Since the Baltimore Ravens are unofficially on the clock, I might as well get the envelope up to Tagliabue so that we can keep this draft rolling!
With the 13th pick in the 2006 Nfl Draft, the Baltimore Ravens select Jimmy Williams CB Virginia Tech.
This pick was not so much about needs , but about selecting the best player available. DT and OT were major needs for the Ravens but with Bunkley and Justice gone, we had to go with the highest rated player left on our board. At Six two and three eights inches tall, and 213 pounds running a 4.41 40 Williams gives us an electrifying shut down corner, with excellent coverage and return skills. We had him as the #1 rated CB on the board and we are just happy that he fell into our laps with the 13th pick. He will make an excellent addition to our secondary teamed up with Chris McCallister at the other CB and Ed Reed at S. We will be able to go with alot more man to man coverage then we have been able to go with in the past. I was thinking about trading down and trying to acquire Steve McNair with my 1st round pick, but with his salary and his health I didnt think that it was a risk worth taking.
