- The Baltimore Ravens made the mock drafts look smart.
The Ravens took Penn State guard Olaivavega Ioane with the 14th pick Thursday night. He's a player who was expected to be one of Baltimore's targets all along, and even the availability of Miami pass rushing star Rueben Bain Jr. wasn't enough to knock the Ravens off task. Ioane fills an obvious need for a Baltimore team that had problems in the middle of the offensive line last season.
“It's hard to not see things for how they are — seeing a lot of mock drafts, things like that, of me coming there," Ioane said. “I've definitely pictured myself blocking for all those people over there — great players.”
