pre-draft prospect visits trackerDenny Medley-USA TODAY SportsNFL teams are deep
into their preparations for the 2019 NFL Draft, and as college Pro Days wind
down, the next phase of scouting is getting underway. That phase is on-site
visits, where teams invite prospects to come to their facilities for interviews,
medical checks, and often testing and drills.It’s essentially a glorified job
interview, wherein the player and gets to display the skills that he can bring
to his potential new employer and both sides can get to know each other more
thoroughly. Each team can hold visits for 30 players from around the country,
with an additional unlimited allotment of visits for “local” prospects — those
who either played college football or grew up close by.The Green Bay
Packers
Jason Spriggs Jersey White , with two first-round draft picks in their pocket, will likely be using several of their Top-30 visits on highly-rated
prospects whom the team will consider early on. That was a major portion of the
strategy in 2018, Brian Gutekunst’s first year as general manager, but it
represented a significant change from Ted Thompson’s strategy.Before the GM
change, Thompson seemed to use most of his visits on players who were either
day-three or potential undrafted free agent prospects rather than top prospects.
However, Gutekunst did bring in a handful of notable early options as well.
Still, eight of the 27 players who visited Green Bay last spring ended up as
Packers one way or another; four of them were 2018 draft picks (Oren Burks,
J’Mon Moore
Womens Bryan Bulaga Jersey , Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Kendall Donnerson) while another four were acquired either as undrafted free agents or
added mid-season (Tim Boyle, Gerhard de Beer, Natrell Jamerson, and Connor
Sheehy).As a result, keep a close eye on this constantly-updated list leading up
to the draft, as several of these names are sure to end up wearing Green and
Gold at some point in 2019 or beyond.Packers Top-30

LaFleur announced the decision Friday, answering one of his biggest questions
just three days after being hired.In his first year, Pettine installed a 3-4
scheme and had mixed results. First-round draft pick Jaire Alexander showed
signs he will become the top cornerback the Packers desperately need, and Green
Bay was ranked No. 12 in pass defense (234.5 yards per game), a big improvement
over 2017.Green Bay finished 6-9-1 and out of the playoffs for the second
straight year. As the Packers wrapped up for the offseason last week, Pettine
said he was hoping to return to keep building.“Of course, the foundation is the
hardest thing to get right, and I feel that a lot of it has been built ??and
we’ve made a lot of mistakes

do.”The Packers did pile up 44 sacks, tied for eighth in the league, though
injuries struck the defensive line. Green Bay lacked a consistent rush at
outside linebacker except for surprise sacks leader Kyler Fackrell (10?).“I like
his scheme,” Fackrell said last week. “There were a lot of things that went
against us this year with a ton of injuries, a ton of new guys. I think the way
that he was able to still keep us playing pretty well
Womens Davante Adams Jersey , I think he did a great job.”Defensive lineman Kenny Clark also liked the new scheme, which saw 17 different players
get at least a half-sack.“I had my best season under coach Pettine, and just the
blitzes and the different disguises and the different he can do to free people
up ??it’s been great for me,” he said. “He’s been using a lot of our strengths
on the field.”Longtime defensive star Clay Matthews is a free agent after
finishing with a career-low 3? sacks in his 10th season with the Packers.
