NFL Draft Report Card: Grading Baltimore Ravens 1st round picks

Baltimore Ravens. HAYDEN HURST. B -. I don’t think Hurst was the greatest value pick. I don’t even think he was the best tight end on the board. At the end of the day, I just think he’s a good player and after trading back twice, it is a nice piece to the offense. The Ravens had their eyes set on Hurst the whole way. They had a pre-draft visit with them, and their interest in him wasn’t a secret. I think Hurst will give the Ravens production so it’s hard to knock the pick too much. This isn’t the best pick Ozzie Newsome has ever made, but it isn’t going to be a bust. Hurst is going to be a go to weapon for the offense. Other than Michael Crabtree, he is the best play-maker the Ravens have. A slight reach knocks it down to a B- but the Ravens grabbing the number two tight end in the draft is nothing to complain about at the end of the day.. TE
