Ja'Kobi Lane Heading to the Ravens With 80th Overall Pick

The Baltimore Ravens selected USC wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane in the third round of the 2026 NFL draft at No. 80 overall. Lane has good size at the position at 6-foot-4 and 208 pounds. Lane had a career-high 12 touchdowns in his sophomore season for the Trojans in 2024 and finished his collegiate career with a 49-745-4 line in 11 games last year. Unsurprisingly, he offers a big catch radius and is a prototypical X receiver that should really help Baltimore's offense in the red zone. The Ravens really needed the help through the air behind Zay Flowers after another disappointing season from Rashod Bateman in 2025. Depending on how Lane develops in training camp and the preseason, and how much chemistry he can develop with quarterback Lamar Jackson, he has the potential to open his rookie campaign as the WR2 behind Flowers. With the landing spot in Baltimore, Lane will have plenty of long-term upside for dynasty/keeper managers, and he could become a touchdown-dependent flex in redraft leagues in 2026.
