The Senior Bowl doesn’t get the wide-scale attention that February’s NFL Scouting Combine draws, but the Ravens certainly use it as a valuable scouting tool ahead of the draft.
In the 2015 draft, four of the nine players that the Ravens selected -- tight end Nick Boyle, offensive lineman Robert Myers, outside linebacker Za’Darius Smith and defensive lineman Carl Davis -- participated in the Senior Bowl. The previous year, eventual Ravens draft picks Lorenzo Taliaferro, Michael Campanaro (River Hill), Crockett Gillmore, Brent Urban and Terrence Brooks took part in Senior Bowl week.
