“We’ve admired the Steelers, even though it’s probably hard for me to say that," Ravens assistant general manager Eric DeCosta said in an interview last week.

Through April 25, the day before the start of the three-day NFL draft, The Baltimore Sun will break down what the Ravens have at each position, the chance that they will add to it and what prospects could possibly be targeted with those picks. Today we’ll look at tight ends.
