Ravens wrap up their draft with an experienced CB in Virginia's Maurice Canady

With the No. 209 pick, the Baltimore Ravens select 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, starting 33 of 44 games. He has good size (6 feet 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.
