BALTIMORE, Maryland --The Ravens waited to draft a cornerback until the fourth round, but they got one with plenty of upside.
Baltimore drafted Tray Walker out of small-school Texas Southern with their third pick in the fourth round (No. 136 overall). He’s the sixth player Baltimore drafted in 2015.
“I’m really overwhelmed right now. I’m stunned,” Walker said. “I really can’t think right now.”
Pundits didn’t project Walker going so high, listing him as a sixth- or seventh-round pick. But Ravens Assistant General Manager Eric DeCosta indicated Friday night that Baltimore had their eyes on some sleepers.
The Ravens took a chance with small-school Nicholls State cornerback Lardarius Webb in 2009 and it worked out. They’ll hope for the same result from Walker. On paper, they’re two very different players, however.
Walker said Ravens Cornerbacks Coach Matt Weiss came to his personal workout.
