Ravens Pick Jimmy Smith in First Round

The Baltimore Ravens have decided to fix their problems at the cornerback position by taking Jimmy Smith as their first round pick in the 2011 NFL draft. If you remember the playoff game versus the Pittsburgh Steelers last year, you’ll understand why. If Webb didn’t get burned deep on a pass late in the game, the Ravens would have played an AFC championship game in Baltimore.

I am very satisfied with this first round pick for the Ravens. Let’s just hope that Jimmy Smith lives up to his potential as a shutdown cornerback.

Ravens 2011 NFL Mock Draft

Most of 2011 NFL mock drafts that I have seen have the Ravens picking either Jimmy Smith from Colorado or Cameron Heyward from Ohio State in the first round. Jimmy Smith is a talented cornerback but may have some personal issues. Cameron Heyward is a top prospect at the DE/DT position.

With Chris Carr, Josh Wilson and Fabian Washington, all being free agents this off season, taking Jimmy Smith in the first round might be a good move for the Ravens. Another top NFL draft prospect the Ravens might be looking at strongly is OT Derrick Sherrod.
