We are allowed 30 visits from draft prospects.
This is more a fact gathering thread collectively made with our learned dawgs.
Every Regime is different but a common denominator is a vast amount of draft picks made will come from the 30 list of Visits. I remember one season (maybe w/Savage) all our picks had visited.
Most team are completing their list n through some board sleuthing we can come up with a good list. Please keep discussion to a minimum. Possibly off of this thread I would like to make some others??? For instance we can compile the 30 then have a thread where dawgs draft our 7 picks from the list in their perspective rounds. 
Geno Smith is scheduled to come here...I forgot the date anyone care to add that it would be appreciated. Any other news on Visits? Thanks in advance for this participation.
Defense wins championships. Watson play your butt off!
Go Browns!

Matt Scott will visit the week of April 8th. They may be looking for a Kaepernick type guy to groom. He supposedly was "Absolutely Stellar" during Zona's Pro Day.
http://www.waitingfornextyear.com/2013/03/nfl-draft-browns-will-host-arizona-qb-matt-scott/
Below is what CBSSports.com (formerly NFLDraft Scout) has to say about him. He's projected to be going in the 4th to 5th rounds but I've read that if a team really wants him they'll go for him in the 3rd.

Latest News
03/16/2013 - 2013 Arizona Pro Day: Question marks still remain with Scott, specifically about his size. He was measured at 6'2", which is typically undersized for an NFL quarterback. His weight, which has gone up to 212 pounds, is also an injury concern for teams. "I feel like it's kind of irrelevant, but teams look at it as a big question mark when it comes to durability in games," Scott said. "It's pretty big just putting the weight on."
With the success of Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson last season- a smaller player in his own right- Scott has a chance to still make a dent in the NFL. UA head coach Rich Rodriguez, who's coached in more than 215 collegiate games, said Scott has one of the strongest arms that he's ever coached or competed against. According to Buckner, that ability was on display at the Pro Day. Buckner said his former quarterback looked better than ever and that his passes were "whistling like a NERF ball."
In Scott's only full season with Arizona he threw for 3620 yards, 27 touchdowns, 14 interceptions and a 60.3 percent completion percentage. He led the Wildcats to an 8-5 record and a Gildan New Mexico Bowl victory over Nevada. With everything put together, Scott has a chance to be a steal in the upcoming draft, Whitfield said. "He's not going to be the front-runner, headline guy," he said. "But, some team is going to have a toast after they get him." - Kyle Johnson, Arizona Daily Wildcat
•More Matt Scott News
Overview
Nick Foles is the only Arizona Wildcats quarterback to be drafted among the seven-round format currently used by the NFL. The program won't have to wait nearly as long to see the next one selected, as Scott possesses the combination of arm talent and mobility to rank as one of the more intriguing dual-purpose quarterbacks of the 2013 draft class.
Foles and Scott competed for the opportunity to start following Willie Tuitama's career with the Wildcats, with Scott actually winning the job to open the 2009 season. He started the first three games, engineering wins against Central Michigan and Northern Arizona but struggled against Iowa and Foles took over as the starter.
For the next year and a half, Foles was the Wildcats' quarterback, though Scott did replace him for two games in 2010 when Foles went down with a knee sprain (Washington, UCLA).
The two quarterbacks couldn't be much more different. Foles, now a member of the Philadelphia Eagles, is a traditional drop-back quarterback who relied on his ability to read defenses and fit the ball into tight windows. He offered little in terms of mobility and was no real threat to defenses to scramble.
Scott, on the other hand, is very athletic and has enjoyed his greatest success when rolling out and forcing defenders to account for his legs (1,138 rushing yards, seven touchdown over his career) while also possessing the arm strength and touch to scorch them if they lose coverage responsibilities.
He started 12 games for the Wildcats in 2012, completing 60.3 of his passes for 3,620 yards and 27 touchdowns against 14 interceptions. He enjoyed a stirring end to his career with the Wildcats, throwing two touchdowns in the final 42 seconds to lead Arizona to a stunning 49-48 victory over Nevada in the New Mexico Bowl.
Though he has only started 17 collegiate games, Scott's upside is undeniable, especially as the NFL evolves towards more mobile passers.
Analysis
STRENGTHS: Dual-threat passer well-suited to today's NFL. Has an efficient setup and delivery of the football, including a quick release. Throws a tight spiral with plenty of velocity to make every throw. Can drive passes through tight windows, including on deep in-cutting routes and the deep-out.
Very good accuracy, velocity on slant routes. Shows good touch to loft passes between defenders and down the sideline. Good ball placement. Consistently hits his receivers in stride, providing them the opportunity to gain yardage after the catch.
Good elusiveness in the pocket and looks to remain a passing threat rather than simply run. Keeps his eyes downfield and is accurate on the move (especially to his right), showing the ability to square his shoulders and deliver passes with zip.
Tough. Returned from the big hit that caused a concussion (Utah) and played through it. Willing to stare down the barrel and take the big hit to complete the throw. Selfless teammate who took a redshirt in 2011 to return as Arizona's starter once Foles left.
WEAKNESSES: Possesses a lean build that may make him more prone to injuries, especially given his willingness to run with the ball. Started just 17 games at Arizona and missed one game last year (Colorado) after suffering a concussion in the third quarter against Utah.
Was a perfect schematic fit for Rich Rodriguez's offense and will need time to acclimate if placed into a more traditional pro-style attack, including taking snaps from center. Has a slight 3/4 release point which makes his lack of preferred height even more of an issue. Often was allowed to make throws based on his initial read in this offense and has a tendency to get happy feet when he's forced to come off of his first target.
Generally an accurate-passer, though when is off-target, Scott is generally high, forcing his receivers to adjust and potentially absorb big hits. Only 17 career starts.
COMPARES TO: Seneca Wallace, QB, Cleveland Browns -- Just as Wallace was pegged by some as a small, run-first, pass-second quarterback when leaving Iowa State, Scott will require some fine-tuning in the NFL. Don't be surprised, however, if his toughness and better-than-advertised arm talent result in an extended NFL career, perhaps even as a future starter.

Arizona quarterback Matt Scott, a later-round projection, will visit the Browns the week of April 8, according to John Kryk of the Toronto Sun.
A read-option quarterback, Scott is viewed as a developmental QB with plenty of upside. He'll also visit the Bills and Jaguars, and has already met with the Eagles, according to the Sun.
Scott (6-2, 202) started 12 games for the Wildcats last season, completing 60.3 percent of his attempts for 3,620 yards, with 27 TDs and 14 interceptions. He finished on a high note, throwing two TD passes in the final 42 seconds to defeat Nevada 49-48 in the New Mexico Bowl.
As a sophomore, Scott lost his job to current Eagles quarterback Nick Foles, and has started only 17 college games. But he's the kind of dual threat QB teams are coveting right now.
==========================================================
This is an interesting prospect. When you watch him throw you have to like what you see. He has a quick live arm. He has quick feet like RG III . Not talking about his running ability but the way he can reset his feet once on the move.
I have no idea about his mental makeup, work habit, leadership ability or any other aspect of his mental game. But his physical skills are intriguing.
There has been quite the buzz about this guy and apparently he is moving up the boards.
He is a legit 4th rounder but will most likely get pushed to into the third because of position.

Yup. This is what I've felt about him as well. Good arm, nice wheels, won't embarrass you coming in off the bench, but will he ever be a top 25 QB in the league? I don't think so.

We either looks at those other two mid 1st round 34 DE guys because we want to trdae one of Rubin/Taylor and pick them after a trade down OR to compare them to someone else (that would explain looking at D.Jordan too)....my best guess would be Ansah, who's a DE/OLB hybrid and Jones....Lombardi and Banner are outsmarters, so I don't think we want any of these guys and probably look at Milliner, Ansah and Jones...and maybe some QB
It doesn't make any other sense that we look into a 3-4 DE in the 1st....

Wouldn't want some little guy like Russell Wilson or Drew Brees. He is 6'2" and 213. About the same size as RGIII.

Cleveland Browns will conduct private workout with Florida State QB E.J. Manuel April 5 Mary Kay Cabot, The Plain Dealer By Mary Kay Cabot, The Plain Dealer Follow on Twitter on March 28, 2013 at 12:20 PM, updated March 28, 2013 at 12:27 PM CLEVELAND, Ohio - Despite signing Jason Campbell, the Browns continue to scout the top quarterbacks in the draft. They will travel to Tallahassee, Fla., on April 5th to conduct a private workout with Florida State quarterback E.J. Manuel, a league source told The Plain Dealer today. Manuel (6-4, 237) has been climbing up draft boards according to analysts, and is expected to be taken in the first round. The Browns have the No. 6 pick overall. Browns CEO Joe Banner has said quarterback is not the focus for the Browns at No. 6, but he also has said the Browns wouldn't rule out drafting one. He's often cited the Eagles drafting Kevin Kolb even though they had Donovan McNabb. Manuel, who ran a 4.59 in the 40 at the NFL Combine in February, is a dual-threat quarterback in the vein of a Colin Kaepernick or Russell Wilson. Lindy's Sports Draft Report Magazine writes of Manuel "...mature young man well-suited to handling the role as the face of the franchise. Strong arm -- can make every throw, including some dazzling passes that only a small number of quarterbacks can make. Accurate deep passer and has excellent touch overall. A terror when he runs with the ball -- he's much faster than his frame would indicate...'' The Eagles, who have the No. 4 overall pick, are working out Manuel in Tallahassee today, and he will also visit the Bengals. Pro Football Weekly writes of Manuel, "A big, strong, athletic passer who excels passing on the move. Has franchise quarterback potential if he can learn to settle down in the pocket...'' The Browns, who currently have four quarterbacks on the roster, are spending a lot of extra time with the big-name quarterbacks in the draft. They're also conducting a private workout with West Virginia's Geno Smith, and Browns offensive coordinator Norv Turner raved about USC's Matt Barkley at his Pro Day on Wednesday. The Browns are also bringing in Arizona dual-threat passer Matt Scott for a predraft visit. Campbell, who was brought in to compete for the starting job, signed a two-year deal that's worth as total of $3.75 million, with $500,000 of his 2013 base of $1.5 million guaranteed, according to nationalfootballpost.com. Campbell will be on a conference call with Cleveland media at 1:15 today. web page

We are going there...so this does not count as one of the 30 visits we are allotted. Also don't know about the new CBA??? I remember reading not this year...at least last maybe before that. In the 30 visits we are not allowed to work them out??? Could that be. It did state Scott coming to us for a "predraft visit" nothing about a work out???
Obviously visit is limited to 30 so it has to mean more??? Going to the prospects College or home HS?? to visit/usually work them out is in the same sentence we are allowed like 60? but they don't count to the 30.
I'll try to keep a separate list if possible from what is notified here.
Thanks again dawgs keep it coming.

It's what we need to do. Unless we have hints we might be able to trade, no sense working out guys clearly out of say the top 10-15 of the 1st round or guys clearly 1st or high to mid 2nd round guys.
To me you start picking up the scouting of players who might be ranked 50. It's not impossible for a guy to drop 10 or so slots slots. At some point a run on a position happens. When that happens, good players drop.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. GM Strong ![[Linked Image]](http://www.dawgtalkers.net/uploads/small-gator-chomp.gif)

I am taking this as Norv playing the game. If Geno gets taken ahead of us this might be enough to get someone considering Barkley to trade up for him.
Am I perfect? No
Am I trying to be a better person?
Also no

Yeah. I live in SC now and I think Swearinger is underrated. He has some known weaknesses, but this guy really flies all over the field and is a playmaker. He also hits very hard. I like this kid.

If we could nab both these two guys, then I would consider (IMHO) the draft a roaring success. The open CB spot could be filled by Brown or Bademosi (or ???). I agree with Vers on Swearinger from what I have read...

Piggy-backing ... Cleveland Browns work out two potential draft picksBy Tom Reed, The Plain Dealer CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Browns worked out a draft-eligible cornerback and guard last week, a source told The Plain Dealer. The club held a private workout with Rutgers defensive back Logan Ryan. He started all 26 games the past two seasons for the Scarlet Knights, and is projected as a second- or third-round pick, according to NFLDraftScout.com. Ryan (5-foot-11, 191 pounds) recorded 94 tackles, 17 pass breakups, four interceptions and two fumble recoveries as a junior last season. The Browns also worked out University of Kentucky guard Larry Warford. The 6-foot-3, 332-pounder was a three-year starter for the Wildcats. NFLDraftScout.com projects him as a second- or third-round pick. He was an Associated Press third-team All-American. The Browns have needs at both positions, particularly at cornerback. They are searching for a starter opposite Joe Haden with 33-year-old free agent Sheldon Brown expected to sign elsewhere. http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2013/04/cleveland_browns_work_out_two.html

At DT, context and meaning are a scarecrow kicking at moving goalposts.

6. Don Jones S - who? ----------------------------------------- Arkansas State Strong Safety Ranked by NFLDraftScout as the "383rd" best player and the 15th best SS overall, hence most likely an afterdraft FA.  http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/prospectrankings/2013/SS

web page By Zuri Berry, Boston.com Staff Name: Don Jones, S, Arkansas State Overview: You can't teach speed. That's how Don Jones, a strong safety for the Arkansas State Red Wolves and junior college transfer, has drawn interest around the NFL, including from the Patriots. The Baltimore Sun reported that he conducted a private workout for the Patriots recently. At the Arkansas State pro day, he ran a 4.42 and 4.40 40-yard dash, according to NFLDraftScout.com. He also recorded a remarkable 42-inch vertical jump, which has skyrocketed his draft stock. While he was estimated as a third- or fourth-round pick originally, that has more than likely changed. For his senior season, he recorded an unofficial 72 tackles with one interception and two passes defensed. Attributes Height: 5-11 Weight: 191 Workout results 40-yard dash: 4.40 Bench: 17 Broad jump: 10'07" 20-yard shuttle: 4.48 3-cone drill: 7.19 - See more at: http://www.boston.com/sports/football/pa...h.ptLUvQM0.dpuf
