Round 3, Pick 70 - Baltimore Ravens - Ed Dickson

Ed Dickson, TE, Oregon

Ht: 6’ 4 ¼” Wt: 249

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  Dickson is a fine tight end prospect who's a better blocker than most at the position in this class.  Though he lacks top end speed, he has excellent hands and could develop into a starting tight end after Todd Heap retires.  

Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Is best split wide working against air and could become a pass-catching weapon detached from the line if he can assimilate to a pro-style offense. The ability to grasp a more complex, demanding playbook will define his career.

NFL projection: Second- to third-round pick.

Lindy’s Sports scouting report:  Dickson leaves as Oregon’s all-time receiving leader at the position with 124 catches for 1,557 yards and 12 scores.  He won’t provide his future NFL team with much as a blocker, but should fit right in with the new emphasis clubs are placing on matchup nightmares who can stretch defenses down the seam.
