Day Two - Round Four

PrintWell, perhaps the Ravens do know more than they're letting on. It appears that they have just traded a late fourth round pick to the Oakland Raiders for CB Fabian Washington, a former first round selection of the Raiders in 2005. Washington had four interceptions in 2006 but only one last year, in addition to 40 tackles. He'll probably step in immediately as nickle back and perhaps even take over for Samari Rolle in the event of injury or lack of performance.
The Ravens first fourth round selection was Marcus Smith, WR from New Mexico. According to the ESPN experts, he is a former running back with blazing speed and should be on special teams and have a shot at the slot receiver sets that the Ravens run.
With their final pick in the fourth round, the Ravens took OT David Hale from Weber State. Hale is a huge man, standing over 6'5" and weighing in at 314 pounds. If he's teach-able, he could be a good addition to the line as a reserve or who knows?

Like the trade, if true
Marcus Smith was a great pick. I really like this kid. Very explosive. He could be a surprise this season.

Marcus Smith
He could end up being our biggest contributor, if they use him for returning kicks and special teams. He might even get in for a few plays, as you might remember that we lost Devard Darling to free agency (Chiefs).
Great Trade
Most 4th round picks this year will not be nearly as good as Fabian Washington, who is still very young and could have a future as a shutdown corner on this offense. The Raiders were dumb for trading for D'Angelo Hall, and now we get to reap the benefits.

Totally agree...
...with your comments regarding Washington. Still young, he could fill in and even replace Rolle and gives us more depth than we could have gotten this late in the draft.
