The Ravens have selected TE Ed Dickson out of Oregon with the 70th overall pick (3rd round) of the NFL Draft.  Dickson is 6′3″, 245 pounds and he runs a 4.75 40.  Dickson does not have enough strength yet to be a good blocker in the running game but he tries hard.  Maybe the Ravens can coach him up and make him a complete TE but they drafted him because of his receiving ability.  Dickson played in 13 games (all starts) for the Ducks last season and he caught 42 passes for 551 yards (13.1 avg) with 6 TD grabs.  He played in 52 games (39 starts) in his four years in Oregon and he caught 124 passes for 1,557 yards (12.6 avg) with 12 TD grabs.  Look for Dickson to push Todd Heap for playing time early in his career with the Ravens as he has a nice upside.
