Baltimore’s 2026 rookie class showed immediate promise at the first day of rookie minicamp, with first‑round guard Vega Ioane and second‑round edge Zion Young passing the eye test in the trenches, Ja’Kobi Lane delivering a standout catch, and Elijah Sarratt flashing quickness for the receiving corps.

Ravens Add Edge Rusher Zion Young at No. 45

Baltimore Ravens select Missouri edge rusher Zion Young with the 45th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Niners Plot Day-2 Makeover: McNeil-Warren, Young, Bell as Key Targets

Kiper's Two-Round Mock Lays Out a Solid Bears Draft Path

Bleacher Nation breaks down Mel Kiper’s two-round mock for the Chicago Bears: at No. 25 he sends Missouri edge Zion Young to Chicago, then pairs the team’s needs at safety/corner with Treydan Stukes (DB) at 57 and Iowa center Logan Jones at 60. The writer notes this trio would address a premier edge, versatile defensive back depth, and an eventual long-term center, while acknowledging that trading back could yield more value in a deep draft class.
