DMN Blog: Four more to visit Ranch

by Albert Breer

Our own draft guru Rick Gosselin tipped us off -- and representatives of the players have since confirmed -- that Virginia Tech OT Duane Brown, Virginia Tech CB Brandon Flowers, Missouri WR Will Franklin, and Iowa CB Charles Godfrey are set to visit Valley Ranch in the next few weeks. These are four more of the 30 pre-draft visit alotted to each team.

Octagon's Doug Hendrickson said that the team will host the four prospects at varying times over an 11-day stretch, from April 7-17. Flowers will likely be the only first-rounder in the group, but it seems like Godfrey is garnering the most intense scrutiny. The Hawkeye has 11 visits set up.

Brown and Godfrey are both in the second tier at their position, and each has a good chance to come off the board in the second round. Franklin is likely to go early on the second day (remember -- there's only two rounds on the first day now).

Here are the 13 names we have nailed down for Valley Ranch visits. ...
