Found a link to an interactive draft simulator that might be interesting...worth a look.

14. Baltimore Ravens: OG Olaivavega Ioane, Penn State

We get a break from the run on Styles and Lemon as the Ravens elect for some offensive line help. It has been a roller coaster of an offseason for the Ravens, but protecting Lamar Jackson remains a priority. This pick accomplishes that goal.

While I'm tired of Psu players clapping out, I would not hate that pick

[oldno82]

While I’d like that pick, I think he’s gonna be gone by 14.

Francis Mauigoa OT

MIAMI (FLA.) • JR • 6'6" / 329 LBS

PROJECTED TEAM Baltimore

PROSPECT RNK 20th

POSITION RNK 4th

 

He has played right tackle but has the look of a dominating guard. They have had great success moving college tackles inside to guard over the years with guys like Marshal Yanda.

14. Baltimore Ravens – DE Rueben Bain Jr., Miami (Fla.)

Picking Bain, who most certainly plays like a Raven − short arms and all − would allow for an alternate fulfillment of GM Eric DeCosta’s alleged plan to pair Trey Hendrickson and Maxx Crosby before Baltimore backed out on its trade with the Raiders for the latter. Bain's T-rex limbs didn’t stop him from being extremely productive – often against NFL-caliber offensive tackles – for the ‘Canes. He bulled his way to 9½ sacks and 15½ TFLs last season and was a menace during the College Football Playoff.

Olaivavega Ioane

Penn State · OG · Junior (RS)

Ioane's the sort of road grader the Ravens have desired in recent years. He starts at right guard in this scenario, with the team selecting a center on Day 3 to bolster the line in front of Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry.

We are 2 days away from the NFL draft, who will the Ravens take?

Me, I think they will trade back, get an extra 2nd and 3rd.

So, who do you got?

[oldno82]

If they stay where they are, I think they take either Ioane or Fano. If they trade back a few spots Ioane might still be around. While I like the guy, somehow taking a guard this early grates on me. 

How would you like it if they took Sadiq a few picks later after trading back?

Even if they trade down, I think they take an O-lineman.

[tsylvester]

If they trade to say 22 or so, I would be fine with Sadiq, otherwise I would like to see them trade down to the top of round 2, 1-5 say, get a high 3rd too if possible. Better value there for players they both covet and need

[oldno82]

If they drop completely out of round 1, I think they lose the opportunity to get a 5th year option on a round 1 choice. 

Not necessarily disabling, but should be taken into account.

[papasmurfbell]

After the first it is only a 4 yr deal.  If they like the guy the can extend after 3.

 

i have no clue what they will do.

[tsylvester]

Let’s say the Cardinals and Browns, Chiefs and Giants all take offensive linemen in the top 10, and that run inspires the Rams, at 13, to grab a receiver late (they have been linked to several) and take the best OL left. And the top five defensive players are also all gone (Sonny Styles, Arvell Reese, David Bailey, Rueben Bain and Delane Mansoor). And in this experiment, only one WR is gone when Baltimore selects.

So what now?

Tough question

 

Okay things get interesting for me here. Especially in the above scenario with so many options still available at 14.

Stands to reason in this case that even moving back five-to-eight spots, DeCosta would be looking at some of a similar cluster of players. Size is so hugely important for this team given the current roster at these pass catching positions, and what it means for Lamar Jackson, so grabbing Kenyon Sadiq (Oregon, TE) or Boston would be far more appealing to me in this scenario.

Reasonable me thinks

[papasmurfbell]

Hopefully a few other teams find our pick desirable and trade down.

[oldno82]

If it plays out that way, I'd trade down too.

[tsylvester]

Dallas is not, not extending the headache that is George Pickens, would you trade the 14th for him and a 3rd?

[papasmurfbell]

No.  You do that to get over the top.  We are not at that place.

[tsylvester]

FYI, according to AI, the 14th pick should occur between 9:30 pm and 9:45pm, i shall be well asleep by then. My how old age changes priorities
