Analyst suggests Zion Young could outshine Mike Green in key role
ESPN analyst suggests Zion Young may be a better fit next to Trey Hendrickson than second-tear star Mike Green.
Every draft class comes with its debates. For the Baltimore Ravens , one is already taking shape along the edge. It isn’t about whether Zion Young was a good pick .
The verdict is that most agree that he was . The question is how he fits, and more specifically, how he compares to some of the other guys who were already in the building. That’s where a recent theory from Matt Miller enters the conversation.
He recently ranked the 2026 NFL draft's top 100 picks, steals, and fits . Young was once rated as his 30th-best player in the draft. Baltimore grabbed him 45th overall, which landed him 55th in the ranking, but it's what Miller said next that may raise a few eyebrows.
He suggested that Young's "power and all-around game" might make him a better complement to Trey Hendrickson than Mike Green, Baltimore's second-round pick from a year ago. Obviously, that isn't a small statement. The Ravens get praised every year for drafting great value at positions of need and did it again by getting Young 15 picks lower than I had him slotted.
