Welcome into Lounge, presented by Draft Kings.

I'm Ryan Mink here with Garrett Downing.

And we are going to break down and give our initial reaction to the Ravens

first round selection of Georgia safety Malachi Stark's, the newest Raven and really excited

about this pick. I love it for a number of reasons

that we're going to dive into, Garrett. But first of all, I got to take my victory lap. And I got to

say, Garrett, it's not a victory lap. This is going to be a victory marathon. Okay? Because

Malachi Starks was my mock draft pick and I just want to turn back the dial

here and go back in history, Garrett.

Not only was he my final pick, he was my

original pick. Because on February

13th, Garrett, we had the receipts.

I got the receipts. February 13th

I said, I'm planning my flag

on Malachi Starks as my guy. And this year,

I didn't get in my own head. I didn't minker with the pick. Stucked to my guns. Malachi

Starks was consistent. You tried to throw shade the whole way through. Tell me I didn't know how

I was talking about. I was trying to cast out you were

casting a lot of doubt I stuck with it malachi starts the pick feels good garrett I'm not going to lie well I

give you credit you did a key in on starks early in the process and and look I liked malachi

stark as well I just couldn't take the same guy so that's why I went a different I would have

here we go I would have I liked him too I just well. I just couldn't take the same guy. So that's why I went at a different. I would have. Here we go. I would have. I liked him too. I just, you planned for first. I was like, all right, I don't want to take the same guy. I planned what? That's why you pledged your flag. You claimed him. You called dibs. So I just let you have them. But, but in all honesty, I think that this is like, it's a really good pick for this team. And like the reason you, you were not by any means on an island on the Malachi Stark's connection to the Ravens.
