Every year NFL teams are allowed to bring up to 30 prospects in the upcoming draft to their facility for face-to-face meetings. April 22nd was the last day for player visits. Here's the a list of players who have made pre-draft visits to Rams Park...
Vic Beasley, DE/OLB, Clemson
Jamon Brown, T, Louisville
A.J. Cann, G, South Carolina
T.J. Clemmings, T, Pitt
La'el Collins, OL, LSU
Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama
Jamil Douglas, G, Arizona State
Bud Dupree, DE/LB, Kentucky
Cameron Erving, C, Florida State
Ereck Flowers, T, Miami
Dorial Green-Beckham, WR, Mizzou, Oklahoma
Randy Gregory, DE, Nebraska
D.J. Humphries, T, Florida
Tre Jackson, G, Florida State
Ali Marpet, C/G, Hobart
Bernardrick McKinney, LB, Mississippi State
Deiontrez Mount, LB, Louisville
DeVante Parker, WR, Louisville
Andrus Peat, T, Stanford
Bryce Petty, QB, Baylor (according to CBSSports.com)
Shane Ray, DE, Mizzou
Laken Tomlinson, G, Duke
Trae Waynes, CB, Michigan State
Ramik Wilson, LB, Georgia (according to CBSSports.com)
As Jim Thomas noted, of the 24 players confirmed to have made pre-draft visits, a whopping 12 of them are offensive lineman. I would say we can expect the Rams to have a lineman-heavy draft. (As they should, with three gaping holes on the current line.) Very curious by his absence from the list, though, is Iowa lineman Brandon Scherff, who's rated by most as the best offensive lineman prospect in the draft. I'm unaware of a visit by him or a Rams workout at Iowa. Teams can still make campus visits up until the day before the draft. The Rams have made such visits with many QBs: Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota, Brett Hundley, Garrett Grayson, Bryce Petty and Sean Mannion, and also Wisconsin tackle Rob Havenstein and Florida LB Neiron Ball.
Reliable sources say the Rams have interest in TCU LB Paul Dawson, and West Virginia WR Kevin White said in a Sirius XM that he had a St. Louis visit scheduled, but we have no report that either has visited Rams Park.
Again, the Rams have stuck very closely to this guest list on recent draft nights. It's an o-lineman-heavy list, and I'd expect an o-lineman-heavy draft, though I think we can project they won't be afraid to draft a QB, WR, LB or even a DE if the value's right.
Teams are permitted to workout players considered local to their territory prior to the draft, and these players do not count against the 30-visit limit:
Charles Brooks, TE, Kansas, Findlay
Jimmy Hunt, WR, Mizzou
Travis Manning, CB, NW Missouri
MyCole Pruitt, TE, SIU
