This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Zed.

Playing alongside, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. When paired, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
Although, by pairing Draven and Zed together, you may not be providing your side a great deal of AP. We recommend you have other champions on your team that nullifies this disparity in this pairing's playstyle.
Regardless of the skill of your Zed teammate, you should focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well, regardless.
