Mark Andrews NFL Draft 2018: Scouting Report for Baltimore Ravens' Pick

POSITIVES

—Natural pass-catching tight end who dominates in the red zone.

—Was utilized often as a downfield threat, and excels at getting loose behind coverage.

—Quick but not straight-line fast and uses his body to create separation.

—Understands leverage and spacing and knows how to change up his speed to get open.

—Boxes out smaller defensive backs but will post up against bigger players.

NEGATIVES

—Doesn't stand up athletically against the top tight ends in the class.

—Doesn't show up on film as a blocker and appears uninterested in the run game.

—Can lose battles against physical defenders and looks to stay out of traffic.

—Can be timid going after the football on passes that would lead him into hits.
