The Baltimore Ravens lost a key contributor at the tight end position over the offseason, as Isaiah Likely landed with the New York Giants in free agency.
The Ravens still have veteran tight end Mark Andrews, but they’ll need some added depth at the position.
Ravens land Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq in first round of ESPN mock draft
Baltimore addresses that very issue in the first round of the latest 2026 NFL mock draft from ESPN’s Peter Schrager.
In his mock, Schrager sees the Ravens selecting Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq with the No. 14 overall pick in the draft. Sadiq is the first TE off of the board in this specific mock draft, which tracks as he's considered by many as the best prospect at his position in the draft.
“What better way to show Lamar Jackson and Ravens fans that the Baltimore offense isn't going anywhere without offensive coordinator Todd Monken or former TE2 Isaiah Likely than by drafting a supreme talent like Sadiq? One of the stars of the combine, Sadiq ran a 4.39-second 40-yard dash, the fastest time for a tight end since at least 2003," Schrager wrote.
"He also caught 51 passes last season, the most ever by an Oregon tight end. Mark Andrews is back in Baltimore, but he's now in his 30s, and this offense likes having multiple impact players at the position.”
With Andrews still in place, it seems somewhat unlikely that the Ravens will use their lone first round pick on a tight end, but you never know.
Other major positions of need in the draft for Baltimore include offensive linemen, edge rusher and wide receiver, among others.
