Entering Day 2 of the 2026 NFL draft, Missouri edge rusher Zion Young stands as one of the top remaining prospects. Six edge rushers were selected in Round 1 of the draft, leaving Young as the best player available at his position, according to many analysts.
General Manager Eric DeCosta said the Ravens considered Young to be a "first-round type of player." Young said the competitive side of him didn't like waiting till the second round, but he's happy with where he landed. The Ravens got him at pick No. 45, perhaps because of off-field questions.
The 2026 NFL draft is over, which means it’s time to hand out the report cards. The Ravens have routinely earned high marks for their draft picks, and this year is no different. Baltimore unsurprisingly took Penn State offensive lineman Vega Ioane at No.
Ravens' new draft pick Zion Young embodies 'smash-mouth' football, prioritizing physicality and setting the edge.
For the Las Vegas Raiders, the 2026 NFL Draft brought hope. For Diego Pavia, it brought only despair and humiliation.
