 Should the Ravens trade for Falcons Y receiver Julio Jones? Now that the Ravens actually have two first round picks, can you see them trading up in the draft to select a top tier player?

Team Keep It Clean I love y'all and I mean speaking of the patrons shout out to all of the Team Keep It Clean patrons thank you. Team Keep It Clean we got some really good questions like we always do but let's start it off with something that a lot of people have been talking about today Julio. So the first question on this episode of NFL Questions from subscribers came from yours truly. Should the Ravens trade for wide receiver Julio Jones? Now this isn't the first time that we asked this question but when we asked this question before there were just rumors of Julio Jones possibly being traded. It was a thought it wasn't anything concrete it wasn't anything that had even been reported on. Rumors here and there circulating but now but now it's been put out there that the Falcons have been taking calls on Julio Jones and I know some people might say oh they're just taking calls that doesn't mean anything. Teams put this out there intentionally to get things moving to get it moving. There were probably already people calling on Julio Jones before but now the teams like okay we got to heat this thing up because we want to put this thing in the works we want to get this thing moving. So now it's been put out there by several reporters that hey Falcons taking calls Falcons taking calls Julio got like this massive cap hit I think like 15 mil something like that and the Falcons they ain't trying to deal with it. So it's looking like Julio's time as an Atlanta Falcon is coming to an end but should the Baltimore Ravens make that call? Well the Ravens I believe they have about 15 mil in cap space right now but as we all know if the Ravens not even just the Ravens if a team really wants somebody because somebody asked me this on Twitter they were like whoa wait a minute what about the Ravens cap situation and I told them I responded the cap is cap if a team really wants somebody if they really want a player they will find a way to get it done and for me if the Ravens have the opportunity to trade for Julio Jones now real quick before we get into that what would it take to get Julio Jones well the trade the Falcons are gonna make this trade a post June 1st trade so that means it won't go into effect until then but if you make any moves post June 1st then that any moves that create like dead money anything like that that allows you to break up the payment of whatever that move whatever that move requires you to pay on the cap or any dead money that is allocated from the move like for example for Julio Jones I don't know if these numbers are exact but if the whatever the dead the dead money it is then if you did a post June 1st cut then you would be able to do half in this year half on this year's salary cap and then half on next year's salary cap but if you did if you traded him before June 1st then it would all go on this salary cap so whatever dead money it would all go right here right now so the Falcons are trying to sort of break it up so that's why they're gonna be doing it post June 1st they can make the agreements now it's like when we go into a new league year before the league year starts teams have agreed to make whatever moves like the Rams and the Lions they agree to trade Stafford and and Jared golf but it didn't actually go through until the new league year started same way with Julio Jones how it's gonna be for wherever he gets traded to so what that means is that you don't have to give up any draft picks from this year you would be giving up draft picks from next year so I will love if the Ravens did it I will love if the Ravens did it and they would be able to figure out a way to get him under the cap they will be able to figure out a way to do it because it will take some restructuring I'm sure it will take some maneuvering of the cap but again you look at the Kansas City Chiefs you look at what they do and seems like it's an annual thing that they do right now but guess what hey look where they at right now look where they are they're coming off of two straight Super Bowls they won one of them but they got to two of them they should have actually gotten a three but they've been doing their thing and they keep building these crazy rosters I know somebody's gonna be like well in a couple years they're gonna be in some cap problems well I would gladly take those cap problems if it meant that my team was gonna be one of the top teams every single year for a long period of time we'll deal with that when we get there but if safe instance you got the chance to compete for Super Bowls for Super Bowls you can build Super Bowl rosters every year but you know that down the line a few years down the line that you're gonna have some cap problems then and maybe that in that year you may have to take us a slight step back okay bring it on for me bring it on for me I will take the immediate success right here right now for a cap problems maybe for like a year maybe two down the line and even if you have those cap problems it does not mean that you still won't be able to have a competitive team you're just gonna have to make some tough decisions but anyway with a Julio Jones I would be with it because y'all know I've been saying I want the Ravens to go overkill full of more overkill and I mean if we had Sammy Watkins again we know his history we know his history when it comes to missing games now with Julio Jones we know his history also when it comes to missing games too so I mean you put both those together that be a full seat nah I'm just playing but it would be like you that would really be you going in for Lamar now Julio is older now but Julio still Julio Julio still Julio Julio will be somebody that's been that guy on their team Julio somebody that got plenty of experience Julio somebody that can get it done and he would give Lamar Jackson and the Ravens that true outside number one guy that guy at wide receiver and he would take attention away from everybody else he would make everybody's job that much easier he's a physical he's a he's the perfect I remember we had a question from subscriber months ago on what the perfect prototype for the Ravens at wide receiver would be what is it and I said Julio Jones perfect perfect because he got the frame he got size he got speed he got strength he does not mind blocking he will go up and get it he is that guy he has been that guy for a long period of time and then he will come here Julio Jones already got all the catches in the world now things would change if he came to the Ravens certainly his catching would probably all his reception is probably dropping half but he would be part of a successful team he has some success with the Falcons a little bit here and there but not consistently and with the Ravens he would be a part of an a team that's like right there right there they stay close they are so close so I would be all for Julio Jones do I think the Ravens would do it though not really next question came from my boy Melvin G he said what's up team keeping clean this my first time sending a question so here we go do you think the fact that Lamar Jackson doesn't know the terminology of the playbook is holding the offense back from opening the offense hit me out nothing drives me more crazy than the offense lining up with seven or less seconds on the clock but I notice Lamar only calls plays off of his wristband now see that that all depends when the when the offense is lining up like that is it because Lamar doesn't know the terminology or is it because G roll sending them out there super late well what seems to be the disconnect right there because that is something with the Ravens that happens too much way too much and it's so frustrating because it can kill plays it can mess up plays it can kill drives it can cause penalties it can just set them back because you know Ravens do so much pre snap motion and whatnot they got guys running all over the field left and right back and forth and when you and they always said set with like two seconds left maybe less and then they do that like every game so I don't know if that means that it's Lamar who doesn't know the plays or if it's G roll that sending them out late but whatever it is it needs to get fixed like ASAP next question came from a boy Terrell B he said good morning Graven hope all is well with you and the fam is always I'm not big on fans calling for G roll to give fire reason being his system worked to Lamar strengths to make him the MVP and help our help have our coaches get recognition and even coach a pro bowl I understand everyone is saying that receivers do not want to play for the Ravens because you will not get the amount of catches they desire but the Ravens never have been a selfish team to worry about individual accolades so I agree with hardball and not begging a receiver to come to the team the system we had with the 2000 Ravens didn't beg for receiver and we won a Super Bowl that's still back though this is not 2000 football anymore it is not a league where defense can win championship you you gotta be able to put up points on the board you have to so that's that's throwback but anyway he said of course the defense was a big cause for that but with the addition of Sammy Watkins and with what we have already we should be good good enough to give it a chance with the wide receiver coach additions I'm excited that we may get another Super Bowl I know this was a hefty email but I had to get it off my chest appreciate it Terrell we'll see if they feel like Sammy is enough I don't think that they should feel that way because it's like we talked about Sammy Watkins injury history but we'll see what the Ravens do draft is coming up Julio's there you got some other options too now but um we'll see how they really feel about their wide receiver group over the next week and change next question came from a boy Harry H. he said a engraving how are you and the fam doing are we good he said hope all is well with everyone in team keep it clean family my question is now that we traded Orlando Brown Junior do we focus on the center left guard or right tackle in the draft or all three I think they will end up signing Dennis Kelly as a right tackle and we'll have Terry Phillips as a swing tackle therefore they can draft a development tackle late in the draft which leads me to believe that either we get a start in left guard and move both in the center or we have both men at left guard and draft a starting center what are your thoughts I would say the center I will say center first and foremost and like my guy Sonny from SEG sports said he made it very very good point that the Ravens have passed over Bradley Bozeman at center quite a few times to go with other options even when they had they shuffled the offensive line they had injuries along the offensive line they weren't like okay Bozeman you play center in college go ahead and move out nope they left him right where he was at so I don't think that they gonna all of a sudden move him to center now so I would say they would draft the center so I think that would be the first focus now right tackle maybe they do run with Terry Phillips after he has an offseason because remember last year he was a rookie and last year he didn't have an offseason so maybe he is the plan that they have in place because remember to with Orlando Brown Junior we knew even before he got traded we knew when it came to Lamar Mark Andrews Orlando Brown Junior those were the top three and we knew the Ravens were only gonna sign two of them we knew Lamar wasn't going nowhere and then we also knew Mark Andrews he ain't going nowhere either so Orlando Brown Junior was always the odd man out so Tyree Phillips could already be what he could be what the plan was now with Orlando Brown Junior being like hey I want to play left tackle okay the Ravens granted him that wish and they may have to just accelerate the process for replacing him which could be Tyree Phillips next question came from a boy Philip L he said now that Orlando Brown Junior has been traded so many fans want to see a first-round wide receiver like Bateman and Marshall taking but me I'm not one of those fans there's a lot of holes that need to be filled on the roster and do the trade that we now have nine total picks once the draft is here I would not be surprised if EDC was to draft a pass rusher at 27 like Jalen Phillips from Miami if he was to fall due to his medical condition history then with the 31st pick pick a caliber ready to go starting offensive tackle like Tevin Jenkins from Oklahoma State now I know after the draft Villanova will be signed but I believe he will mainly be used as a security blanket just in case Stanley ain't ready at the beginning of the season because he's 33 years old never play right tackle was never good at run blocking now we know how EDC always goes by best player available so if they think they could trade back and pick up that player I wouldn't be surprised if they traded 31 and move back to the top of the second round and drafted a wide receiver like Diamond Brown or Margie Marry Rogers plus received an additional third-round pick in that trade so what are your thoughts you made some really good points especially about a Villanova Villanova I do not think if the Raven sign him yeah I don't think he is that guy for them at either tackle spot but yeah like you said I do completely agree he is whether it's him Dennis Kelly or whether it's somebody else who they're not talking about publicly but as far as Villanova specifically feel like it's just an insurance policy it's just insurance and now Dennis Kelly he was somebody that was a starter he was a quality starter too for the Titans he's a quality starter for them so he could end up being the guy and again yeah he could be they could put him in a starting lineup or they could be like you know what it's just insurance just in case Ronnie ain't good to go yet but yeah if they if they went to the draft to get a tackle that could be another route but again like we said before maybe tired Phillips with a full offseason he can be that guy he could be ready to go but they are certainly going to add to their offensive line via the draft especially the interior of it next question came from a boy Mike B he said do you think the Ravens will most likely trade up in this draft to snag a top-tier player unlike past years you mean unlike forever well normally I know they did go back up to get them on anyway I don't see them trading back into the second round because they've already given up a second rounder for Orlando Brown Jr. hmm I just can't man I just I can't see them doing that man because it just is so unraven like it's so unraven like to to really trade up they got some ammo now man they got ammo but I just like trading up in the first round like they've traded up in other rounds before too and I don't mean they trade up in the first round too before like a little bit but to really like trade up up to get a top I just can't see them doing it next question came from a boy Rodeo he said what's up my guy hope you having an amazing day and all the team keeping clean too first things first isn't it ironic that the Ravens love going after old wide receivers but don't want to go get the 32 year old that has the best on-field resume and maybe the best wide receiver to ever sport the black and purple yeah mr. fly like a butterfly sting like a bee oh I didn't know what that was going but what one of his cases just got settled and in only half a season with Tom a bees numbers would rank second if he was on the Ravens with most of our wide receivers played 16 games just crazy to me this isn't a done deal or is it May 4th and May 4th would be well after May 3rd I don't know if it's May 3rd May 4th officially but anyway that's when signing an outside free agent would not count against the compensatory pick formula but let's keep going he said uh secondly does Lamar Jackson have the status to have a say so in player personnel and acquisitions I'm not so sure he is there yet but I'm also sure not so sure that he isn't like you have to believe he vouch for AB or some other free agents or maybe in the draft he has his preference of guys he would like to put his trust in after all he is doing for this franchise after all he is doing for this franchise we have to give back to this phenom what do you think oh well he wanted Hollywood and he got him he got him also that was a good choice yeah you try to get juju but juju said no no I'm straight straight and so yeah he has somewhat of a say so but you got to feel like is it is I feel like it's not too much I mean I don't know for sure but I feel like the Ravens they probably have their vision on the way that they want to really build this team they have in their minds how they really feel what type of players would best fit this Ravens roster so I think they would take some input here and there from Lamar but I think anything that they do would be mostly just on their their own thoughts next question came from a boy Q you said engraving what's up brother can I ask you why you think Miles Boykin is the guy I do not think his potential is even close to AJ Brown or DK Metcalf he's a good piece for the team but he does not have a dog personality to be a true number one compare him to his draft class even Hollywood his football personality is not demanding which is why his play reflects it and Lamar doesn't trust him what are your thoughts that's a really good question and with Miles Boykin it's not that I think he is the guy I would love for him to be the guy I don't think it's there right now but I do not think that he his potential has been absolutely exhausted with the Ravens to where I we tried everything that we possibly could with Miles Boykin but hey it just didn't work out if that was the case if the Ravens were had been doing that for the past couple years then I would be like okay no he ain't got it but they haven't been it haven't been now we know like and one thing too to think about he doesn't have a dog personality if I know why I hear a lot of people say that and I can I can understand why they say that but think about this if he didn't have that dog personality what kind of personality does he have does he have a diva personality because you sure don't see him complaining about blocking and what smile even though he is a wide receiver what's Miles Boykin known for the most with these Baltimore Ravens he's known for being a very very good blocker now there are a lot of receivers that receivers love to catch they love catching passes and when they don't catch passes some of them will complain they'll vent they'll let it out and I ain't really got a problem with that because that's receivers job to catch passes but you would think that if this guy really didn't have that dog mentality do you think he would be a good blocker could he be a nice guy and be like oh okay I'm I'm getting ready to block you now a corner back or line back or a safety I'm getting ready to go ahead and block you now please it clear out the way because I need my running back so I need my quarterback I need my wire see to get some yak so I'm gonna would you please excuse us no he has to have some nasty in him to in order to be a good blocker he has to you can't be no hmm hi how's it going oh yeah how's the family doing you can't be that and be a good blocker no you got to have that dog in you so with Miles Boykin he's got something there but it's up to the Ravens to really bring it out that much more now of course him and Lamar got to get on the same page they are clearly not there from what we've seen and again hopefully this season just like we hope last season but hopefully this season those opportunities will be there and Lamar got to put more trust in him too Lamar yeah like you said Lamar don't trust him he doesn't we see that because there's plenty of opportunities with Miles Boykin has been open and Lamar be like oh no some straight and even if it's a one-on-one Lamar look I'm gonna be no no no I'm straight sometimes they won't even look his way but they just the Ravens have not pushed Miles Boykin to his full potential so this is why I haven't given up on Miles Boykin like I know a lot of Ravens fans have because I you just know if he was somewhere else and it's like it's crazy because we say this about so many Ravens receivers if they were somewhere else they would eat eat we know Ravens their philosophy and they're just MO is not receiver friendly it's not so with Miles Boykin I'm not until I actually see them really invest in Miles Boykin or he see him go somewhere else and it doesn't work for him somewhere else then I would give up on him then at that point but right now no not even close and the last question on this episode of an FL question from subscribers came from my boy Carlo iron addict he said I've been thinking shout out to my guy to win he said now that some time has passed after this trade I would say this move says a lot of things but one of those things could be that Stanley is looking good and better than expected if that's the case I love this move by the Ravens if not I know there's a plan if it's a long time deal between Orlando or Andrews it's been real Orlando Brown Junior we picked Andrews all day yep see we were just talking about that earlier we all wish him the best in following his dreams but I think we have more pressing matters at hand we are hunting a championship the chiefs had their fun it's all time now but I mean with the chiefs they looking like they trying to have some more fun by all the moves that they have been making got Orlando Brown Junior got Joe Thune bringing back David Tardiff I forgot it's not anyway so I believe this was the best option for us both and I can see us moving Villanueva to right tackle and again hopefully he wouldn't be the end all be all there but we'll see which he has more than enough experience in the league to handle the switch since he did it with the Pittsburgh Steelers the more thing about this trade I'm excited and glad for this aggressive move by Eric Dacosta in this promising strategy for us as Ravens fans earlier this week we only had seven draft picks with only two in the fifth round now to having nine in total with two picks in every round but the second with a starter in the pipeline to replace Orlando Brown Junior at right tackle with those same picks we can say we are now in a better position to really improve on offense and truly build around Lamar Jackson and with his upcoming contract in mind since it seems we can never afford anyone on offense there are some very talented offensive linemen outside linebackers linebacker safeties and most requested wide receivers and the way the cost that has been moving he definitely has some great foresight of the players who we need what do you think you said a plan is a series of small steps without those steps there is no plan shout out to Carlo all right so this is a nice way to end it off um yeah it did this uh the Orlando Brown Junior trade it did give them more picks it certainly did that I agree with that but I also think that it slightly it's slightly set them back a bit too because I mean of course yeah like you said they they got that plan in place and again I think that plan could be tired Phillips but we'll see but it does set them back a bit because now you also created a hole now yeah you do have more opportunities to feel that hole now since you have a few more picks and a higher pick too for now even though I don't expect that I don't I don't think anybody does but I don't expect the Ravens to pick two times in the first round I don't expect that at all I think that the Ravens are going to end up trading back one of those picks I think everybody feels that way too but I feel like the Ravens gonna end up trading back with one of those first round picks to get even more picks because you know they love all them picks I wouldn't I would love for them to either trade up or stay where they at but we'll see we'll see um but yeah they did give the they gave themselves more of an opportunity like it's like Eric the Casa said hey the more times we swing more opportunities we have to hit on these draft picks and that is true um but you also got to look at the situational swinging at least I do now with the situational swinging yeah more draft picks more chances to get more guys but if those draft picks are low then that lowers the chances of those guys being impact players and that's what I've said that the Ravens really need to get this draft more impact players because under Eric the Costa so far under the past two drafts and I know last year is kind of like shaky because of the offseason and what it was but they just need to find a way to get more impact players and no impact players are not just in the first round but if you're picking them in the first round then hey those guys are usually you're almost forced to use those guys that much more because they were higher draft picks so they were higher investments for your team so with that being said I'm just I hope I hope that with this draft biggest thing is getting guys that are gonna make a difference right here and right now not project guys not oh we'll see how that guy does hopefully the good special team I mean you need special team is now I'm not discrediting the special team is now but still you need to find impact guys on this in this draft and then like you said they need to be able to build around LeMau and if the first building around him starts with the offensive line that's why I feel like they took a step back we're getting rid of Orlando Brown Junior so we'll see how they replace him I don't think Alejandro Villanueva will be an upgrade or Dennis Kelly he would he be an upgrade no I don't think it'd be an upgrade but Dennis Kelly probably a more solid option than Villanueva so let's see what the Ravens did that that's a lot of what we have to do right now we just got to wait sit back and see what the Ravens do
