After trading back twice in the first round, the Ravens finally made a selection. Baltimore took Hayden Hurst, a tight end out of South Carolina.
Hurst rose up draft boards during the pre-draft process, and was regarded by many to be the top tight end in the draft. Hurst is an excellent pass catching tight end, that is more than willing to block in the run game. Hurst has drawn comparisons to Travis Kelce.
Coming into the offseason, the Ravens’ biggest need was wide receiver. Though through free agency, the Ravens found a solution.
