List of visits to Buffalo?

Does anyone have, or know of, a complete list of potential 2012 draftees that have been brought into Buffalo to visit with the Bills?

 

Hoping Kuechly has visited, but generally curious about who they've brought in.

The updated list as of Thursday via CBS Sports.com:

 

"NFL teams are allowed a total of 30 pre-draft visits by college prospects. The Bills are known to have used at least half their allotment. The names are one indication of what the scouts and coaches are thinking. Here's Buffalo's list so far: Quarterbacks - Kirk Cousins, Michigan State; Brock Osweiler, Arizona State; Russell Wilson, Wisconsin; running backs - Trent Richardson, Alabama; wide receivers - Justin Blackmon, Oklahoma State; Brian Quick, Appalachian State; offensive tackles - Mike Adams, Ohio State; Cordy Glenn, Georgia; Matt Kalil, USC; Jonathan Martin, Stanford; defensive ends - Andre Branch, Clemson; Chandler Jones, Syracuse; Bruce Irvin, West Virginia; Whitney Mercilus, Illinois; linebackers - Tank Carder, TCU; cornerbacks - Dre Kirkpatrick, Alabama."

It's interesting to see the kinds of talent teams are bringing in to get a better look at. Indy, for instance, has a lot of guys not on other team's lists - and that is because they're looking into second round grades, lower first round grades. Baltimore, too, had a more unfamiliar list - again, later 1st round players, but it is interesting to see where teams want to get more info.

 

I would think the top rated guys are looked at so closely it might be beneficial to get a better look at 2nd and 3rd round players to see if there are any jewels - but, then you've got to worry about the publicity, about the players be know to be on your radar. What a complicated business this is!

 

And, if you're going to try to be sure about any pick, you want it to be the first. Still, I think it'd make for an interesting study - do the better drafting teams over the last ten years tend to bring in the same guys for closer inspection as all the other teams, or do they employ a different strategy?
