They get a certain number of visits, right? I believe it's 30. I've heard that teams meet with players that they doubt will be available via draft just to learn about them for later in their careers. One question they say is also asked is "Who should we be interested in that you've either played with or against?" in one form or another. You need to get as much information as possible in your allotted visits.

I have also heard that teams don't even visit with players that they already have decided to target. It makes sense.

To be fair, Granderson was an UDFA prolly due to his legal troubles. He really should have been drafted . And yes, Turner needs to step up to justify his draft capital .

There's been far more intrusive questions asked according to players. That's why the league nipped that in the bud.

LSU WR Kayshon Boutte A Non-Participant in LSU Pro Day Testing Drills

Like I stated earlier, it's easy for me to say "stay another year @ LSU" and work on his craft but I don't think Boutte is ready for the next level.

The NFL is a different animal.
