Ravens Trade Up for Tight End Matthew Hibner

0:00On April 25th, the Baltimore Ravens couldn't sit tight with their 154th pick in the fourth round, so they traded up 21. Spost the snag tied in Matthew Hivner from SMU. They dealt that original pick plus a 2027 sixth rounder to the San Francisco 49ers to jump to the 133rd spot. On Saturday, this move fills a gap at tied end after the Ravens let Isaiah likely and Charlie Kohler walk in the offseason. They've still got Mark Andrews anchoring the position and just added Durham's mithe, but they want a more depth right now. Hivner's story adds some intrigue. He's spent four seasons at Michigan with just two catches total, mostly grinding on special teams for the Wolverines. Fans might wonder why the hype, but the Ravens saw potential. Then he transferred to SMU and turned into a legit pass catcher, proving he could handle the ball in the air. That breakout performance convinced Baltimore he wouldn't last to their original spot. Now the Ravens deep in their tight end room with a guy ready to contribute, setting up Andrews for another strong run while Hivner battles for snaps.
