Thanks X Clown--we need fresh info to keep us from arguing about crap when both sides are wrong..

An expected PSA- these visits are not always aligned with interest+more interest after the visit.

What we don’t know are the ones where they’ve heard things, bring them in to see how they fit, and cross them off the list the second they leave the building. 

Who I like spotting/hope they check out given what I’ve seen:

Golday, Haulcy, Rolder, Cooper, Rodriguez

Faulk and McDonald on there is interesting for the R1 targets.

Here is what I see (and you can determine what it means):  Seems to be a lot of early-round attention at WR and LB. 

At WR, the Z-WR (off ball, lined up on TE side, goes in motion a lot.  Can cause mismatches) seems to be the focus.  We really don't have one with Coker or XL.  I have a feeling that Concepcion or Cooper are high on the board.  This tells me they are going to grab a WR early--probably in round 1.

Linebacker is most obviously and certainly the second round pick.  Rodgriquez, Hill, or Golday.

The fact that there is no contact with a Center is interesting, but there are guards.  Chase Bisontis is an interesting name that stands out.  Carver Willis is a short-armed OT that could be a swing T, G, or....C.  He is very good at run blocking. 

OT?  If we are drafting a T early, they sure are keeping it close to the vest.  Visits do not mean interest--it could mean they want a closer look.  Still, No top OTs, No top Centers--what is going on?  This is going to be interesting.

Safety--This is interesting because the talk is that Smiith-Wade might move to FS-but that does not explain why the CBs on this list are unimpressive.  The Safeties they have listed are day 2 players, fwiw, and both were 30 visits.

Edge--bottom of the roster guys.

If I were to guess, based on this, here is what I would wager:  

There would be a high probability of a trade back from 19.  Watch a team moving up for bama QB Simpson.

• Round 1: WR--Concepcion and Cooper both project to late first rounders.  Both are perfect fits for the Z WR (the WR that is not on the line of scrimmage outside the TE)  We don't have that guy right now.   I think we think the offense opens up with a strong Z WR.  MHS Prediction:  Cooper.
• Round 2:  LB--Hill, Golday, and Rodriguez are second-rounders.  One of them will be a Panther.  If we trade back, we could move up for a S.  MHS Prediction:  Rodriguez.

NOTE: Bisontis (C) and McDonald (DT) are wild cards--if either drop in round 2, we take them and move up back into the second for the LB.  If not, we draft the LB and move back up for Haulsy (S) so we have 4 starting-caliber players on days 1 and 2.  

Day 3: TE (Delp is my guess), OT (Travis Burke is my guess), CB, and DT.
