OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) The Baltimore Ravens took Penn State guard Olaivavega Ioane with the 14th pick in the draft Thursday night.Ioane fills an obvious need for the Ravens, who had problems in the middle of the offensive line last season and then lost star center Tyler Linderbaum to free agency. There were other possible options Miami pass rusher Rueben Bain Jr. was still available but ultimately Baltimore ended up with a player that was expected to be one of its targets all along.Despite a disappointing season for Penn State, Ioane was a second-team All-American.The Ravens went 8-9 last season, missed the playoffs and then fired coach John Harbaugh. They shored up one obvious need the pass rush by signing Trey Hendrickson in free agency.They almost didn't have the 14th pick. They agreed to send two first-round picks to the Raiders for Maxx Crosby, then backed out of that deal before it became official.___AP NFL: https://apnews.com/NFL
