come from this end. And that's why they don't really need to add much more. We already scoring 30 points a game while going against the grain. This is our year. Peace and blessings to all and thank you for your time. Oof. Okay, so main thing is that the Ravens are going to win the Super Bowl this year. As of right now, I would disagree. I said right now I feel like the ceiling for them is the ASC championship game. But I mean I hope to be wrong. Super Bowl would be great. That would be nice. There would be something different. We haven't had one of those in a little while. But right now I don't expect it if we're just being straight up. I hope that they do get it though. So I hope all this comes to fruition. The last question on this episode of Questions From Subscribers came from my boy Sean from East Beemaw. Shout out to my guy man because he always bringing it. He said this is the last question before the draft. What's up in Graven? Hope all is well. Things are great man. Hope everything is good with you. He said let's keep it real. Let's wait till the coaches do what they have to do and then take it from there. The pass is the pass. The Ravens know that they can't develop wide receivers so they hired two of the best coaches in the NFL at developing wide receivers. So let's see if they can develop what we have. As much as I believe they should I do not believe the Ravens will draft the wide receiver in the first round. I believe the first round pick will be an offensive lineman or an edge rusher. With that being said I hope that they don't shoot themselves in a foot comes time to negotiate a deal by not surrounding him with the proper tools to succeed because I do not believe they tried their hardest but I do believe they did not give up on the players in position and that speaks volumes by bringing those two coaches in here to work with them. That's a very good point. However as much as I believe in the Ravens draft process putting a winning product on the field after season until they take more shots like the shots they took with Hollywood that's when I believe they really want to win a Super Bowl. But Ravens fans don't lose hope. They know what they're doing so let's just believe in our team, peace keep up the good work fam, I'm out. So yeah interesting he made some good points because he said the Ravens they seem to believe in their own guys with the coaching highest. With the Keith Williams and T. Martin and especially looking at their resume. Yeah like you did say let's just let's see how it goes. Yeah he said let's see if they can develop what we have. Let's see about that. Let's see if they can really develop our own guys if they can really just bring out the best in these guys and just really really sort of change the narrative. I mean I can't even really call it a narrative because usually when you say something as a narrative it's usually a false narrative whenever you hit that word. But just change the whole change the Ravens way. Change their emote, change their philosophy, change everything when it comes to the Ravens and wide receiver. Change it. This could be the opportunity it's really could. I mean they already got turned down a couple times from different wide receivers. Got turned down from Juju. Got turned down from T. Y. Hilton. Those guys were like no. We going back to the crib man. We going back home we ain't coming there. And with that it shows like okay I mean this is no secret. This is not anything new where wide receivers don't look at the Ravens and don't look at Baltimore like oh that's the place where I need to be. This is no shock or anything like that. This is not a Lamar Jackson thing. This is having even back in Flacco time too. So this is just it's a Ravens thing. So oh my gosh Sean it sounds like he's speaking of is just the Ravens really changing the philosophy. And we're just really changing the standard. When it comes to their development of their own wide receiver. So let's hope that my guy is right and they can do just that.
