The Baltimore Ravens are once again looking to add to their tight end group, with two of their current tight ends - Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar - set to hit free agency. The Ravens have a history of drafting multiple tight ends in the same class, doing so four times previously. As they head to the NFL Combine, the Ravens could be eyeing several top tight end prospects, including Kenyon Sadiq, Max Klare, Eli Stowers, Jack Endries, and Michael Trigg.

Why it matters

Tight end has been a position of strength for the Ravens in recent years, with Mark Andrews emerging as one of the league's top players at the position. However, with potential free agent departures, the Ravens may need to restock the position through the draft to maintain their offensive firepower.

The details

The Ravens have drafted two tight ends in the same class four times in franchise history - in 2022 (Kolar and Likely), 2018 (Hurst and Andrews), 2015 (Williams and Boyle), and 2010 (Dickson and Pitta). This year, the team could be looking to add another dynamic pass-catching tight end to complement Andrews, or a more traditional in-line blocking tight end to replace the potential loss of Kolar or Likely.

  • The Ravens drafted two tight ends in the 2022 NFL Draft (Kolar and Likely).
  • The Ravens last drafted only one tight end in a class in 2014 (Crockett Gillmore).

The players

Mark Andrews

The Ravens' franchise leader in receptions and receiving touchdowns, Andrews has evolved into a do-it-all tight end over his eight seasons with the team.

Isaiah Likely

A versatile weapon, Likely was one of the Ravens' top playmakers the past couple of seasons with acrobatic grabs and yards after catch.

Charlie Kolar

Kolar evolved into a primary in-line blocking tight end who caught teams by surprise as a reliable receiver.

Kenyon Sadiq

Regarded as the top tight end prospect in this year's draft class, Sadiq is a hybrid wide receiver/tight end who is also a strong blocker.

Eric DeCosta

The Ravens' General Manager, DeCosta spoke with Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely about contract extensions and ultimately signed a deal with Andrews.

What they’re saying

“We expect him to get back to himself and be the player that he can be. He still has a lot in the tank, and we think he's going to be a playmaker for us this year, and we're glad we got the deal done.”

— Eric DeCosta, General Manager

What’s next

The Ravens will be closely evaluating the top tight end prospects at the NFL Combine as they look to potentially add to their tight end group through the draft.

The takeaway

The Ravens' history of drafting multiple tight ends in the same class shows their commitment to maintaining depth and talent at the position. As they head into the 2023 NFL Draft, the team will be looking to potentially add another dynamic playmaker to complement Mark Andrews and provide insurance in case Isaiah Likely or Charlie Kolar depart in free agency.
