Summary
There’s no such thing as a sure thing in the NFL Draft, but some prospects are far safer on tape than others. Ioane qualifies as a prospect you won’t worry too much about becoming a bust in the NFL. That’s because he not only checks every physical box you could want to see for a guard, but his tape looks like that of an NFL veteran. He’s consistent play to play with his technique and has a calmness in pass protection that’s hard to fake. Ioane is a plug-and-play left guard.
About
- 2025: First-team All-American (CBS Sports)
- 2024-25: Did not allow a sack over final two seasons (27 starts, 776 pass-blocking snaps)
Strengths
- Massive mitts that latch and don’t let go.
- Always has a base underneath him into contact.
- Doesn’t cede ground into the quarterback vs. power.
Weaknesses
- Agility is average; elite quicks can expose him.
- Range to find linebackers is nothing special.
- Build likely limited to guard only.
Combine Data
- Vertical jump: 31.5 inches
- Broad jump: 8 feet, 8 inches

Ravens' Olaivavega Ioane: Reeled in by Ravens
The Ravens selected Ioane in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 14th overall.
The Ravens needed to rebuild their offensive line after allowing it to fall into some amount of decay in recent years, and Ioane was a common-sense first step toward achieving that. Ioane (6-foot-4, 320 pounds) is a mauler out of Penn State who perfectly fits the Ravens' bruising aesthetic and brings a strong skill set to go within the mauler category. He should be a high-floor, high-ceiling starter at guard and packs some serious athleticism (31.5-inch vertical) on his dense frame. Though there's still work to do on the offensive line for Baltimore, perhaps at center especially, Ioane is a big upgrade in the meantime.
