Eric DeCosta hints Ravens could draft two tight ends on Day 3

Ravens Expect Tight End Addition After Late Run at Position

Tight end went quickly, and Eric DeCosta didn't hide it — but he also didn't sound concerned about missing out on the first wave. Even without forcing it early, Baltimore still expects to come out of this draft with more offensive flexibility.

“Yes, they come in all different shapes and sizes. You have your guys that can move a little bit, your H-back types. You have your ‘Y’ [tight ends], and you have your ‘F’ [tight ends]. We are fortunate we have two tight ends on the roster right now that we feel really good about. I definitely would expect us to probably draft a tight end tomorrow at some point. With eight picks, you’d think that we’ll have a chance to at least add one or two guys. There certainly was a run today. It's a blessing and a curse when you're at pick No. 45, and you don't pick again till No. 80. You get a guy that you have at No. 45, and you have him as a first-round type of player, and then you see all these tight ends get picked between No. 45 and No. 80, so it's challenging. But I think we did get a playmaker on offense in Ja’Kobi [Lane] that we're really, really excited about who brings something different to the table. And I think our challenge tomorrow will be our ability to go after other players that we think bring something unique to the table for us.”

With multiple picks remaining, Eric DeCosta made it clear that adding versatility at tight end is a priority heading into Day 3. The Baltimore Ravens value players who can fill different roles — from traditional in-line blockers to move pieces — and the depth of the class still offers options to find those unique skill sets. After missing out during a Day 2 run, Baltimore now appears poised to be aggressive in reshaping the position group with fresh talent.
