The Ravens drafted Delaware tight end Nick Boyle with the 35th pick in the fifth round, perhaps trying to snag a sleeper offensive standout from the FCS ranks.

Boyle is a really intriguing prospect. He's huge (around 6'4", 270 lbs.), but not particularly fast (5.00 40-yard dash at the Combine). With those sorts of measurables, you'd expect him to be a blocker, but he excelled as a receiving tight end at Delaware, earning first-team Colonial Athletic Association honors in 2014 and leading all CAA tight ends with 42 receptions in 2013. If Boyle can improve his blocking, the Ravens might have found a gem in the late rounds here.
