ESPN Mock Links Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq to Ravens in First Round

The projection spotlights Baltimore's search for tight end depth following Isaiah Likely's free-agency exit.

Overview

  • ESPN analyst Peter Schrager projects Baltimore to draft Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq in the first round, framing it as a fit for a pass-catching role in Todd Monken’s offense.
  • Coverage of the same mock lists different slots for the pick, with Heavy citing No. 23 and The Sporting News listing No. 14, showing that the placement remains unsettled.
  • Schrager notes Mark Andrews is now in his 30s and that Baltimore prefers multiple impact tight ends after Isaiah Likely left for the Giants on a reported three-year, $40 million deal.
  • Sadiq’s stock rose after elite combine testing, including a 4.39-second 40-yard dash, a 43.5-inch vertical jump, and an 11-foot-1 broad jump at 6-foot-3 and 245 pounds.
  • He was the Big Ten Tight End of the Year in 2025 with 51 catches, and analyst Lance Zierlein compares his versatile, after-the-catch game to Cardinals Pro Bowler Trey McBride.
