Early Birds Podcast

Missouri EDGE Zion Young said he was "fired up" 11 times in his first news conference. Fair to say the second-round pick's eye is on the prize.

The No. 14 pick rolled around and Ravens GM Eric DeCosta had options... Did he make the right call?🤔

The Ravens have a new centerpiece of their offensive line. @brianwacker1 joined @samdcohn and @JCTSports at the Castle to break down the Vega Ioane pick last night. Tune in ⬇️ YouTube: bit.ly/49193tJ Apple: bit.ly/3OmU1aX Spotify: bit.ly/4eFYvUA

Vega Ioane reminds GM Eric DeCosta of Haloti Ngata ... high praise for the No. 14 overall pick.

Vega Ioane is out to show he belongs in the Ravens' star-studded offense 😤

Ravens first-round pick Olaivavega Ioane mentioned his Top 30 visit to Baltimore felt more like a family environment than a work environment. He sounds ecstatic to team up with Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, but noted he must "earn my keep" in the locker room.

The Ravens’ first-round pick of Vega Ioane adds the best player at his position in the class to an offensive line that needed the lift, NFL(dot)com’s Nick Shook said on Early Birds.

Vega Ioane at the NFL scouting combine: “I’m a really bad guy, but in a good way. I want to kill someone out there.”

The Ravens' offense just got a huge upgrade at a glaring position of need. Baltimore drafts Penn State guard Olaivavega Ioane with the No. 14 overall pick, bolstering their interior.

NFL(dot)com's @TheNickShook thinks the Ravens need to prioritize one of the "big uglies" with their No. 14 overall pick in the draft Thursday night. In fact, he'd be "a little upset" if they drafted a WR.

Ravens DT Nnamdi Madubuike underwent successful neck surgery last week, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, and doctors believe he will be able to return in 2026. Major draft week news.
