The Baltimore Ravens finished with an 8-9 record last season. They missed the playoffs and decided to fire John Harbaugh as head coach. Baltimore hired Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter as the new head coach. The Ravens have lost a lot of key players this offseason.

One of the biggest losses on the roster has been center Tyler Linderbaum. There is no doubt that Baltimore does not have a very strong interior offensive line at the moment. The Ravens have not done enough this offseason to help out quarterback Lamar Jackson. Is this roster even good enough to make the playoffs next season? Also, Baltimore was going to trade away its first-round selections in 2026 and 2027 to the Las Vegas Raiders for Maxx Crosby, but they backed out of the trade at the last second.
CBS Sports Mock Draft Has the Baltimore Ravens Fixing Its Interior Offensive Line

The Ravens will have the 14th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Tom Fornelli created his latest 2026 NFL Mock Draft for CBS Sports. With the 14th overall selection, he has Baltimore getting interior offensive line help. They would select Olaivavega Ioane from the Penn State Nittany Lions. Fornelli said, “We’ve reached the point where I’ve seen Ioane mocked to the Ravens so many times (including by me!) that I’m convinced there’s no way it actually happens in the draft. If for no other reason, Baltimore might worry people would think it just picked who the public told it to.”
It would be smart for the Ravens to draft an interior offensive lineman in the first-round of the 2026 NFL Draft. He is 6’4″ and weighs 330 lbs. There is a chance that Ioane could be drafted later in the first-round, but if he is on the board at 14, Baltimore should draft him.
