The 2026 NFL Draft is drawing near. Baltimore Ravens fans, like every fan base around the league, are calling for their team to draft certain players, with Jordyn Tyson and Kenyon Sadiq in focus, among others.
The Ravens are looking for redemption after missing the playoffs last season for the first time since 2021, and picking up the right youngsters to start the new era under head coach Jesse Minter will be key. So, who do fans want the Ravens to draft?
Olaivavega Ioane Favored Over Jordyn Tyson, Kenyon Sadiq by Ravens Fans
The Ravens have several needs to address ahead of next season, including the offense. While many people are drawn to bright stars like Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson and Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq, Baltimore’s faithful have a more detailed approach.
In 2025, the Ravens’ offense ranked outside the top 10 in the NFL, and some important questions had to be answered, given that the offense is loaded with talent in QB Lamar Jackson, running back Derrick Henry, and receivers Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews.
With all these players returning for next season, including wideout Rashod Bateman, the front office has to build very strategically around these pieces. For fans on PFSN’s Mock Draft Simulator, going after Penn State Nittany Lions offensive guard Olaivavega Ioane would be the smartest.
Ioane is drafted by 30.4% of users, while stars like Tyson and Sadiq are drafted by only 9.9% and 8.6% of fans, respectively.
There’s a strong argument for fans’ sentiment, as the Ravens are already loaded with receivers like Andrews, Flowers, and Bateman. Adding the likes of Tyson and/or Sadiq will only crowd the receiving room, while draft capital could be better spent improving other parts of the roster.
The Ravens’ offensive line got a C in PFSN’s OL Impact Metrics in 2025, calling for some upgrades, and Ioane could be the perfect fit. The lineman played in at least 11 games in each of the last three seasons, giving him sufficient experience as he heads to the pros.
Moreover, since the Ravens lost Tyler Linderbaum to the Las Vegas Raiders in free agency, adding an offensive lineman in the first round makes sense.

With Ioane on the line, Penn State produced some impressive running backs over the last three seasons, including Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton. The two backs combined to produce three 1,000-yard campaigns since Ioane became a full-time starter in 2024.
The guard is known for his power more than his footwork, and it’ll be interesting to see whether the Ravens see the same value in him that fans do.
