List of Eagles draft visits
Sheil Kapadia, Philly.com
Back for another year, here is the master list of reported Eagles draft visits.
As I've explained before, teams are allowed to host 30 prospects. It's important not to put too much stock into these visits, but it's also worth noting that the Eagles drafted several players (Jason Kelce, Curtis Marsh, Casey Matthews and Brian Rolle) from this list last season.
Below you will find the players listed, along with their height/weight from the combine, the source of the report, my notes and a projection.
The projections are based on what I can gather from various draft analysts like NFL Network's Mike Mayock, ESPN's Mel Kiper and Todd McShay and Wes Bunting of the National Football Post.
Early Round means first or second. Middle Round means three, four or five. And Late Round means sixth, seventh or undrafted. Please take these with a grain of salt.
The green background indicates official visits to the team facilities (limit of 30). The white background indicates the Eagles working out the prospect off-site. There are no limits on workouts away from the Novacare Complex.
Finally, if you see a report that I've missed, please e-mail me at skapadia@philly.com or hit me up on Twitter, and I'll update the post.

NOTES
* The Eagles worked out quarterbacks Ryan Lindley (San Diego State) and Russell Wilson (Wisconsin), according to Howard Eskin. I did not include them in the chart above because it's unclear whether those were private workouts.
* Bruce Irvin, a pass rusher out of West Virginia, said during a radio interview that the Eagles have shown interest in him, per Jimmy Kempski of BloggingTheBeast.com.
* Jim Washburn personally worked out defensive end Vinny Curry at Marshall's Pro Day, according to Gil Brandt of NFL.com.
* Linebackers coach Mike Caldwell personally worked out Boston College linebacker Luke Kuechly at his Pro Day.
* Temple offensive lineman Derek Dennis and safety Kevin Kroboth were scheduled to work out for the Eagles at a "Local Day" according to the Inquirer's Keith Pompey. Penn linebacker Erik Rask was also there, according to his agent, Jerold Colton. And Penn State defensive end Eric Latimore too, per his Twitter account. Note that these do not count among the 30 official visits. The Eagles can work out local prospects separately.
* I was asked on Twitter for clarification on the rules surrounding workouts for local players. As I stated above, teams are allowed to host 30 out-of-town college prospects. But there are no rules on local prospects, meaning guys who either live/grew up in the Philadelphia area (and surrounding suburbs), or who have gone to college locally. The Eagles are allowed to host and work out as many of those prospects as they like.
* Note that Worthy told NFL Network the Eagles had called him about taking an official visit, but he did not confirm that he'd taken one.

Why Tannehill, to move up it wll cost #15 plus a couple of picks? There are so many real needs for 2012?! They need a run stopper and they to load-up in case of additional injuries.
— Lerze777- Not too high on this list, although there will be more...Would love Fletcher Cox over Brockers, and Bolden was out for his entire senior year..Johnson is a freak athlete who played ion a weak conference..They represent high risk,high return values at the defensive back position...I'd rather have a legitimate good player in Gilmore out of South Carolina or Minnifield out of Virginia...Cousins may make a nice backup, but not a second/third round value IMO.— bearsfriend
- I'm a Vols fan and while Janzen Jackson's talent is undeniable...he's a huge risk that I wouldn't take in the "middle" rounds. Gotta be a 6th or 7th. Guy had umpteen changes at Tennessee before they finally had to kick him off. He was mixed up in an attempted robbery (no charges were ultimately filed on him & the truth never really came out) of a quick mart, but what ultimately did it was just too many positive tests for weed.— THE-KID (WI)
- It looks like the Eagles would like to pick up a QB in this draft. That would be a smart move. Kafka didn't look that great and it would be good to have a developmental guy at 3rd string with more potential. You'd probably have to move up to get Tannehill, I don't think that's a smart use of picks. I like Brockers @ pick #15 or Stephon Gilmore, Barron, Kuechly, Cox or maybe Floyd. If the Eagles stay put, they'll get a good player, no need to move up.— cletisvandam
- Bolden is this season's Curtis Marsh who was last season's Trevard Lindley. What is it with reaching for CB's who should be doing their life's work away from the NFL? When you overvalue and then overreach to get a player who is a camp body at best you end up spending a lot of money on the same position. I don't trust Mrs. Roseman's little boy, Howie, to know the difference.— coloradoeagle
- While the list of visits in previous years shows that there is some real information in knowing who visited; but, still, there are not many high draft picks on the list because teams don't tip their hand about that stuff. Take Tannehill with a grain of salt.— UncleStosh
- No update on Landri? If we dont sign Landri we'll be forced to bring in another DT. Our defense was top 10 in the league due to linebacker and secondary issues. Our pass rush was good. Thats not why we didnt make it to the playoffs last year or why we still have not won a superbowl. Its funny how something so glaring and obvious can still be overlooked by the eagles. Like the linebacker position in the past. Our WRs are small and lack physicality. Michael Floyd would be a great slot receiver and has play making ability to stretch the field. A lot of eagles fans seem to be sold on Avant and Cooper. If we're placing our superbowl bets on those guys i expect another quick exit from the playoffs. The Giants/Packers/49ers seem to get it. Our offense needs another weapon down the field. If we cant get Floyd then a solid TE would be just as important. This way our defense can stay off the field. What good is having a top ranked defense but your offense cant score in crunch time CONSISTENTLY. Ravens ring a bell? Elite defense offense cant score— Yes_General
- The Eagles should take a look at Danny Coale from Virginia Tech as a mid to late round WR that can return kicks as well. He's got great hands and reminds me of Wes Welker.— GnoRules
- There has only been one Linebacker shown the facilities.— Dexter
- Gno- Coale also punts and did so very well on the fly in the later part of last season. He reminds me of Steve Largent a bit. Great hands and very precise route runner. Smart always comes back to catch ball rather than waiting on it. Not fast but deceptive speed. Would love to see him in the lat rounds. Won't happen here but somebody is going to get an incredible running back in David Wilson...he would be a perfect backup for Shady if he were a better receiver.— glove69
- I didnt see high motor on the f'n list— sammydelphia
- Floyd is not getting passed the cardinals. I think they could use someone on the offensive line. Brockers would be the next pick, then a corner then linebacker. Thats how this draft is shaping up. I wouldnt mind us trading up to Jacksonville's pick to get FLoyd because offense in my opinion is why we didnt make the playoffs.— Yes_General
- Draft Beer— 658012
- As usual, this list horrible. No Alabama D players on the list.
Only one Safety and one LB. "Mike Caldwell personally worked out Boston College linebacker Luke Kuechly at his Pro Day." Really, why? To rule the best fit out? Looks like a DL or another OL, maybe CB. One of those three over Barron or Kuechly shows that the Eagles still don't get it. Yes_General, Floyd? Seriously? We didn't make the playoffs because our D couldn't hold anyone under 30 pts. No leadership no MLB, period.— DrZ88
