3 more to add to the list: I wouldn't mind any of these guys. Real high on Williams and Jones.

Sylvester Williams/UNC, Akeem Spence/Illinois, Datone Jones/UCLA all drawing lots of interest from Carolina Panthers: http://www.TFYDraft.com

From the link:

- The Carolina Panthers are expected to select a defensive tackle sometime during the draft’s initial three rounds. I am told the team brought Sylvester Williams/North Carolina in for a visit and has worked out Akeem Spence/Illinois and had dinner last night with Datone Jones/UCLA whom they are working out today.

Fresno State S Phillip Thomas is visiting the Bills on Wednesday.

He visited the Redskins yesterday and has spent time with the Panthers, Steelers, and Falcons. Thomas is purely a center field safety, but he can be very good at locating the football and disrupting the catch point. he takes some good angles when tackling, but his finishing ability in a two yard radius is extremely maddening.

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports BYU DL Ezekiel Ansah will visit the Arizona Cardinals and New Orleans Saints.

Ansah's already visited the Carolina Panthers, Philadelphia Eagles and Cleveland Browns. Now he can add two more teams to his list. The Cardinals could very well be interested in selecting Ansah, provided he slips to their pick. They need another pass rusher, as do the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are moving to a 3-4 defense this year under new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan. Ansah's not expected to last to their pick, No. 15.

They went to UT's pro day only.

I mentioned a tweet over a month ago that said, "Patterson is working out for the Panthers today and he's wearing a shirt that says, 'I'm THAT guy'". Or some 140 character version of that.

@GrantRamey@GrantRamey21 Mar

Cordarrelle Patterson is working out for the Panthers right now wearing a shirt that says "I'm that guy." Subliminal NFL Draft messages.

Hunter worked out with him as well.

    • This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.
    • I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops. 
    • I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
