The annual premier all-star games featured some impressive performances from prospects at positions that will be addressed this offseason.<\/p>\n

The Ravens front office has long believed in drafting and developing their core talent rather than relying on veteran acquisitions. General manager Eric DeCosta has repeatedly said that the draft is the \u201clifeblood\u201d of the organization, and a quick glance at the roster explains why. Outside of Roquan Smith, all of the Ravens\u2019 key long-term players were acquired via the draft.<\/p>\n

College football\u2019s annual all-star games are key scouting opportunities for the Ravens. The Reese\u2019s\u00a0Senior Bowl<\/a>\u00a0is one of the premier events of the circuit and provides a pool of the top collegiate talent from which the Ravens regularly find future players.<\/p>\n

Four of the Ravens\u2019 nine selections in the 2024 NFL Draft attended last year\u2019s Senior Bowl: right tackle Roger Rosengarten, outside linebacker Adisa Isaac, wide receiver Devontez Walker and running back Rasheen Ali.<\/p>\n

The former FCS standout who spent the last two years playing left tackle for the Bison projects better as an interior player at the next level. Zabel will be one of the biggest risers up draft boards after he consistently dominated higher-level competition. He took reps at all three interior spots throughout the week, earning National Team\u2019s Practice Player of the Week honors. During practice, he\u2019d sometimes flip between both guard spots from one rep to another and showed impressive grip strength, hand placement, and ability to mirror to go along with a strong anchor.<\/p>\n
