[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 1061683, member: 12283"] Here's an interesting factor heading into Thursday: The Packers love to draft their top 30 visits, but they rarely do so in the first round. Since Gutekunst took over, the only first rounders who were top 30 visits were Jordan Love and Devonte Wyatt. Love was a virtual covid visit and it stands to reason that you would take every possible exposure to a QB you can get because of how important the position is. Wyatt also makes sense as an exception because he had the alleged domestic violence charge that needed investigation. But otherwise, they haven't drafted top 30 guys in round one. I suspect it's because they don't want a lot of bread crumbs around their primary targets so that teams don't read their mail and leapfrog them. So here are the guys that came in for visits this year who would be in the first round range: -T. McMillan, WR, AZ -M. Golden, WR, UT -E. Egbuka, WR, OSU -J. Simmons, OT, OSU -W. Nolen, DT, MISS -M. Williams, DE, UGA -S. Stewart, DE, TAMU -J. Pearce, DE, TEN -S. Revel, CB, ECU -T. Amos, CB, MISS So if you remove those guys, plus the consensus top 10, here's what's left of the top 40 at WR, OL, DL, and CB: -W. Johnson, CB, MICH (#12) -K. Banks, OL, UT (#13) -J. Barron, CB, UT (#15) -M. Green, DE, BGU (#18) -D. Harmon, DT, OR (#23) -K. Grant, DT, MICH (#26) -G. Zabel, OL, NDSU (#27) -T. Booker, OL, UA (#30) -D. Ezeiruaku, DE, BC (#32) -J. Conerly, OL, OR (#34) -M. Hairston, CB, UK (#35) -L. Burden, WR, MIZZ (#36) -D. Jackson, OL, OSU (#37) -N. Scourton, DE, TAMU (#40) Personally, I think that Banks, Green, and Harmon are very safely gone. I would also suspect, but am less confident, that Johnson and Grant will go. I don't see them drafting Zabel, Booker, Burden, Jackson, or Scourton. So what does that leave? -Jahdae Barron, DB, Texas -Donovan Ezeiruaku, DE, Boston College -Josh Conerly, OL, Oregon -Max Hairston, CB, Kentucky [/QUOTE]
