Overview
- ESPN’s Matt Miller projects Baltimore to draft Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq at No. 14 as a response to Isaiah Likely’s exit and Mark Andrews’ age-31 season.
- Sadiq boosted his stock at the NFL Scouting Combine with a 4.39-second 40-yard dash, a 43.5-inch vertical, and an 11-foot-1 broad jump, which is rare for the position.
- Evaluators praising his upside highlight eight touchdowns in 2025 and compare him to Cardinals Pro Bowler Trey McBride for route running and after‑catch skill.
- Skeptics cite efficiency flags that include a 1.88 yards‑per‑route‑run in 2025, a No. 21 Pro Football Focus receiving rank out of 45 tight ends, and a 5.1 yards‑after‑catch average.
- Team context keeps the pick in play but not certain because the Ravens also need help at interior offensive line and receiver under new defensive‑minded coach Jesse Minter.
