With the No. 209 pick, the Baltimore Ravens selected Virginia cornerback Maurice Canady. This was a sixth-round compensatory pick.
My take: It's a smart move for the Ravens to address the thinnest position on the team. Canady is an experienced three-year defender who started 33 of 44 games. He has good size (6-foot-1) and fluidity. The Ravens only had five corners before drafting Temple's Tavon Young in the fourth round and Canady in the sixth round.
Canady has been an inconsistent playmaker. He forced 10 turnovers in his career, but he didn't make an interception last season. Pro Football Focus graded him as the 122nd corner out of 142 in his class. Over the last two seasons, he allowed 10 touchdowns and intercepted three passes.
Many thought the Ravens would either take an inside linebacker or a quarterback with their 11th and final pick of the draft. Baltimore still hasn't filled the void left after cutting Daryl Smith, and the Ravens currently only have two healthy quarterbacks on the roster (Ryan Mallett and Jerrod Johnson).
