 Instead of going the route of the draft could the Baltimore Ravens actually look to add a receiver via trade Proving big body wide receiver that can come in to the Baltimore Ravens and help get the job done Well, I think it is very very possible and in this special episode of questions from team keep it clean Our very first question is just about that Before we get into it gotta give a shout out to the newest team keep it clean patron Who the question is from by the way, Isaiah and let me know if I pronounce the name wrong So my apologies if I did but hopefully I got it right now his question. He said a engraving. Hey Isaiah What's up, man? He said what do you think in a trade for a big body wide receiver? Like somebody like a DK Metcalf. Oh, y'all know I would love that I would love it or a proven receiver like a Justin Jefferson now Hold on now, buddy, like with a Justin Jefferson that would be great too, but With Justin Jefferson, I just don't feel like the Baltimore Ravens have the draft capital to get a Justin Jefferson They would literally have to give up everything Everything and more to get a Justin Jefferson and Ravens ain't gonna give up everything not not a bunch of draft pick But they ain't giving up nothing crazy to acquire nobody so we can X him off the list I mean he said or a T Higgins now What T Higgins making a trade inside the AFC North? That's when you really have to give up something for sure But I don't see the Bengals like trading him to the Baltimore Ravens, especially because the Bengals and Ravens They like toe-to-toe right now So it's like those are the two top dogs in the AFC North So I don't see the Bengals being like a we trying to compete with the Ravens. You know what let's ship them to you No, yeah, I don't see that going down but One move that I could see happening Would be for Brandon. I you know, I know the report came out today Couple hours ago that all the Ravens and the Steelers and some third mystery team are interested and brand and Brandon I you and that Brandon I you requested a trade from the 49ers and then I saw that Okay, okay, I like it. Let's go, baby, but then Brandon I you agent he chimed in and he told that reporter you say hey You need to get better sources buddy. Well, he ain't say the buddy part, but he said you need to get better sources So essentially that is Brandon I you agent shut it all down We ain't request no trade from the 49ers. That's fake news. That's false information. That's a lie and I won't let you tell it but How many times have we seen the story before How many times have we seen the story before where we hear about a player possibly requesting a trade The agent or even a player may come out shut it down request no trade all For that player to be shipped off That's why with the report that said the Ravens and the Steelers were interested and then the agent shutting it down that ain't fazed me none that ain't fazed me none because Something's gonna go down with Brandon I you something is something really big either way because like I said before like y'all already know Cuz y'all are smart when a player wipes everything off in social media It means one of two things either the players about to get a big new contract from his team Let's go or that player is gonna get shipped off. He's going to get traded So a brand-new guy I do still think it is a real possibility that he does get traded Regardless of what his agent says regardless of whatever the regardless of everything I still do think it's a real possibility that he gets sent off Because the 49ers they may look at the bow. So we got the bow. Okay. That's okay. That's okay. They look at kiddo Oh, yeah, we got kiddo. That's okay. That's okay. And then they got Brock Purdy coming up Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's about to be our guy for sure. We got to pay him soon and they may look at um They may look at a you like Ah You know what you produce for us you do some nice things for us, but No, we we're gonna take that that draft capital We do a pretty good job of fielding a team and building a team and whatnot So we'll take those draft assets from somebody else So again, I in my personal opinion again, I don't know nothing. I don't know nobody I'm an NFL outsider. No plugs. No sources. No connects But I do still feel like Brandon Ayuk could be on up out of there Could it be to the Baltimore Ravens? It's of course possible now if He was to be traded to the Baltimore Ravens, which a lot of us would love I would wonder like hmm. What would they have to give up in order to acquire Brandon Ayuk? Would it be the first round pick? It could be could be but our receivers really going for first round is anymore Like I mean, remember Hollywood a couple years ago. He went for a first round stage. I don't act the costa, but I'm Really see you receive going for first round like that anymore, but at the same time Well, Tyreek Hill, he went for a couple of first rounders. I think but I'm So your brand are you he could go for a first round, but and it's a late first round or two It would be pick 30. So yeah, I actually could see that But it would be it could it be a first rounder and more it would well It would be a first round and more but could it be a first round and more draft picks or a first rounder and a player That's where it's been a lot of conversation amongst Ravens fans, too Which player would it be and a lot of people have brought that conversation around? Rashad Bateman Something to think about with the Baltimore Ravens Rashad Bateman Was the same thing that we had to think about the conversation We had had with Hollywood and the Baltimore Ravens around the same time in both of their careers Both first round draft picks both in the offseason where the general manager Eric the costa has to decide whether he's going to pick up their fifth year options or not and With Hollywood Eric the costa came out and said oh, yeah, we anticipate picking up Hollywood's fifth year option What happened on draft night? Traded shipped out With Rashad Bateman He was asked about oh, what's the status of Rashad Bateman in a doubt fair ways fifth year option We'll talk about that at a later date. So he didn't give us anything and we didn't expect him to give us anything, but we'll see So if they are going to possibly Trade Rashad Bateman I think the time that they would do it if they're going to do it would be now now y'all know my preference I Would love if the Baltimore Ravens found a way to get somebody like a Brandon I you Or DK Metcalfa whoever but no no no I take them back not whoever but if they were to get somebody proven or somebody Who's nice somebody who's like that somebody who's been productive somebody who's been consistent? If they could do that and keep Rashad Bateman on top of that But I know life in the NFL the business side of the NFL Don't always work like that. Don't always work in your favor like that So we'll see the team keep it clean before we continue with this episode of questions from y'all make sure you subscribe to the channel Turn them notifications on and run them likes all the way up, baby We're about to have a really great week this week. I don't know why but it's going to be great now Shout out to all the team keep it clean patrons This question again It came from the newest team keep it clean patron my guy Isaiah if you would like to become a team keep it clean patron You can go to patreon.com slash engraving vids and if you don't want to that's fine as well Now I only asked the first part of his question. So my apologies. Let's get to the second part. He said What about yeah, I like Isaiah Isaiah thinks big he thinks big outside of the box He said what about trading for Michael Parsons to replace your David? I love you. I love it. I love it. I ain't gonna happen But I would love that see out me if this was madden like cuz it madden I'd be going crazy with it I'll be going crazy with it. I'll give up the draft picks and acquire players I do it every year every every single season I do it all the time But he said what about trading for Michael Parsons to replace clowning and going for a young healthy lineman in the first round Now if you trade him for Michael Parsons, you ain't gonna have no first round pick not this year not next year You ain't gonna have no first round pick for a while. So while that will be great It's something that the Baltimore Ravens just wouldn't do next question came from another team Keep it clean patron my god down and he said well, I've been great in the middle while since I sent a question But I want to take it back a little bit. So sorry if this is a little long I recently have watched the interview at EDC talking at Penn State and it had me thinking the part in the interview Where he said he panicked when he signed Earl Thomas it made me think of why we didn't build around Lamar Jackson early in his career EDC took over in Lamar second season And I feel like EDC was still settling in his own way of thinking for the next two seasons in my opinion I think that EDC didn't know how to build around the young quarterback back then like what image of building around the young quarterback Has he been a part of? That's deep right there Because we saw with Flacco They didn't do a good job of building the offense around Flacco. They would still be very cheap Very lackluster for a lot of the parts at the wide receiver position. Now. Hey, sometimes it worked Like we see a Derrick Mason. Yeah, Derrick Mason. He did his thing with the Baltimore Ravens. He saw Anquan Bolton He did his thing with the Baltimore Ravens. We saw a Stevesman singing those things with the Baltimore Ravens But with those especially the first and the last with Derrick Mason and Stevesman senior They were way on the back ends of their careers. So it was a low risk High reward thing with the Baltimore Ravens that way it worked out with those guys And then with Anquan Bolton that that was great I think they traded like a third and fourth round picked to get Anquan Bolton And obviously worked out perfectly because they got the Super Bowl and he was a huge part of it But there were a lot of misses with Flacco There was a lot of hey, what what is this about when it came to really building the offense around Joe Flacco? But anyway, he also said After being behind Ozzie for so long I think EDC still had that build the defense and sign old receivers mindset. What do you think? Yeah? Yeah, but you spot on we now see the Texans taking advantage of that with CJ Stroud and building Around him, but I do think now Though that EDC is starting and trending in his own mindset of how he wants to build a team I just hope it's not too late and time will tell that that's that's such a great point that you brought out But time will tell this offseason like we slowly Seem like we've been seeing a change even though I mean Sammy walking And I was hype about there's Brian man I was like man. Hey, hopefully we can get some we get some Odell Beckham, Jr. Now Odell Beckham, Jr. Again, that was another one I was hoping and we'll get back. I'm sure you came in and did his thing but again, he was not he was off the field for a lot of it, but um Yeah, man, it's just it seems like he trended it like and again. He been taking them swings in the draft, too Drapped in Hollywood draft the Rashad Bateman So drafted Zay flowers and the first round picks that he drafted at wire receiver It's been nice. I mean Zay flowers and Hollywood did a thing Rashad Bateman. It's it's there. We got to get it going We got to get it going as long as he remains with the Baltimore Ravens this year So he's been trying different ways and different strategies and whatnot but it's Some got a gift and this is why a lot of us are like a like Zay flowers great He was amazing. Let's hear this thing. Awesome. And the way that the offense is changing. It's great Todd Munkin did his thing last year. Awesome But this is why people want a proven guy not somebody that's only proven, but a healthy proven guy somebody that's available and proven and somebody that's like that and proven you pair him with Zay flowers You pair him with Mark Andrews. You pair him with Isaiah likely you pair him with Lamar Jackson You pair him with Derick Henry That could be nasty. Next question came from another team keeping clean patron my guy Harry He said hello ingraving the team keeping clean family. I hope everyone is great today and may your problems not stress you out I appreciate that. He said the draft is coming soon and the Texans are gearing up to challenge for the AFC crown Nick Cisario has done a good job this offseason of surrounding CJ Stroud with weapons while on his rookie contract something I wish EDC did a better job of but I die grass See team keeping clean with the team keeping clean on the same page. They're on the same page But anyway continue when he said they now have Joe mixing as they're running back one Dolan Shaw says they're tight in one and Stefan digs is now their wide receiver one actually they got like two or three wide receiver ones like they got taint Dale and Is an eco Collins, but anyway, he said plus they upgraded their defense with the Neil Hunter CJ Henderson and re-signed Derrick Barnett I think that they are going to be a problem this year, but I Trust that EDC will find a way to counter their moves. Oh, they will be a problem They're problem last year again for the Ravens. They they weren't a problem Ravens looking took care of their business against the Texans But Texans they nice. He said we know as Ravens fans. We've been looking for a seat Oh my goodness see that's what I'm talking about. What do you keep it clean? We don't say fate if you're on the same page, man. He said we know as Ravens fans We've been looking for received a compliment they flowers and push for child Bateman We have struck out so far with free agents Josh Reynolds OBJ, etc I think the Texans step on digs may have inadvertently solved our problem The Texans now have too many wide receivers and I think EDC should make a trade with them Oh, wow, I think we should trade a fifth round pick for John Metchie the third He was a beast of Alabama and has the ability to play on the outside or in the slot He has great hands and isn't afraid of contact. He's 511 and 190 pounds He missed time due to an ACL tear at the end of his college career and then had a battle with cancer his rookie year Oh, yeah, yeah, I remember that part now I don't think this should keep us from getting a big body X receiver in the draft I think that adding a young veteran like him though will push Bateman And not make us as desperate for receiving in early rounds mmm, I Don't think that would really push Bateman I don't especially if they trade you because you said to them to trade a fifth round pick for John Metchie They trained a fifth round pick for a receiver I don't think that would be that wouldn't push Bateman at all because you can see that and be like Oh the fifth round that oh trade a fifth round for him like a fifth round is not necessarily a throwaway pick But it's like it's a it's a throwaway pick. It's like, okay, whatever Fifth round pick so I don't think that will push Bateman It would add more depth and more competition more so on the back end, but For beta. I don't really think that will move Bateman like that Then he said um, oh Yeah, he said I think that adding a young veteran like him will push Bateman and not make us as desperate for receiver in the early Rounds why the Texans would why the Texans will want to move on from him Is that he is basically their fifth receiver after they got digs and will be willing to get some draft Conversations since they had to give away a second round pick. What does everyone else think hopefully EDC and Lacey are listening? Shout out to Lacey the constant LDC But nah, yeah, they could do that and that is a good point Especially with the plethora of receivers that they have that is such a good problem to have I love that I know some people say oh, there's only one ball to go around Well, hey, that's a great problem to have if you got so many really good pass catchers that want to catch that ball But yeah, I just don't really think that would move Bateman like that next question. Oh my goodness Came from another team keeping clean patron. My god be as he said, what's up, bro? Hope all as well Oh, everything is great until you asked me to do this. He said good question for you Give me your top 10 all-time Ravens in order That's like Impossible for me to do in order to oh, yeah, I yeah, I can't do that But some of the best Ravens of all time try to think of 10 of them off the top of my head Erid Ray Lewis Jonathan Ogden Tarell Suggs Say Joe Flacco Lamar Jackson Who else like what tight ends as I say Taheeb then I say Shannon Shaw then I say Mark Andrew like what tight is like You can pick anyone right there and that would be three more people right there Ray Rice Who else at receiver Receiver Derek Mason there makes it came to this thing. I mean Derek Mason and Juan Bolton. We just talking about Steve Smith senior earlier So at receivers, so it's up there Chris McAllister C-Mac. Oh Jamal look Jamal Lewis Jamal Lewis, man. I'm trippin Jamal Lewis. Wow Lody nada came and set that standard for a long time Who else Yeah, man, I guess I think I think I'd actually name more than 10 Next question came from my god DJ DJ be letting the Ravens have it He said they go step on digs again not being traded to his hometown team Baltimore Ravens He said shaking my head. They'll pick up somebody who ain't played in the league in 10 years The Ravens gonna sign Steve's with senior out of retirement and say he still has the Jets and he's the Steve Smith senior of old He said I'm sick and tired to be a sick and tired of the Ravens never getting better doing anything for the boy Why receiver it's just too many great or good. Why receivers the Ravens never try and get I mean We don't know if they tried but they certainly And he said ungraven how many times has EDC just said keep it clean and went all out full of more I'm waiting all these cubies have who have actually been somewhere matter of fact been to the Super Bowl have had a great bona fide Go get anything why receiver look at my homes with Tyreek Hill now He'll with two and they suddenly become what Super Bowl contenders. Well They the dolphins were a weird kind of nice like they were not actually they they were only good against the bad teams But against the good teams Anyway, he said Joe burrow and Jamal chase Super Bowl appearance Jalen Hurtson AJ Brown Super Bowl appearance Josh Allen him and Diggs on the same page Super Bowl contenders. Yeah, they couldn't get past the chiefs either. Just just like us And when it when is EDC gonna actually bless them all with a Superstar wire see But he's also he's always so focused on the defense and give them all dookie on offense Like what is that when is he going to go law alpha Lamar because he hasn't once did so he got OBJ to keep Lamar there and then once he secured his bag OBJ is going doof gone we keep tiling injured reserve wireless Wow you all boy you cold man and Nelson Nelson Nelson dropper Lord Wow come on engraving he acts like he doesn't like Lamar I mean come on Ozzy went and got an coin boat in the go along with Tory Smith and Jacobi Jones Even flacko got wires. He was before Lamar Just talking about that kind of sort of a nut really He said this is becoming second and to keep watching do better for your QB Lamar almost eight years in and the only good thing He feels he did for Lamar was signed there He busted up Henry get Lamar that guy wireless even stop sign of people who want to weigh out peace and blessings to the channel and your family God bless so that's a nice way to end it. I appreciate that We're gonna see we're gonna see it's We're gonna see how the rest of the offseason goes we got a while to go So that's a good thing. We got about five more months left. So we'll see what EDC does Let's see what he ends up shaking up at the wire receive position. So we're gonna say ma'am and He also said you wait you watch he says all I got to say is get Lamar a wide receiver So he was basically saying hey, this was a different email on a different day He was saying watch that presser watch the pre-draft presser watch Elias lunch and he said you don't care What he says, but he said all that my guy TJ had to say get Lamar a Next questions came from my guy Java He said with the moves by the Texans and other teams What must the Ravens do to stay in their championship window and get the best out of love more? Think that's a simple answer. Just give him the best Give him the best of the best like really giving the best of the best You have some really great on the team right now. You got a Mark Andrews You got a like these a flowers nice to him and Lamar got a nice connection Rashad Bateman getting there But go out and get a receiver. That's like that. That's like that and that's not aging That's still in their prime or hitting their prime or closer to their prime Go get it. Yes. That's that's my my opinion. Anyway, his other question was camsire Came doing that is on club Shay Shay that Lamar over things too much instead of just playing his game and taking over What are your thoughts? Oh, yeah, I could see that for sure. That's a good way to put it I think that Cuz we talk about that a lot especially them the big games and playoff games There'll be a lot of times when it'll seem like he may be trying to play provable and you ain't got to prove nothing You ain't got to prove nothing to nobody just go out there and win Cuz no matter what happens and we talked about this before say for instance Ravens in a playoff game Ravens in the AFC Championship game and Ravens win they beat whoever it'd be the chiefs to whoever but they win and Lamar throws for like 100 100 99 passing yards and he has 108 rushing yards people could look at that and say oh man What he ran the ball so much he hardly even passed it hardly got any passing yards But if the Ravens won nobody can take that win away from him They can't no matter what they say no matter what they can't take that one with that went away from him Say for instance the same thing happened in the Super Bowl in the Ravens one Oh Lamar has a hundred eighty nine passing yards. He had a hundred three rushing yards, but the Ravens won People gonna say all they want. Oh, that's not a quarterback. That's what kind of stats of those What kind of numbers are those that are done? But if the Ravens won the Super Bowl that would be the only thing that mattered That would be it nothing else would matter so If he just played his game continue to play again in the this is the Lamar thing, but this is a Ravens thing, too They get in these big moments and they forget who they are They forget who what got them there? They got to stop forgetting next question came from my guy Michael. He said backyard receiver Hey, bro. Hope all is well with the family. I hope all is going well with the rest of your followers I got a question that asks what would be more feasible a great route running wide receiver Who's got top-notch speed and great hands over a receiver that who has that backyard mentality at times? Because I know plays aren't always going to stay on time and how are they supposed to be called? What's your thoughts? Many blesses. Hey, I appreciate you Mike Guess somebody that can do both but now I would say the The the backyard we got a great route runner and Rashad Bateman But he remember just ain't got that connection So it's important that you get a receiver that Lamar can have that connection with that it can build that trust with Somebody that can do the on-time stuff the timely stuff But somebody who when everything breaks down they break out next question came from my guy Superstar Dre He said I ain't great. Hope all others going well with you in the fam I appreciate that and he said congratulations on a new addition to the flock. Thank you very much my friend My question is to you. What do you see the Ravens going after in the draft? I mean everything they got what nine picks. Oh, yeah a little bit everything But anyway, he said my heart is telling me more on the offensive side of the ball But my head is telling me they're gonna continue to add more defense than offense Which is a definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result No, I think it all depends. I think they obviously need offensive linemen. You can't ignore that They need probably edge guy. You can go after corner. There's receiver So, yeah, they you still need another safety, too And then of course, you just depth just depth depth at linebacker depth and pass rush depth on the offensive line, too But often line you need starters and depth So, yeah, just yeah, like I said a little bit of everything for sure But I ain't say how do you feel about the offseason moves so far? They hit home with Derek Henry But they got to add some pieces on offensive line and why receive a room I feel like if they don't tell if they don't then they'll be wasting a prime Lamar and a bell Cal running back That they always needed about the offseason so far Yeah, Derek Henry move was nice. They brought in Derek Henry. They brought back Malik Harrison They brought back Nelson Aguilar. They brought in Josh Jones from the Texans They brought in a cornerback who played for the Texans, too But he's more so just a special teams guy, which ain't nothing wrong with that But um, it's I think the offseason so far has been underwhelming. I would say Ravens have definitely lost a lot more than they gained But that was expected because they were the best team in the league last year and they showed it Squander the big opportunity last year obviously. We ain't got to talk about that But um offseason so far. I'll say the best word to describe it is underwhelming the vitality in versatility Next question came from my guy Mark. He said vitality is to find out the state of being strong and active I want to touch on some ideas and tweaks that may take that may make our versatility even more vital and get your thoughts What's up in gravy? You know, I got a check on you the famine the little one on the way and team keeping clean hope all as well With you a much love my god more appreciate that man He's a now to get on to some points some are roster related and draft related I want to start on a defense and my pitch is let Malik Harrison start next to Roquan and Have two thumpers in the middle and have Trenton Simpson started outside linebacker. Okay Okay, so no thunder and lightning you want thunder thunder Okay, let's read he said my logic here is the strong versatility Trenton played at all three levels on the defense that cleans him from safety to lineback and edge He can play everywhere. Oh, I didn't know that. I appreciate that He said why not let him scream off the edge and also play coverage as a linebacker have him and Kyle Vannoi contain the outside While Roquan Smith and Malik Run the middle it gives me vibes when Ray had Jamil McClain and then at the nail Ellaby or even bought Scott next to him. Okay. I like that. Yeah, I didn't know that about Trenton Simpson That's something right there, man. I know he could do it all that makes me even more excited to see him He said so back to Trent. He's an athletic freaking. We have another in Kyle Hamilton. You said it himself He's a baller who plays everywhere and I'm gonna tie this all up with a draft pick. I've been high on Cooper Dijon For what no Cooper Dijon is Dijon. Not the John Cooper Dijon for a while He's a cornerback who can play boundary So you can play on the outside he can play the nickel so you can play on the inside Also, he can be an awesome safety. Oh, okay, so you do it all too I would Hamilton Dijon and Simpson so much versatility is there Each one can somewhat play each other's role on the defense or even free up one another to make a play I love that thinking I love that you you explain that perfectly. I appreciate that man. That was that was fun And that's fun to think about too like people that can do it all Um, because we have people that can do it all You can line them up at different positions and you can really disguise the defense and like you said you can make it versatile He said this is this isn't going to be as much of a mouthful But jaheem bail the titan out of fsu. He's 63 238. He's not a traditional titan He transferred from South Carolina and he was a running back tighten hybrid kind like college use check But a bit faster off rip. He's a bruising back who can rock with soft catching hands with hips Oh, excuse me with hops. Uh, he would give Todd and Lamar so much versatility I said with hips. I thought that he was talking about like him not being a stiff runner, but look I'm over here changing the word anyway He would give Todd and Lamar so much versatility as a weapon in the slot and a weapon out of the backfield And straight up dog for a back plus. He's big, but he isn't the same as Derek Henry So you'll be getting a dimension that's not on your roster. Oh, that would be something So he's a tight end slash running back. So just somebody that could do multiple things. Uh, and that I've Yeah, that was cow use check he was um Yeah, that tight end H back full back a little bit of everything But yeah, the way that you describe this guy sound like he could do a bit more but similar to uh, uh use check so, hey The modern area the the more you can do right and he also said, uh, obviously we have to get these guys first and it's uh, It's an if but definitely possible. I know all line is a need But it's not a must in round one. Check your him out. He'll be there day three Also, give John Baker a look. Uh, he's 61 210. I think he just visited the Ravens like a couple days ago, I believe Um And he said do it all type of receiver. I know you're busy, bro And we appreciate all you do sorry for the novel and you all stay blessed. Oh, no No, no, no, please don't apologize that because that was a perfect way to end this off
