3. Crockett Gillmore

Crockett Gillmore has been the Ravens most dependable tight end as of late, especially considering he has played more games for the Baltimore Ravens than anybody else on this list.

Gilmore is also the team’s best blocking tight end, which is needed after the team lost two of their starting linemen. Offensive line is a big question for the Ravens this year, and Gilmore could help there.

Gilmore’s size is almost identical to fellow teammate Darren Waller, and Gillmore has shown better production blocking and on the receiving end. Compared to Wiliams with almost the same sample size last year, Gilmore seemed slightly better racking more yards and more touchdowns than Williams. So, of the two other listed behind Gilmore, he seems to be the better option.

But, the same issue arises, as Gilmore has been plagued with a hamstring injury, back, and shoulder injuries. If Gilmore can stay healthy look for him to be one of the top Raven tight ends.
