Supplemental Draft next week...



and there are two DL's available. USC DT Manuel Wright (pictured) and Toledo DE Jerome Walker. Any interest from us? The DT could go in the second or third, not sure about the DE. He is undersized (6-5, 257), and I can't find stats on him. Anyone know anything about this guy?

Also a RB available from Texas Tech, Ivory McCann, but he is tiny, and I think worked out as a CB/WR. 4.3 40 though, if we still want PR/KR help, he could be the man.

FYI, if not drafted in supplemental, these guys become FAs, just like the regular draft. So they could end up in a camp this year anyway.

  1. Not that we don't have enough of them, but isn't there a fairly good WR available as well?

  2. good idea with the PR/KR...i still hope the KR/PR is still a focus for the offseason, whether its a free agent or something (unless of course one of our guys shows brilliance...cough*seneca*cough)

  3. From a ESPN article by yer buddy re Roscoe Crosby

    On June 10 at a high school in Columbia, S.C., Crosby ran between 4.41 and 4.45 in his 40-yard dashes. He checked in at 6-foot-2, 212 pounds. He has 31½-inch arms and 9½-inch hands. He pumped 225 pounds 18 times in the bench press, uncommon strength for a wide receiver.

    I can't see us taking him too early, supplemental draft is tricky though, if we really wanted him, when do you take him? Good Karen replacement, at least as far a tangibles. Who knows, it would be a pretty nice surprise, but who do we lose?

  4. Personally I don't think we'll end up taking him, there are other teams that need receivers more than we do. But if he falls far enough, he might be worth it.

  5. Wright went to the dolphins in the fifth, and Roscoe went undrafted. couldn't we have spared a fourth for Wright?
