BALTIMORE -- TRADE ALERT:  Ravens send TE Hayden Hurst and 2020 4th-round compensatory pick (143rd) to the Falcons for their 2020 2nd-round pick and 2020 5th-round pick.  

Hurst was drafted in the first round, (25th overall), by the Ravens in the 2018 Draft.  In his rookie season, Hurst suffered a stress fracture in his foot that made him miss (x) amount of games.  He made his debut week 5 against the Browns taking just 21 snaps.  Hurst played in 12 games in his rookie season with one touchdown.

Trade terms.--Atlanta gets: Tight end Hayden Hurst and Ravens’ 2020 4th-round pick.--Baltimore gets: Falcons’ 2020 2nd-round pick and Falcons 2020 5th-round pick.As it turns out, the Falcons’ fifth-round pick already has been sent to Jacksonville for Calais Campbell.

In his second season, he appeared in 16 games and started just four of them with two touchdowns.  He played behind tight ends Mark Andrews and Nick Boyle.  It may be over for Hurst in Baltimore, but with former Falcon Austin Hooper heading north to Cleveland, this may be a better opportunity for Hurst.  

Right now, the Ravens have nine picks in the 2020 NFL Draft. They have five picks in the first three rounds.  With an tight end-heavy offense, what's next for the Ravens?
