Much of the discussion throughout draft season for the Baltimore Ravens has centered on the offensive side of the football. They significantly improved the defense in free agency<\/a>, but were relatively quiet when it came to adding actual contributors on offense.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s pretty much down to interior offensive line or wide receiver with their pick at 14. The Ravens have been heavily matched with two players at those spots: Penn State\u2019s Olaivavega Ioane and Arizona State\u2019s Jordyn Tyson.<\/p>\n

Tyson feels like the perfect piece to add<\/a> to Lamar Jackson’s weaponry. He\u2019d be an ideal complement for Zay Flowers<\/a>. Unfortunately, his stock may be taking quite a hit. ESPN\u2019s Matt Miller believes Tyson’s stock could be falling<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany scouts remarked that Tyson’s hamstring injury and lack of predraft workouts could cause him to slide to the back half of the first round.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baltimore Ravens\u2019 potential draft target Jordyn Tyson may be falling down boards<\/p>\n

Tyson injured his hamstring back in October of 2025 and reaggravated it in November. The hope was that he\u2019d be ready for the Arizona State Pro Day in late March, but that wasn\u2019t the case. He didn\u2019t participate in on-the-field workouts<\/a>. Now, in April, it seems like his injury is taking a turn for the worse.<\/p>\n

This news could help the Ravens. Tyson is in the conversation for the top wide receiver in the 2026 NFL Draft. The question has always been his medicals, and if they checked out, he would likely be top-10 bound. Unfortunately for him, a draft fall could be in the cards due to that questionable hamstring.<\/p>\n

In the same way, this could also hurt Ravens fans hoping that Tyson would be suiting up in the purple and black in 2026. Baltimore isn\u2019t one to completely take a player out of the conversation due to injury red flags\u2014they took a chance on David Ojabo in the 2022 NFL Draft (which obviously didn\u2019t pay off)<\/a>. However, at such a high value pick at 14th overall, they may want to steer clear of a player with such a major risk. <\/p>\n

The Ravens need a day-one contributor alongside Flowers, and they may not have time to wait around for Tyson to get healthy. Even then, whether or not he can stay healthy will loom over him early in his NFL career.<\/p>\n

With Tyson\u2019s future becoming an alarming question, Baltimore may have to turn to a player like USC\u2019s Makai Lemon if they plan to target a wideout in the first round. If that need becomes a Day 2 target, Washington\u2019s Denzel Boston, Alabama\u2019s Germie Bernard, or Tennessee\u2019s Chris Brazzell II make a lot of sense.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s wide receiver class goes much deeper than Tyson. It\u2019s actually one of the deeper position groups in the draft. But seeing Tyson\u2019s profile face increasing uncertainty is a bit of a buzzkill. He\u2019d fit the Ravens perfectly, and although it doesn\u2019t completely take him out of the conversation, it hurts the possibility of an exciting pairing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Much of the discussion throughout draft season for the Baltimore Ravens has centered on the offensive side of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":855181,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2052],"tags":[184,117,2282,7,6,169],"class_list":{"0":"post-855180","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-baltimore-ravens","8":"tag-baltimore","9":"tag-baltimore-ravens","10":"tag-baltimoreravens","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-nfl","13":"tag-ravens"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116352548349952140","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/855180","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=855180"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/855180\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/855181"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=855180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=855180"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=855180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
