The Baltimore Ravens drafted Jimmy Smith, the cornerback out of Colorado, in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft. A minor curiosity is that this is one of the rare instances in which a team has had their original pick skipped over because they went over their allotted time. The Ravens were trying to make a trade to go back a few picks, but everything wasn’t submitted in time, so the team behind them was able to make their selection before they were put back on the board.
That’s not really relevant to the discussion at hand, except, perhaps, to say that the Ravens were willing to risk losing out on him in 2011, and they are willing to do so again in 2020, allowing the nine-year veteran to test unrestricted free agency for the first time in his career.
