00:00And the 27th overall pick, Baltimore Ravens on the clock no longer.

00:04The pick is in for the flock.

00:07And at 27th overall, it's the Georgia defensive back in Malachi Starks.

00:12He makes his way to the Charm City to be there with the Baltimore Ravens.

00:17So yet another Georgia defender, Joe, goes in an opening round of a 2025 NFL draft.

00:23Malachi Starks drafted 27th overall by Baltimore.

00:27What can he add to that Ravens secondary immediately?

00:30With Kyle Hamilton, right, struggling with injuries, Malachi Starks is going to be that safety

00:35that is just a ball wrecker, always around the football.

00:38And the biggest thing comes up in run support, 75 tackles you saw on the screen.

00:42He's not afraid to hit.

00:43That's what you want to see in terms of setting a precedence and a physicality over the middle

00:48to allow and force wide receivers to work for everything.

00:53That's what he brings to the table.

00:54It can be utilized in multiple looks.

00:56And that's what I think John Harbaugh wants for that defense.

00:59Kyle Hamilton was supposed to be that guy.

01:01But again, battling injuries.

01:03Now you solidify the secondary with Malachi Starks.

01:06Yeah, quickly back to you.

01:08Malachi Starks, was he a favorite with a minus money price to be a first-round pick tonight?

01:12He absolutely was.

01:14Malachi Starks, I think, was also supposed to be the first of that.

01:18It wasn't a market, but first of the safeties.

01:20Yeah.

01:20South Carolina, I'm just going to let you handle the pronunciation, was the other player we

01:25were tracking in this market.

01:27Certainly still could be room for here with, you know, some picks left on the board.

01:31But Starks, the first from that bunch.

01:32Pick Eman Worry is the guy you are referencing for that Gamecock secondary.

01:37Also a pretty hefty and strong price to be a first-round pick tonight.

01:41The first safety off the board, the Baltimore Ravens.

01:45The 27th overall, Malachi Starks out of Georgia.
