Something to note in general is that there's only about a 15% hit rate for visits : drafted

If a team knows what a guy brings, and knows his character through other means (combine, pro-day, etc.), then they don't need to bring them in.  If they are interested, but there's a level of mystery, questions, or anything extra they're trying to learn, well yeah, then they'll bring them in.

So don't simply equate visit to being bought in.  Visits indicate interest but can just as easily be something teams come away with a hard confirmation the dude is off their board.

Could mean they sold and want to confirm.  Some could mean people hear weird stuff but the tape is too hard to ignore so they wanna meet the kid.  So many possibilities.

The more interesting thing to me is that we're not playin around with the positions we're interested in drafting. QB, Edge/LB, CB, Wr, TE, backup OL. Also seems like a good amount of guys that could end up in UDFA so maybe trying to get some leverage there considering we have like 25 spots to fill to get to 90

      Bryce might be the most frustrating player we've ever had.

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's mostly me. I came into the season basically believing he was not ever going to be the guy but with a little bit of wait and see. It didn't take long of me seeing before I saw he was the same guy he has largely always been. Maybe in some future scenario 3-5 years from now he is confident enough to be a decent NFL QB. I don't really want to be the team waiting for that to happen. Let his 3rd, 4th, 5th or whatever team be the ones that figure it out.

      Naw let him get to Tampa and crack his old fragile body with Radsom or Trey M I’d love to see him get rocked by this raw defense. He’s a fool thinking he would leave us for greener pastures I’m glad it played out this way should’ve stayed loyal to the ones who really wanted you.

      And a legitimate question to ask is what does this offense look like once Bryce is off his rookie contract? How is that offensive line going to look? We have a ton of money invested up front and that is 100% unsustainable with Bryce making starting QB money. Icky and Moton are going to be 50m per season plus the guards at 32 and possibly Mays at 6-8 if we're lucky. Add in Bryce and that's 125m just on those 6 players if we tried to keep them all. It's just not doable.  So then the real question IMO becomes, if we spent the money on our OL, and less on a QB, would the outcome be that much different? I haven't seen Bryce elevate the offense enough by himself on a consistent basis to warrant the contract we would have to give him, not to mention the players we would have to give up, based on the accelerations of the bonuses as I understand them, would likely include Icky.
