[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 872010"] A couple of thoughts. Neither the media, nor you, nor I, know who is moving up or down team boards other than rumors here or there which could be misdirection or speculation. At least a visit, virtual or on-site as in past years, is an indication of some level of interest. The team many not like what comes out of the interview or they may like the player at a point on the board but somebody else takes him higher. We rarely if ever get the inside scoop. In Packerland, many on-site visitors have been low round guys or priority UDFA guys they want to get a jump on. Gutekunst, however, is using a lot of them for higher pick prospects which Thompson avoided, which can result in this: [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]"...[/COLOR][URL='https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/2018-nfl-draft-packers/2018/4/1/17179534/nfl-draft-2018-packers-pre-draft-prospect-visits-meetings-tracker']eight of the 27 players who visited Green Bay last spring ended up as Packers one way or another[/URL][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]; four of them were 2018 draft picks ([/COLOR][URL='https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/300698/oren-burks']Oren Burks[/URL][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)], [/COLOR][URL='https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/308624/j-mon-moore']J’Mon Moore[/URL][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)], [/COLOR][URL='https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/300718/marquez-valdes-scantling?_ga=2.174342626.1568749713.1587508979-104025131.1584369729']Marquez Valdes-Scantling[/URL][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)], and [/COLOR][URL='https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/300700/kendall-donnerson']Kendall Donnerson[/URL][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]) while another four were acquired either as undrafted free agents or added mid-season ([/COLOR][URL='https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/300696/tim-boyle']Tim Boyle[/URL][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)], Gerhard de Beer, [/COLOR][URL='https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/300466/natrell-jamerson']Natrell Jamerson[/URL][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)], and Connor Sheehy)"[/COLOR] [URL]https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/nfl-draft-2019-packers/2019/3/28/18285660/nfl-draft-2019-packers-pre-draft-prospect-visits-tracker-montez-sweat-drew-lock-aj-brown[/URL] Further, the reported virtual visits lists have notable absences from the leaked on-site visit list of invitees, which might tell you something.
