Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz, USA Today<\/a>: “Back to the drawing board for Baltimore after the nixed Maxx Crosby trade. At least the edge rush concern has been taken care of with Trey Hendrickson defecting from the Bengals. The Ravens can now continue to fortify a front that has seen substantial shifts in free agency. Ioane would team with fellow guard John Simpson to provide outstanding protection for Lamar Jackson and a massive push in the run game.”<\/p>\n

Josh Edwards, CBS Sports<\/a>: “Baltimore is back on the board at No. 14 overall after it had been involved in the trade for Maxx Crosby. The Ravens could move forward with recently signed John Simpson at right guard and returnee Andrew Vorhees at left guard, but Vega Ioane is a Raven if I’ve ever seen one. He brings stability for a head coach who wants to instill a physical brand of football.”<\/p>\n

Nick Baumgardner, The Athletic<\/a>: “With Maxx Crosby back in Las Vegas (for now?) and Trey Hendrickson on his way to Baltimore, the Ravens can focus on a pressing need other than edge. They do so in this mock by taking the draft’s top interior offensive lineman, in the wake of losing Tyler Linderbaum.”<\/p>\n

Brianna Dix, Buccaneers.com<\/a>: “Olaivavega Ioane falls perfectly into the Ravens’ lap. Ioane would upgrade the Ravens’ interior with his power and contact balance. Ioane stays locked as a drive blocker and is adept at countering twists\/stunts. He sets a firm anchor against power bull rushes and displaces linemen. Ioane would help set the tone in Baltimore’s run game.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz, USA Today: “Back to the drawing board for Baltimore after the nixed Maxx Crosby trade.
