NFL Draft 2013: Updated List of Seahawks Pre-Draft Visits to VMAC

Regrettably, I was not as successful in 2013 tracking the Seahawks Pre-Draft VMAC visits as in the past. Teams have a maximum of 30 "Non-Local" visits, and the Seahawks used all 30. I was only able to dig up 20 of the 30. (Last year Danny and I were able to nail 30 of 30, so the Seahawks are getting better at getting the players/agents to keep quiet, or we are getting worse at digging.)

The Seahawks also had 17 "Local" visits, and this list does not reflect those local players

In addition, there were five private workouts that I was able to dig up. I am not sure if the Aaron Mellette workout was at his college or at the VMAC. The QB workouts were done offsite (not at the VMAC).

QB Matt Scott - Arizona
QB BJ Daniels - USF
QB Zac Dysert - Miami Ohio
P/K Quinn Sharp - Oklahoma State
WR Aaron Mellette - Elon

***
As you can see, most of these players are late round or UDFA type players, many of whom did not get a Combine invite. The six "consensus" highest graded players on the above lists are:

Christine Michael, Tyrann Mathieu, Duke Williams, Kyle Juszczyk, Matt Scott and Zac Dysert

Interestingly, Duke Williams, Christine Michael and Tyrann Mathieu are all talented players who may fall a bit due to some character issues. Perhaps the Seahawks were seeking some answers and seeking opportunity with those three names.
