North Dakota St OL Gray Zabel is one of the draft’s most intriguing prospects. Projects as a C or OG but has played all five OL positions. Powerful blocker from a great program that has produced several NFL OL recently.

These were the best OL on the field today in my opinion. All of them absolutely crushed it:
