With the 2011 NFL Draft occurring over the next three days, the Baltimore Ravens and 98Rock have made plans to celebrate all weekend long.

Ravens Cheerleaders and team mascot Poe will also be in attendance, giving away free gifts to celebrate the draft weekend.
Then on Friday, Stash will once again broadcast live from 4 p.m.-midnight at JD's Smokehouse in Canton, continuing to produce Ravens coverage of the draft's second and third rounds. Ravens Cheerleaders and Poe will again be on location to provide prize giveaways for fans in attendance.
