Dale Jeremiah from the NFL Network, one of the best draft analysts out there.

So, DJ, I first want to start with the hiring of Jesse Minter for the Ravens.

0:19.1

He's somebody you know.

0:20.6

You work for the Chargers

0:22.2

on the radio team and you know Jesse well. What are your impressions of what he's going to bring

0:27.6

here to Baltimore? Well, I wouldn't say that you hit a home run with Jesse Minter. I'd say you hit a

0:33.3

grand slam with Jesse Minter. I cannot say enough good things about him. And I'll start first of all
