The Baltimore Ravens traded tight end Hayden Hurst and a fourth-round pick to the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for second- and fifth-round selections, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

The 2018 first-rounder will replace Austin Hooper, who's reportedly close to agreeing to a deal with the Cleveland Browns that will make him the league's highest-paid tight end.

Hurst struggled to carve out a role in Baltimore's offense. He caught just 43 passes for 512 yards and three touchdowns over the past two years, while fellow 2018 pick Mark Andrews racked up 98 catches for 1,404 and 13 scores.

The 26-year-old may be best known as the player who the Ravens selected seven picks before reigning MVP Lamar Jackson with their first of two first-round selections.

Baltimore reportedly sent a fifth-rounder to the Jacksonville Jaguars for Pro Bowl defensive end Calais Campbell on Sunday.
