Welcome into Lounge, presented by Draft Kings.

I'm Ryan Mink here with Garrett Downing, and we are just inside a month until the NFL draft.

So today we're going to talk about some of our favorite prospects in this year's class.

We haven't yet put pen to paper in terms of our seven-round mock draft,

which we will keep working on that. Yeah. I got to keep minkering. We got some pencil.

We have some players in pencil. My first round pick might be in pen. But today we're just,

you know, this is when you start to pick out guys that you like. You watch the tape. you break it all down, you hear from the pundits, the analysts, and you start to get some favorites. So that's what we're going to talk about today. And Garrett, let's start with the first round. And I'll let you kick it off. Well, I'll start with one who's the most popular mock draft projection, and I think that both of us are really high on him and this is what you I think were alluding to when you were talking about guys in pencil

to get the best offense alignment at pick number 14 at a position At a position of need. At a big position of need.

Wouldn't that be a home run?

And that is something I think the Ravens...

Iona is going right in that range.

Like, he's...

He's right, I think, probably in that 12 to 20 range.

And so I think that there's a decent shot that he's on the

board for the Ravens. And I think that he's a player that gives you a really high floor. I just have

a hard time seeing him coming to the NFL and not be a good starter as a baseline. And then how

high he goes from there is the question. But I think for all those reasons, it just feels like he's a player that's easy to like, easy to root for, and you think you could come in and patch an immediate hole and do it at a super high level. Yeah, I really like him. I love the physicality that he plays the game with. I think he'd be a tone setter on the Ravens' offensive line. And that's what I think that
