Baltimore Beatdown on Josh Cuevas
From the article
Cuevas' 36 snaps against Minnesota gave Baltimore an opportunity to use him in several different roles. That allowed the fifth-round pick to show the athleticism and versatility that made him an intriguing addition to the tight end room... He found openings against zone coverage, picked up yards after the catch, and competed at the catch point. The effort he showed as a blocker was equally important.
STACKED’s take
Cuevas flashed receiving versatility and blocking effort across 36 snaps; zone awareness and YAC ability stand out.
Fifth-round tight end showed versatility across 36 preseason snaps (21 receiving, 13 run blocking, 2 pass blocking) against Minnesota. Demonstrated straight-line speed and yards-after-catch ability on underneath routes, zone coverage awareness by settling into soft spots, catch-point competition on contested balls, and blocking effort despite limited raw power. The source emphasizes that his receiving profile—finding openings against zone, picking up YAC, and competing at the catch point—combined with improved blocking reliability would give Baltimore considerably more freedom in deployment, making him a developmental tight end with intriguing upside.
