Ravens Trade Up for Tight End Matthew Hibner

The Baltimore Ravens have selected SMU tight end prospect Matthew Hibner with the 133rd overall pick in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. The Ravens traded up to acquire this selection from the 49ers in exchange for the 154th overall pick and a 2027 sixth-rounder. Hibner was a late bloomer in college football. After catching just two passes across three seasons with Michigan, he transferred to SMU, where he totaled 55 catches, 804 yards, and eight touchdowns over two years (27 games). Hibner offers the Ravens positional versatility, as the team can move him all around the formation. He should pair nicely with Mark Andrews after Baltimore watched Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar depart in free agency. The Ravens have made a concerted effort to supply Lamar Jackson with big-bodied targets in the draft this year. He might not have fantasy relevance right away, but there's some dynasty appeal here, especially since Hibner has a chance to be the eventual successor to Andrews.
