I'm hoping for Penny Hart late in the draft.  Little jitterbug that can run some "gimmick" plays and play specials/returns while he learns the slot position.

Didn't see one of these on here yet.

Saw that Jace Sternberger is scheduled to visit us on April 1.

It'd be nice if the OP kept track of the visits.

Will do. The only one I'm aware of to date is Sternberger. The rest were ones where we checked in during the EW weekend and combine, etc. If people post to the thread, I'll update in the OP and keep a running list.

Cool.

 

Thanks for the thread.

Gives us an idea of kinds of players we are considering. Hart, Morgan, the Clemson kid would be interesting day three picks.

Didn't think Sternberger would work. 

Mack would be a great 4th round pick up.

Gonna have to bookmark it in order to bump it back up. I tried to start this thread about a month ago and it went nowhere fast...

I've been so busy that I forgot Cody Thompson was in this draft class. 

Would love him as a Day 3 pick. 

[Golfman]

So how many players have we actually drafted in years past that we were linked too? I'd be curious if someone had some numbers on that.

Gutey’s approach on it appears to be much different than TTs from the one year sample.

 

TT mostly used visits for potential UDFA prospects.

Cobb....that happened. Usually late round or UDFA though.

 

But it does reveal what they are looking to draft. There is a load of slot WR, esp Day three. I was just wondering if they would consider the smaller ones. Seems so

Last year, Burks, J'mon, MVS and Donnerson all had pre-draft visits with us.

So did Boyle, Jamerson and de Beer, who are all currently on our roster.

I feel like it is going to be Fant or Taylor at 12. There were several combine reports about the squad looking at these 2 then too.

Taylor doesn't make agility thresholds for the pack.  It would be interesting if they took him..

 

The only Packer type OL I have rounds one and two are Dillard and Lindstrom. But I would be ok if they took Taylor. Glad they're taking a close look at least.
