Instant Fantasy Analysis - TE Hayden Hurst, Ravens

[The Football Guru 210]

Hurst will be 25 years old when the season starts, but it's hard to fault Baltimore for taking the draft's most well-rounded tight end. The South Carolina product is pretty much everything a position coach could hope for from a prospect in the current spread-happy offensive world of college football and, as such, the most NFL-ready tight end available. Hurst has a certain fluidity to his route-running, quick out of his release and can make an out cut better than some of the Day 1 and Day 2 receivers that I have evaluated. As is the case with most rookie tight ends, Hurst isn't going to be worth drafting in most redraft formats, although Baltimore has a history of keeping the position involved in its offense, so he could be worth a bye-week look. In rookie drafts, he will probably go somewhere in the middle of the second round.
