Who Are Zion Young and Ja'Kobi Lane, the Baltimore Ravens' 2026 Second- and Third-Round Draft Picks?

  • On Friday, the Baltimore Ravens selected Missouri edge rusher Zion Young with the 45th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, adding a physical, run-stuffing force to strengthen their defensive front.
  • Boasting a 6-foot-5, 262-pound frame, Young recorded 16.5 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks during his 2025 season at Missouri, earning First-Team All-SEC honors and praise from head coach Jesse Minter.
  • Baltimore Ravens General Manager Eric DeCosta revealed he received "a barrage of text messages" after the pick, as Young joins defensive linemen Trey Hendrickson, Mike Green, and Tavius Robinson on the roster.
  • After transferring from Michigan State following a 2022 tunnel altercation suspension, Young flourished at Missouri, starting all 26 games and emerging as a locker-room leader for the Tigers.
  • Young's selection extends Missouri's streak to three consecutive years with an edge rusher drafted, while five other Tigers teammates received NFL Scouting Combine invites, solidifying the program's defensive pipeline.
