00:00 Let's go to this next guy here.

00:04 He emerged for his team.

00:06 It puts questions around a lot of things.

00:08 I'll let you start.

00:10 Isaiah likely has a really impressive second half when Mark Andrews went down, he kind

00:16 of stepped into that void.

00:18 I watched Isaiah likely and even though we're glimpses of it last year too, where this player

00:22 really I think is special.

00:23 This is a guy that I think is going to fly up draft boards overall as we get closer.

00:28 Now what's hindering that value of likely is the uncertainty with Mark Andrews.

00:33 Mark Andrews is a wonderful player, but Mark Andrews is also a player that's expensive.

00:38 And I think when you're looking at a roster and the salary cap of the Baltimore Ravens,

00:42 it would not shock me if he was a cap casualty, because if I was looking at this roster, I

00:48 would say to myself, can we get by with Isaiah likely a tight end?

00:51 He's younger, he's healthier.

00:53 He was really good down the stretch.

00:55 Lamar seems to have a good rapport with him.

00:56 He seems to trust him in big spots.

00:59 Mark Andrews could bring back draft picks.

01:01 Mark Andrews can bring the salary relief.

01:03 Mark Andrews might be more valuable somewhere else than on your actual roster.

01:07 If you're the Baltimore Ravens, not because he's not a great player, but it allows you

01:11 to spend that money elsewhere.

01:13 Continue to beef up that offensive line, continue to do things that you might want to do, or

01:17 maybe get Lamar even more weapons at wide receiver because if flowers was good, but

01:20 Odell Beckham I think was just a bandaid on a bigger hole there.

01:23 You need another wide receiver in this offense.

01:25 So Isaiah likely is a player right now is a perfect buy because again, there's uncertainty

01:31 in the marketplace, but I think it would be really silly for us not to look at Isaiah

01:36 likely his future in the next two to three years being brighter than Mark Andrews.

01:39 And once again, like pits, this might cost you very little to find out.

01:43 I'd love to be buying low on Isaiah likely right now at the Baltimore Ravens.
