Don't know if you can get a 2nd and 1st next year for the 14th overall pick, probably not anyone of quality to give up that kind of loot for in this draft.

Obviously would need to add other pieces. But if we're trading the 14th, would love to parlay that plus some into another first next season.

14. Baltimore Ravens

Olaivavega Ioane, G, Penn State

The Ravens have always had great success drafting offensive linemen in the first round. And they can lighten the loss of one of those successes (center Tyler Linderbaum, signed in Las Vegas) by taking the best guard on many boards around the league. Ioane is a 6-foot-4, 320-pound mauler, and he could join John Simpson in cleaning up the guard position for Baltimore.

Ioane at #14 went from 48 cents per contract on Kalshi to 31 cents this morning. I pounced on that because all these media types are pretty much unanimous now so they gotta be hearing that's the pick. The steep drop happened right before 5pm Pacific time yesterday, so not sure what news caused that.

Im not sure what those odds are as far as sportsbooks. Last I saw he was +250 on sportsbooks. So 2.5/1. Im bad at converting to percent. That what like 28ish %


Anyway, I have heard a few teams may be interested before 14 but again its just hard to see a non elite G go top 10 and I dont think any team is gonna move up ahead of BMore to draft a G. Im pretty certain they will take an OL if they stay at 14. Only thing that may stop that from picking Ioane is if Fano or Mauigua falls to 14. Or they trade back.

It's 40%. Would really like to know what caused the drop, so many shenanigans going on with this prediction stuff. But yeah, the Ravens don't really have to worry about telegraphing this pick because no one is moving up above 14 to draft a guard.

[jamesdean]

As others have mentioned, I think its kind of pointless for EDC to trade back. Take the 14 and run with it. This draft just isn't strong enough to justify accumulating another pick, even if its in the 2nd round. The best players coveted by teams picking below the Ravens will be long gone by then.

14 Ravens) Ioane

The Ravens grab one of the best players left on the board at a position of need. It’s a perfect match.

14. Baltimore Ravens

Rueben Bain Jr., Edge, Miami

The Ravens' pass rush will be much better with Trey Hendrickson in tow, but this pick represents a blend of remaining need and value. Bain is a rugged, powerful pass rusher who doesn't appear to have the ideal size (30⅞-inch arm length specifically) and athleticism for the position, but that's not enough to drop him any more than this. Baltimore's 30 sacks in 2025 was its second fewest in the team's 30-year history, per ESPN Research.

14 Ravens) Ioane

I think there is a chance he goes higher than this, but he's the cleanest offensive lineman in this class. He will be a plug-and-play starter.

14 Ravens) Kenyon Sadiq

 

I could see the Ravens trading down or going with Penn State IOL Olaivavega Ioane here. They end up landing Sadiq, who helps fortify the tight end spot after Baltimore lost Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar in free agency.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

This draft could get nutty in the first half of it. Seems to be no real consensus after #1

I've been thinking he's their guy for a little while now.  Don't think he's the favorite against the field, so could be any of a handful other players, but does seem like the most likely choice to me.  The complete lack of buzz around Siddiq and the Ravens despite it being a major position of need for them feels like one of their classic tells.

 

Don't think he's the guy I'd want the most, but I wouldn't be unhappy.

[BSLMikeLowe]

Among the non-top tier guys, Sadiq would be my preference. Don't feel super strongly about it, but they obviously have to take a TE at some point and I'm not enthralled with the rest of the pack. Lots of Day 3 guys, but they all look like a bunch of JAGs, and they need someone who can take over the TE1 role sooner than later because Andrews ain't that guy anymore.

[BSLChrisStoner]

I'd be pretty happy with Ioane, Bane, or Sadiq... the Ravens could use each of them.

[BSLJamieSieck]

I would prefer Ioane, simply due to the glaring need an interior OLine and there not being a lot of options on the market otherwise. 

 

Sadiq is an intriguing option and we do have a need at TE as well but I feel David Njoku is going to end up in purple. We'll probably look for an additional TE in the middle round. This draft has a ton of 6'4"-6'6", 240-250 lb guys that all rate very similarly overall. Some block better, some catch better.

 

Michael Trigg from Baylor is interesting....6'4", 240 and he works well in space and can line up in the slot. That profile reminds me a lot of Likely coming out of college. He can probably be had in the 3rd/4th round.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Yeah some intriguing TE types in rounds 2-4.

The one thing about the OL that interests me is what type of blocking does Ledford like to use. How do the prospects match up with his style. How does Emory Jones match up with his style. I wonder if there is any chamce they take one of these T prospects like Proctor or Freeling at 14.

Don't know anything about Proctor but Freeling is one of those "projects" due to his minimal college experience. He's impressive physically but how that translates to the pro level is purely conjecture at this point. Pass.

I think he's a big outside zone guy. No idea what any of the prospects are good at, but that usually calls for more athletic linemen.

Why Fano really intrigues me. Along with his versatility. Hes my realistic #1. Well somewhat realistic, I dont think he will get all the way to 14.

What selection would annoy you?
