With the 25th pick in the NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens selected South Carolina tight end Hayden Hurst.
Fantasy Impact:
After trading back twice, it seemed all but certain that the Ravens would be taking a wide receiver here, though tight end was one of their biggest needs coming in. Hurst is the most pro-ready tight end in the draft and will walk in as the starter immediately. After signing Michael Crabtree, John Brown, and Willie Snead, the Ravens have surrounded Joe Flacco with some solid options. It's clear that this is make-or-break time for Flacco. While some have wondered about Hurst's age (he'll be 25 when the season starts), most tight ends aren't a movable chess piece or athletic as he is. Knowing how often Flacco targets tight ends, Hurst could have top-10 upside in his rookie season, though you'll be best-suited if he's the No. 2 tight end on your team with some upside.
