Eagles Pursue Veteran Help to Fill Safety and Interior O-Line Gaps

Post-draft, Philadelphia still needs upgrades at safety and interior offensive line. The safety room is thin (Mukuba, Epps, Carter), and with limited free-agent options, a trade for a starter seems likely, with Browns’ Ronnie Hickman or Emmanuel McNeil-Warren and Panthers’ Nick Scott or Tre’Von Moehrig mentioned as possibilities. On interior OL, durability concerns for Dickerson and Jurgens’ back leave depth thin; veteran options such as Mekhi Becton or James Daniels could be pursued. Free agency is winding down, so trades and veteran signings appear likeliest.

Ravens land A+ interior lineman Vega Ioane

Baltimore at pick 14 selected Penn State guard Vega Ioane, a powerful, technically polished interior lineman praised by outlets like ESPN, The Athletic, Sports Illustrated, and PFF as a high-floor starter who should immediately bolster the Ravens’ run game and pass protection. Ioane reportedly allowed zero sacks in his final two seasons and is seen as a potential center successor, with notes that Pittsburgh also coveted him; round 2–3 mocks meanwhile continue to link Ravens to cornerbacks as they build for day 2.

Ravens chart a draft-focused path as NFL Scouting Combine opens

Baltimore heads to the NFL Scouting Combine with a clear draft roadmap: bolster interior offensive line, add edge rushers, and deepen wide receiver and defensive back options. Vega Ioane is a popular guard target for No. 14, the defense is looking to replenish a deeper edge/DL class after 2025 sacks dropped, and Buffalo... just kidding—the Ravens will also monitor potential Lamar Jackson extensions and updates from GM Eric DeCosta and coach Jesse Minter while evaluating receivers such as Jordyn Tyson as mock drafts link prospects to Baltimore.

Detroit could target a pick at No. 17 or No. 50, but the class lacks clear plug-and-play starters, likely requiring development or free-agent moves.
