    On the mark. This is all about having the most information possible to make the best INFORMED decision. Also, keep in mind that many times they talk to a player to not only get insights into that player but also to find out things about other players on his team or a player he played against.
    Let me just add that Colbert said that this was not only the deepest draft talent-wise but also the most immature group as well. These investigations help them not only find the measurables, but also help to see if the player is NFL-ready from a maturity level. They want to see if they are most likely drafting another Antonio Brown or another Ta'amu. As fans, it seems that we would expect that they would do this kind of digging. Since Michigan is a major college program they will probably be able to talk to a lot of potential picks, not just a guy like Lewan.

      One final note - visiting with as many of the guys as possible helps to not tip your hand as to what you actually are looking at.

        Thought of some of our other posts when I saw this. Had a feeling you would not approve. Lets get a defensive stud in the 1st so we can put this to bed.

          I saw Lewan is being charged with 3 misdemeanors.

          1 count of aggravated assault, 2 counts of assault and battery.

          Off the board for the Steelers much to Shawn's delight maybe.
          1. C.J. Mosley LB Alabama
          2. Jordan Matthews WR Vanderbilt
          3. (comp) Philip Gaines CB Rice
          4. Arthur Lynch TE Georgia
          5. Ross Cockrell CB Duke
          5. (comp) Derrick Hopkins DT Virginia Tech
          6. Josh Mauro DE Stanford
          6. (comp) Shaquil Barrett OLB Colorado State
          7. Quincy Enunwa WR Nebraska

              Were you one of the Buckeye fans he beat up?
              Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

                He got beat up on all day so he took it out on some fans. Can't believe this guy is a top 10 pick.

                    The way this offseason has gone, it wouldn't surprise me a bit if he ended up with this guy.

                      I would take robinson or matthews in a heartbeat, legit franchise LTs. Lewan could be, but hes raw with poor technique and is terrible in space...all correctable, but right now hes a road grading RT and we have one of those already.
