Mock Draft Roundup: Post-Combine Picks for Ravens

Jordan Reid, ESPN: “Right guard Daniel Faalele was the clear weak link of Baltimore’s offensive line and is scheduled to become a free agent. Replacing him with Ioane could be a significant upgrade. Ioane was a steady blocker inside for the Nittany Lions, allowing only two pressures and zero sacks last season. The Ravens’ line gave up 45 sacks in 2025 (12th most in the NFL) and would be boosted by Ioane, who is a plug-and-play starter at either guard spot with the feet, strength and base to improve quarterback Lamar Jackson’s protection.”

Lance Zierlein, NFL.com: “Wide-bodied drive blocker who has continued to refine his physique and improve his overall quickness and consistency.”

Charles McDonald, Yahoo! Sports: “Baltimore needs to add more high-end offensive line talent and Ioane may wind up being the only first-round caliber player on the interior this year. He perfectly fits the power running that Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry have thrived with and is athletic enough to have versatility for new coordinator Declan Doyle as he begins to install his offense in Baltimore.”

Mark Morales-Smith, Sports Illustrated: “The interior offensive line was the Ravens’ biggest concern last season.”

Brent Sobleski, Bleacher Report: “New Baltimore Ravens head coach Jesse Minter is a Harbaugh disciple, both Jim and John. He understands the importance of winning at the point of attack. The Ravens weren’t particularly good at guard last season. Plus, center Tyler Linderbaum’s pending free agency could further weaken the Ravens’ offensive interior. Penn State’s Vega Ioane is the class’ top-graded pure guard prospect. He can immediately give the Ravens something they haven’t had in some time.”
