Ravens Add G Vega Ioane At No. 14

Ely Allen’s PFR mock draft is on fire along the offensive line. After Spencer Fano went to Cleveland and Francis Mauigoa to New York, Vega Ioane is going to Baltimore.

The Ravens took the Penn State guard at No. 14, bringing in a player who should be an instant starter on the interior. The 6-foot-5, 330-pound Ioane was a full-time starter at left guard for the past two years. After earning a second-team All-Big Ten nod in 2024, Ioane took home first-team all-conference and first-team All-America honors last season. He went back-to-back years without allowing a sack or taking a holding penalty, per Pro Football Focus.

Known as a mauler who excels in the running game, Ioane looks like an ideal fit for the Ravens. Although dual-threat quarterback Lamar Jackson was rarely healthy during a 13-start 2025, he was still a key contributor to a rushing attack that finished first in yards per attempt and second in yards. Jackson and running back Derrick Henry stand to benefit from Ioane’s presence going forward.

Ioane should serve as a much-needed upgrade on a Ravens line that has undergone a few notable changes this offseason. They lost elite center Tyler Linderbaum to the Raiders, which was a major blow. The team also allowed Daniel Faalele to leave for the Giants after back-to-back 17-start seasons. Faalele was on the field for 99.7% of offensive snaps last year. Free agent pickup John Simpson will replace Faalele, while Ioane should step in at left guard from the get-go and send 2025 starter Andrew Vorhees to the bench.
