What's the best Ravens podcast? Analysis and interviews.

The Ravens youtube channel is pretty good. They have interviews with front office personnel, scouts, insiders, players...their content has a light feel to it when they talk to the players, but when they talk to the front office people, they go in depth on certain aspects of the team.

As far as analysis, you can find a lot of people giving their opinion, but some of them didn't play past high school, so their football IQ is limited...or worse you get the people that have learned everything they know about football from Madden :russ: I can't really recommend anyone for analysis. That's more of a preference imo. Just like some people don't like Chris Collinsworth or Romo, while others may love these guys.

Jabari Zuniga, 3-4OLB, Florida
Height: 6-3. Weight: 253. Arm: 33.13. Hand: 10.
40 Time: 4.64.
Projected Round (2020): 3-5.
3/21/20: In 2019, Zuniga had 14 tackles with three sacks. He missed a lot of games with a high ankle sprain, including the contests against Tennessee, Auburn, Missouri, Vanderbilt, South Carolina and Florida State. The Gators played him out of position for the NFL, lining him up inside in the sub package at times, but Zuniga showed versatility with how he can get after the quarterback. He then looked at the combine and blazed a fast 40. If his medical evaluation went well, then Zuniga really helped himself.

6/29/19: Zuniga totaled 45 tackles with 11 for a loss and 6.5 sacks in 2018. He needs to get stronger for the NFL. In a 4-3, Zuniga would be limited to being a designated pass-rusher, and he would definitely fit better as a 3-4 outside linebacker. Zuniga (6-3, 245) benefited in 2018 from Jabari Polite having an excellent season.

It was wise for Zuniga to return for his senior year and get stronger before going to the NFL. He has upside as a pass-rusher to rise with a strong 2019, as he has shown some natural pass-rushing skills throughout his collegiate career. In 2017, Zuniga totaled 34 tackles with eight tackles for a loss and four sacks. In 2016, he flashed as a rotational player and situational pass-rusher with five sacks, 8.5 tackles for a loss and 25 tackles.

After looking at Wolfe's stats against Brockers, Wolfe does have more sacks. He's a year older and is coming off his best season as a pass rusher. I'm curious to know why he was still available and why so cheap? Injury history? Taking plays off? I'm not really sure why he's not demanding more money.

Malik Harrison, ILB, Ohio State
Height: 6-2. Weight: 246. Arm: 32.88. Hand: 9.88.
40 Time: 4.66.
Projected Round (2020): 3-5.
3/21/20: In 2019, Harrison had 75 tackles with 4.5 sacks and four passes broken up. He was a solid defender for Ohio State and had a good week at the Senior Bowl.

6/29/19: With some more experienced players ahead of him, it took some time for Harrison to become a starter, but he did as a junior and totaled 81 tackles with 8.5 tackles for a loss and one interceptions. Harrison has good size to him and upside to be better now that he has a year of starting experience.

I think he'll be available for the Ravens at pick 55 and 60, but not 92. If they can't get Queen, he might be a good alternative especially if Jordyn Brooks is gone. After looking more into the background of Willie Gaye, I'm starting to think the Ravens will not draft him. They typically shy away from guys who have served suspensions in college for disciplinary reasons. Gaye has been suspended in the past.

I'm also not feeling Kenneth Murray. He tackles too high and can't get off blocks. He's not going to impact the running game early on in his career if ever.

Harrison looks like he's good at following his assignment, but I question his read and react/football IQ coming into the league. Those are things that can be improved through proper coaching and if nothing else, the Ravens have proven the ability to develop ILB and o-linemen. I also like his size to take on blocks which he'll need to deal with the punishment of the AFC North. With the Browns - Chubb/Hunt and the Squealers trying to preserve the career of Rapistberger, I'm guessing they're going to get a heavy dose of the running game on defense this season. Especially because teams are going to be scared of the offense and will run the ball more to keep them off the field.

Heard him address the AB drills with Lamar and Hollywood. He didn't seem too happy about it and pretty much said they're looking to get some production from their current receiver group. He seems to think AB would be a distraction to the group amongst other things. I didn't think they would sign him anyway.

Boykin needs to get his ass down to Florida and get some fukking reps. I don't know how much of an improvement he can actually have if he's not building chemistry with Lamar now :francis:

Im not mad at the Queen pick but im pretty pissed right now about the Chiefs getting Clyde Edwards-Helaire :beli:

still some decent WRs we could get in round 2

Denzel Mims
Tee Higgins
KJ Hamler
Michael Pittman Jr

I think we definitely go WR with one of the 2nds and probably pass rusher with the other one

RB and guard with the 3rd round picks
