The Baltimore Ravens are urged to draft this top pass catcher to boost the offense for the upcoming season.

A lot has happened in the past week for the Baltimore Ravens.

It's been a whirlwind for the organization, from losing 10 key players in free agency to trading for All-Pro Maxx Crosby and having the trade rescinded to signing Trey Hendrickson.

The Ravens have had a tough offseason thus far, but that could all change in next month's draft. 

Baltimore got their 14th overall pick back once they backed out of the Crosby trade. 

The Ravens could go a multitude of ways with their top draft choice, as they will have options to choose from. One of Baltimore's biggest needs is upgrading the pass-catching department, and they could certainly do that in the draft. 

One of the elite options they could choose from is Oregon All-American tight end Kenyon Sadiq. 

NFL draft scout Matt Miller recently urged the Ravens to draft Sadiq to help bolster the Ravens' offense. 

"Lets give Lamar Jackson some help," Miller said. "... [Kenyon Sadiq] can be that redzone threat that the Ravens really used Isaiah Likely as the last two years."

Sadiq is projected to be a top pick in April's draft and someone the Ravens could have their eye on with the No. 14 overall pick. 

He has all the tools to be an elite tight end. Considering the Ravens lost two of their tight ends, Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar, Sadiq could fit right in and be an impactful player from the jump. 

Sadiq ended his collegiate career with 892 yards and 11 touchdowns. His most successful season with Oregon was in 2025, where he brought down 560 yards and eight touchdowns.

NFL draft analyst Lance Zierlein compared Sadiq to Arizona Cardinals All-Pro tight end, Trey McBride. 

"A versatile tight end with a shredded physique and alluring potential as a volume target, Sadiq’s route tree will be full of branches. His athleticism and break quickness should allow him to uncover against man coverage on all three levels. He’s talented after the catch, with the ability to make things easier for play-callers and quarterbacks looking to move the sticks.

"He has the body control and hand strength to win contested catches but will occasionally allow balls to hit the ground on lower-difficulty plays. He’s adequate as a blocker, giving good effort in-line and locating and landing on linebackers as a move blocker. Teams looking to diversify their passing game options with a talented pass-catching tight end could make Sadiq a priority."

If Baltimore decides to select Sadiq, it could immediately bolster the offense and give Lamar Jackson the additional weapon he needs to help turn the Ravens back into a juggernaut.
