The top 30 visits are a big deal in every NFL front office. In the weeks leading up to the NFL Draft, each team gets to bring up to 30 players into its facility for up to 24 hours.



It's not something that is public, or that the league forces teams to share, so you have interns on the internet and Twitter keeping records of everything that is reported about other teams. A lot of the NFL is doing detective work based on the other 31 teams and the players they may or may not bring in.



For example: it was reported that Georgia linebacker Roquan Smith and Alabama defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick were visiting the 49ers this week. Every team in the NFL made a note of it somewhere in their systems. It's hard to always to know every visit for every team, but you can come damn close. Especially with social media. Trust me, I was in charge of monitoring this activity for the Eagles for a couple years.



Also, just because a guy is coming on a visit doesn't mean that...
