The Baltimore Ravens are continuing to do their due diligence on draft prospects ahead of April’s annual selection meeting. They got off to a hot start to their week on Monday when they hosted University of South Carolina cornerback Cam Smith for a visit in a move that could indicate their interest to add talent to their secondary in the early to middle rounds.
Most of the Ravens talk on Monday was centered around Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and the massive extension he inked while Lamar Jackson remains unsigned. However, the news of Smith’s visit to the Charm City may prove to be more important in the short-term as the draft draws ever closer, as the team has plenty of holes to fill in the back-end of their defense.

Smith is a seasoned corner with ball skills that could help any secondary early in his NFL career. He came down with six interceptions during his time in Columbia, South Carolina, and made All-SEC teams in the 2021 and 2022 seasons before declaring for the draft this year.
Watch for Smith to be a name that many talking heads link to the Ravens throughout the draft and for his name to be called somewhere between the second and fourth rounds.
