The Ones Who Visited the Pack

Each NFL team is allowed 30 pre-draft visitors to the team's facility, and an unlimited number of "local" visitors and private workouts. We thought it would be interesting to compile as much information on these visits as possible. We'll check after the draft to see what teams chose primarily off their visit list.

This is not intended to be a complete list.

* = Confirmed "local" visitor
** = Believed to be private workout only

Green Bay Packers

Terrence Austin, wide receiver, UCLA.
Danny Batten, defensive end, South Dakota State.
Duane Brooks, wide receiver, Stephen F. Austin.
Duke Calhoun, wide receiver, Memphis.
Jorrick Calvin, cornerback, Troy.
Jonathan Crompton, quarterback, Tennessee.
Alex Henderson, running back, Northern Arizona.
Mike Iupati, offensive guard, Idaho.
**Ryan Mathews, running back, Fresno State.
Nick McDonald, offensive lineman, Grand Valley State.
**Jerome Murphy, cornerback, South Florida.
**Matt Nichols, quarterback, Eastern Washington.
Antonio Robinson, wide receiver, Nicholls State.
Patrick Robinson, cornerback, Florida State.
O'Brien Schofield, defensive end, Wisconsin.
Mikell Simpson, running back, Virginia.
Vuna Tuihalamaka, linebacker, Arizona.

What it means? I don't know. For the Packers, most likely, very little. Nice to see the list, though. I wouldn't mind taking a look at Schofield, for instance.

Here is a breakdown of those that visited (almost all late round guys) and what they might bring to the Pack.

I'd LOVE to see Jon Crompton go to the Pack. I went to high school with him and was good friends with his sister. Would be sweet to know someone personally on the Packers, especially from good 'ole Western North Carolina!!

Although talent wise I'm not sure. The dude was hated on a ton at UT. He apparently got a ton of talent but who knows what will happen with it.

Wouldn't mind seeing the Pack get Schofield, Crompton and Matthews. Schofield because he's from UW and if he heals 100% could be a steal in the late rounds. Crompton has the required talent and didn't deserve all the hate I don't believe, just a gut feeling. Matthews would be a nice addition, I'm going by how he looked against Wisconsin. He showed good speed and toughness.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

I like the idea that only two OL are on the list. That means Ted Thompson is going to play the OL card often. 🙂

I will be seriously disappointed if the Packers don't pick Schofield in the middle rounds - he could be a damn fine complement to CMIII and he's a great kid. I think Mathews will be a real-deal RB in the league, but he's too similar to Grant, so I don't know if I'd like that pick.

It seems to me that Thompson works out more WRs than anyone in the league. I'd be curious to see hard numbers on that.

packerfanoutwest (9h) : 49ers are underdogs at Packers, ending streak of 36 straight games as favorites

Zero2Cool (17h) : 49ers might be down their QB, DL, TE and LT?

packerfanoutwest (22-Nov) : Jaire Alexander says he has a torn PCL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : Even with the context it's ... what?

Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Badgers got hosed vs Oregon

packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2

Mucky Tundra (15-Nov) : poor guy can't catch a break
