CB Jimmy Smith

The Ravens found a lock-down cornerback late in the first round of the 2011 draft in Jimmy Smith. Douglas had become a high-ranking scout by this point in his Ravens tenure and Smith ended up being one of the best cornerback prospects Baltimore drafted considering he’s played there for the past nine seasons.

Douglas doesn’t get all the credit for Smith, but he was with the team who saw enough in Smith to draft him late in the first round despite all of the concerns over his off-the-field behavior and then were able to coach him well enough to become a top-flight cornerback for years to come.
