[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 866646"] It might surprise some how little face time a team may have even with their first round pick. Savage said he had no idea the Packers had interest. I can't recall if he said nobody from the Packers spoke to him, but if that was the case it wouldn't have been the first time. With the reduction of 60 to 45 Combine interviews, they bumped the time up to 18 minutes. Whoo whoo! That's the Combine. There's probably some chit chatting at Pro Days but a lot of prospects skip that if they were happy with their Combine performance. Other than that, teams are allowed to bring up to 30 players to their facilities for on-site interviews, and in some cases they'll work the guy out. With some money and time involved, these visits should be regarded as more than casual interest even if it is still kicking tires. We'll be hearing about some of these pretty soon. More on-site visits are allowed for guys that played college ball in the local market area, however that's defined. How many I can't recall but its not a ton. Thompson was notorious for not bothering with the full allotment of 30 on-sites, usually around the fewest in the league and he didn't bother with the local market area interviews either. I think it is fair to say he was more of a tape and spreadsheet guy. The guys he did bring in for on-sites were mostly of the low round / UDFA type. Scouts spend a lot of time beating the bushes and develop relationships with college coaches. Frankly, you'll probably get more from a player's college coach who can be trusted than any number of interviews. For instance, Gutekunst made a point of telling us about the good things Gary's coach at Michigan had to say about him as a factor. Gutekunst did more on-sites and has availed himself of the local area allotment. He and/or his crew appear to be more chatty than the prior regime. [/QUOTE]
