Amending @Ken's list with only the private workouts, he tracked down 20 of them (though the Clemson guys may not count toward the 30).

ETA a couple private workouts from list@MV%doe just posted: Derrick Henry and Darian Thompson. Up to 22.

Nice, thanks.

Look at who the potential 1st rounders are on that list:

DEs / DTs

also possibly Derrick Henry & Ifedi.

I'm still quite surprised we're not reported to have visited with Bullard.  He'd be someone I could see being among the "mystery 8"

CB

Kendall Fuller, Virginia Tech (Private) Proj Round: 2nd

Surprised too that there's only 1 CB included in the visits that we know of.

I seem to recall reading that we've met with Harlan Miller three times.  Did that not include a visit? (I know some Huddlers don't like what they've seen of Miller.  I'm not a good judge of draft talent.  I've just seen his name potentially associated with the Panthers quite a bit in the last 1-2 weeks.)

I actually just found something on twitter about a visit with Ryan Smith, of course him being out of NC Central he also doesn't count toward the 30.

Actually I'm seeing "private workouts" all over twitter, so I have no idea which category they actually fall under. 

Some others: Marshall RB Devon Johnson, Richmond TE Hunter Westfall, S. Utah S Miles Killebrew

I believe if you look at Ken's list, 4-5 of the mystery 8 are there. We just don't know who had the private along with the other visits\workouts. Jmo

Just realized Bullard might be among the local prospects that doesn't count toward the 30 visits?

[jdpanther5]

I am seeing some stuff about private workouts for guys like Miller and Shepard, but based on what we know these workouts may not really be visits. Here's an Aaron Wilson tweet where he specifies several of Ifedi's visits vs. a couple private workouts:

Again, since on a 30 visit, they can't workout, then it's only a workout and does not count towards the 30. 

visit = official 30 visit

private workout = workout not at team's facilities but conducted by team coaches/scouts.

Yeah, I appreciate the effort, but the effort has been putting way too much emphasis on media mock drafts which are notoriously unreliable.

I would appreciate this info. Instead of mocks, he's trying to get the list of players that we've ACTUALLY met with. I'm pretty sure teams are required to disclose that information.

Walterfootball has a pretty good tracker if you can trust it. I for one appreciate your efforts on the draft info. I love the draft so thank you.

I'm not 100% certain, but I don't think Shaq was on Walter's list last year. Can't find the page now, it keeps routing me to the 2016 list. On the whole, I find it funny that (most) evidence of horrible prognosticating is destroyed immediately after the draft.

draft prospects visits dont always mean we like them,  sometimes it mean we are interested but have some reservations.
