00:00If you did swing, Derrick Henry wouldn't cost you much.

00:03If Baltimore thinks they're out of it,

00:06and Derrick Henry is not long for that team or the league or whatever,

00:09it's not going to cost you much.

00:10It's going to be a fifth-round pick for Derrick Henry.

00:13Brown would be different.

00:15That would be, but again, these are draft pick considerations.

00:18If you added a piece like that, oh, my God,

00:20you think the hype train's bad right now?

00:22Just wait.

00:23No, then people will start talking about winning the AFC.

00:26Yes, yes, sir.

00:27Right?

00:27That's what that will be.

00:28I don't think they need a receiver, frankly.

00:30No, I feel like they're okay.

00:32They have enough guys to catch the ball.

00:34You've been saying that since August, Mass.

00:35And I think you're right.

00:36And I think that those deep ball numbers kind of prove it.

00:40Like, they don't ever take a top off the defense guy.

00:42They've tried to get it to that rookie.

00:44They haven't been close.

00:46Kyle Williams.

00:47Kyle Williams, sorry.

00:49They've been trying to get to Kyle Williams.

00:50Not close.

00:52Steph Diggs is probably 85% of what he was in his prime, in his peak.

00:58Certainly not a downfield threat much anymore.

01:01And Drake May has the best deep ball numbers in the league.

01:04Yeah, I've always felt this way.

01:06I think that take the top off the defense, deep threat guy's always been overrated.

01:11It helps.

01:12If you have it, great.

01:13I'm not telling you it's useless.

01:14Plus, I'm just saying overrated.

01:16Yeah, to me, it's about reliable options.

01:19Like, who can you throw to that will catch it?

01:22And as long as you have inside, outside, a tight end or a back or both, you should be okay.

01:27I felt this way about the Philadelphia team that they played in the Super Bowl that year,

01:32that they just had a lot of guys they could throw to that made them hard to defend.

01:36And Alshon Jeffrey was probably the best of the lot, but I'm not sure he was at the peak

01:39of his career at that time.

01:41But that made them hard.

01:42And then you add in Ertz.

01:43Nelson Aguilar?

01:44Right.

01:45And Clement.

01:46And like you had all these guys where they are willing to go with the ball.

01:50It's hard to double.

01:51It's hard to take any one guy out.

01:53And if the quarterback can figure it out, then you're in good shape.

01:57To me, that's sort of what they have right now.

02:00So I'd rather have a back.

02:01I think they're going to need a back.

02:03And they could probably use a linebacker on defense.

02:06My two cents.

02:07That's assuming Gonzalez stays healthy.

02:08But to me, the running backs, they're thin at running back.

02:12Really thin.

02:13Okay.

02:14And those are available.

02:15They're always available.

02:17And there might even be a name that gets you excited.

02:19So it's changed.

02:23The landscape has changed.

02:25Not just your expectation of the team, but what they're capable of

02:27and what this season can be.

02:28And I think they know it, too.
