Ravens Pick Tom Zbikowski 86th Overall

The 3rd Notre Dame player was drafted early Sunday when the Baltimore Ravens used a 3rd round pick on former Irish safety Tom Zbikowski.

Baltimore is fairly set at safety with Ed Reed and Dawan Landry, but Zibby will be able to make an immediate impact as a special teams player and punt returner for the Ravens. 

Being selected in the 3rd round is about as good as Zibby could have hoped for coming into the weekend.  In any other year, a 3rd round pick would be a first day pick, but because of the format change in this year’s draft, the 3rd round was early Sunday.
