2015 NFL Draft: Tracking the Redskins Pre-Draft Meetings, Visits, and Workouts

Tracking the Redskins Pre-draft activity

Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images

The 2015 NFL Draft officially begins a week from tonight, and yesterday was the last day for teams to hold pre-draft visits with players.  Yesterday, the Washington Redskins held a local prospect day for at least 20 players from the area.  They also hosted USC DE Leonard Williams yesterday. I've been tracking the meeting, visits and workouts since this year's Combine, and have that list for you below. There have been many more formal and informal meetings between the team and prospects, but I have only listed the ones that have been reported.  The Redskins are allowed 30 pre-draft visits every year, and I have 17 listed below.  Last season the Redskins drafted one player that reportedly visited the team, Virginia OT Morgan Moses.

The pre-draft visit list definitely has some preferred positions this year, with OT, OLB, and DBs getting a lot of attention.  There are also some WRs, OGs, and DL.  It's interesting that there has only been one RB to visit the team, and that was a potential UDFA at the local prospect day yesterday.  Last season the Redskins hosted several RBs, taking one that didn't visit(Lache Seastrunk), or make the team.  They ended up finding their 3rd RB in UDFA Silas Redd.

How many pre-draft visitors will they draft this year?

It's always good to find numbers to back up a gut feeling.  "Last season, I crunched the numbers and learned that of the 495 widely announced pre-draft visits, only 33 players were drafted by a team they visited, a 6.7% hit rate," wrote Mike Tanier on Sports on Earth. "Thirteen teams drafted zero of the players they interviewed. Reporting interviews does little but work reporters to exhaustion covering meaningless procedural minutiae."
