One of the biggest surprises from the Ravens’ draft was their decision to double-dip at the tight end position. Many anticipated them selecting a tight end on Day 3 of the draft to add a pass-catching element behind Mark Andrews and Nick Boyle on the depth chart.
They did this with the No. 128 pick in the fourth round, which they used to draft Charlie Kolar out of Iowa State. Then, only 11 picks later, they took Isaiah Likely out of Costal Carolina. NBC Sports’ Peter King has since reported that the Ravens sought to draft Memphis WR Calvin Austin III at that spot but pivoted to Likely after the Pittsburgh Steelers snagged Austin off the board just one pick before.
