LIVE FROM THE UNDER ARMOR PERFORMANCE CENTER. YOU KNOW YOU’RE A BIG DEAL. ONE OF THE VERY FIRST DAY OF WORK AND YOUR VERY FIRST JOB OUT OF COLLEGE. YOU WALK IN AND THAT’S WHAT GREETS YOU. 30 FOOT WALL. WELCOME SIGN FOR NEW RAVEN ZAY FLOWERS. THIS YEAR’S FIRST ROUND DRAFT PICK OUT OF BOSTON COLLEGE. HE’S AN IMPRESSIVE YOUNG MAN. HE HAS OBVIOUS CONFIDENCE. HE HAS BIG PLAYMAKER ABILITY. AND THE RAVENS HOPE THAT HE IS A MAGICAL CONNECTION IN THE YEARS TO COME WITH LAMAR JACKSON AS THIS OFFENSE STARTS TO REALLY SPREAD OUT IN TERMS OF ITS POTENTIAL RAVENS DID NOT HESITATE TO SELECT ZAY FLOWERS. THEY HAD HIM AS THEIR TOP RECEIVER ON THE DRAFT BOARD. IT’S NOT TALL. LISTED AT 510. THAT MIGHT BE A STRETCH, BUT HE’S CLEARLY STRONG AND EXPLOSIVE. LIKE LAMAR JACKSON, ZAY FLOWERS GREW UP IN SOUTH FLORIDA, AND HE FEELS THAT GIVES HIM A CONNECTION THAT WILL BE ELECTRIC WITH LAMAR IN THE NFL. BECAUSE I KNOW LAMAR, HE WANT TO MAKE A BIG PLAY EVERY PLAY. AND I THINK THE SAME WAY I’M TRYING TO GO MAKE A BIG PLAY EVERY TIME I TOUCH THE BALL. SO I THINK IT’S GOING TO BE EXPLOSIVE. I KNOW LAMAR IS GOING TO BE EXCITED WHEN HE GETS HERE AND THEN WHEN HE SEES THIS GUY AND ODELL WALKS IN THE ROOM, YOU ALREADY GOT NELSON HERE AND JAMES IS ALREADY WORKING AND DEV’S ALREADY WORKING. IT’S JUST GOING TO BE IT’S GOING TO BE A LOT OF FUN. THE RAVENS DO NOT HAVE A PICK IN THE SECOND ROUND OF TONIGHT’S DRAFT. TONIGHT’S ROUNDS, TWO AND THREE. AND THE RAVENS WILL ONLY HAVE A PICK IN ROUND THREE. THAT’S BECAUSE THEY TRADED THEIR SECOND ROUND PICK LAST YEAR TO PICK UP ROQUAN SMITH. SO AS WE LOOK AT THE REST OF THE PICKS THE RAVENS HAVE IN THIS DRAFT, THEY ONLY HAVE FOUR REMAINING PICKS. ONE PICK EACH IN ROUNDS, THREE, FOUR, FIVE AND SIX. THIS WILL BE IF THEY DON’T TRADE AND ACQUIRE ANY, THIS WILL BE
