 This may be probably the shortest NFL visit in history because it was just announced like this morning like maybe not even an hour ago that Geno Stone was visiting with the Baltimore Ravens and then not even an hour after that it was announced to Ravens have signed Geno Stone to a one-year deal. Now for some of you I know wait a minute Geno Stone, Geno Stone that name it just it rings a bell it rings a bell that I know it from somewhere well of course you do they drafted him last year I believe he was a seventh round pick out of Iowa at safety and Geno Stone from a lot of people he had a lot of high praise so many people were like man this guy Geno Stone he is a steal he got potential start-up ability he got he got that ball hulking a lot of people have said that and with Geno Stone he was somebody that last year again the Ravens drafted then they cut then he signed into the practice squad then it was just a lot of back and forth but then they finally cut him and then he caught on with the Texans and we of course we wished him well we wished him well and hope that everything ended up working out for him in the Houston Texans but obviously it didn't so he is back with the Baltimore Ravens now this signing in my opinion I don't think it really alters the Ravens plans or anything I still think they will look to probably sign a veteran safety maybe after the draft I still think they may even look to possibly draft a safety but this sort of takes away not necessarily takes away the need to draft a safety it could because it's like you're getting your rookie back it's like you're using a draft pick again well not even using the draft pick again but it's like you're bringing him back like you drafted him because he was obviously on your team in the first place uh and you're just like hey okay let's let's run it back let's run it back uh low risk deal it's a one-year deal it's probably gonna be like super super super low especially given that he was a seventh round pick um so it's not gonna be any crazy money anything like that it's gonna have minimal impact on the salary cap but again maximum potential uh so now you have two safeties two young safeties uh in one-year deals that being Gino Stone and also to Sean Elliott but I do think the Ravens still look at safety in the draft now it's not as much as a pressing need but they still you still look you still take that look but this just like I said it just gives them a little flexibility a little more flexibility uh heading into the NFL draft which is less than a month away which is crazy when you think about it it's really crazy we're getting there we really are um because with the Ravens what they like to do they don't like drafting for need they like drafting BPA best player available and when you do that when you draft best player available you can truly get whatever the whoever the best player available is on the board at that time sometimes when you are forced to draft for need not that it's even necessarily a bad thing but sometimes it can happen that way when you're forced to draft for need uh then you can sort of reach on guys and you can draft guys a lot earlier than not necessarily they should have been drafted because I don't want to say like oh man this guy he should have been drafted so high because hey maybe it works out and maybe they showed you enough potential where you feel comfortable taking them at whatever spot but sometimes you can sort of press you can sort of press and then it just sometimes it works out sometimes it doesn't so there's no there's no special formula for the draft there's no short thing for the draft it it is what it is it is what it is um sometimes guys who had who flashed all the potential in the world in college sometimes they end up being bus some guys that just in college they look like they were nothing special they end up being amazing so there there's no formula anything like that but anyway with this visit I guess the Ravens were like look Gino we obviously know you we obviously scouted you we obviously drafted you we ain't gotta have much of a conversation hey Gino thanks Gino sign Gino bye Gino see you later see in a couple months when things roll back around we got another visit we gotta take care of now with this guy we don't know him as much but we got we're gonna have him in the building and we can't have two different players in the building at the same time because we wouldn't be able to socially distance you guys so okay we're gonna take care of Sammy Watkins later we'll have our visit with him and Gino we'll follow up good deal good day goodbye that was it so like Gino's stone is with the Ravens facility now since Sammy Watkins is on the way I'm out
