Former NFL GM Phil Savage Previews The First Round Of The NFL Draft

Phil Savage is a former front office member of the Ravens and Browns who is currently a color commentator for Alabama football and works for the Senior Bowl.

Phil joined Ed and Steve to talk about what will happen in the first round of the NFL draft, in particular what will happen with the Ravens at the number six overall selection.

Phil started off by talking about if the Ravens have their choice of Jalen Ramsey, Joey Bosa, and Laremy Tunsil who they would take saying "I think the Ravens have Jalen Ramsey on the top of that list from the help that they need in the defensive secondary...I think Tunsil or Ramsey goes to San Diego at #3, I think the Cowboys will take Bosa." As for who he thinks the Ravens will actually get at #6 Phil said "I think Ozzie would take Tunsil if he's there at six...if not I think he'll take one of those defensive line guys."

As for Joey Bosa and what he could bring to the Ravens Phil said "it's a bit of a square peg in a round hole situation...he plays hard, but the Ravens will have to modify what they do slightly to accommodate him." As for why Bosa doesn't fit the Ravens defense Phil said "to me he's a end in a 4-3 defense...if they take him it's a misfit in their scheme."

Phil also talked in depth about Laremy Tunsil's ability on the field and problems off the field, and broke down Jalen Ramsey though he doesn't believe Ramsey will make it to the Ravens at #6.
