In the one NFL draft move that went as expected, the Baltimore Ravens selected Penn State All-American guard Olaivavega Ioane with the No. 14 pick. The Ravens are no strangers to letting the draft come to them, often capitalizing on top-tier talent that unexpectedly slides down the board with a best-player-available approach.

The board settled in, and after Spencer Fano and Kadyn Proctor came off the board, Ioane landed with the team that badly needs his physicality and dominant traits inside at offensive guard.

The Ravens are built to contend now, and Ioane is an immediate Day 1 starter at right guard opposite John Simpson.

LT: Ronnie Stanley

An aging left tackle, Stanley regressed somewhat in 2025 after making the Pro Bowl in 2024. Last season, Stanley's 70.9 overall grade was 35th out of 89 offensive tackles according to PFF.

LG: John Simpson

At guard, veteran John Simpson returns after spending his past two seasons with the New York Jets. He'll battle Andrew Vorhees.

C: Corey Bullock

With three-time Pro Bowl Tyler Linderbaum in Las Vegas as the highest-paid center in NFL history, the Ravens could choose to draft a center. Former Maryland star and undrafted free agent Corey Bullock could be a player to watch, while Jovaughn Gwyn offers positional versatility.

RG: First round pick

While Eric DeCosta has raved about last year's third-round pick Emery Jones Jr., Andrew Vorhees returns, and Vega Ioana or Spencer Fano would be Day 1 starters.

RT: Roger Rosengarten

In 2024, Rosengarten earned a spot on the Pro Football Writers Association All-Rookie team, alongside No. 5-overall pick Joe Alt of the Los Angeles Chargers. After some early career struggles, Rosengarten took over as the Ravens' starting right tackle in Week 4 and finished ranked No. 39 at his position by Pro Football Focus (PFF). He had four sacks allowed in 488 pass blocking snaps. This season, Rosengarten's 76.4 grade was 26th in the NFL, as he logged 1,014 snaps with three sacks allowed.

Analysis

With three-time Pro Bowl Tyler Linderbaum in Las Vegas as the highest-paid center in NFL history, the Ravens could choose to draft a center. Former Maryland star and undrafted free agent Corey Bullock could be a player to watch, while Jovaughn Gwyn offers positional versatility. At guard, veteran John Simpson returns after spending his past two seasons with the New York Jets, while Eric DeCosta has raved about last year's third-round pick Emery Jones Jr. Andrew Vorhees returns. Baltimore's offensive tackles are solid starters, Ronnie Stanley and Roger Rosengarten, but they only have 2025 fifth-round pick Carson Vinson and 2025 undrafted free agent Gerad Lichtenhan as reserves.
