The Baltimore Ravens have officially locked in their top 2026 draft pick, signing first-round guard Vega Ioane to a four-year contract. The deal, announced Thursday afternoon, is fully guaranteed at $24.2 million and includes a signing bonus of just over $14 million. The Ravens also hold an option for a fifth season.

Ioane, selected 14th overall, brings a formidable presence to the offensive line. Over the last three seasons at Penn State, he started 32 games at left guard, showcasing the durability and skill that made him a top prospect. With his experience and physicality, he's poised to compete for a starting role immediately—a critical addition for a team that values a strong interior line.

This signing marks a key step in solidifying the Ravens' roster for the upcoming season. With nine more draft picks yet to sign, the team is steadily building toward a complete rookie class, and Ioane's early agreement sets a positive tone for the rest of the negotiations.
