It is pretty much obvious that the cornerback position was the highest priority for the Baltimore Ravens going into the 2011 NFL draft. Many NFL draft analysts had the Ravens picking Jimmy Smith in the first round in their mock drafts. Ozzie Newsome, the General Manager of the Ravens, confirmed in a press conference this week that if Smith was not availble he would have drafted another cornerback.

Some of the other cornerbacks that Ravens were eyeballing if Jimmy smith was not availble were Aaron Williams and Ras-I Dowling. Therse two cornerbacks ended up getting drafted in the early 2nd round.
