26 Teams attend Isaiah Battle workout

I imagine that someone is going to put up a pick much higher than we are willing to part with and all this speculation will be pointless.

 

Personally, I would take a flier on him for a 5th rounder. But I highly doubt that will be enough to land him.

I saw a mock supplemental draft (yes I know it's ridiculous). It had Tampa taking him first in RD4. Every other pick in the mock draft was PASS.

I have a question, not having paid a tremendous amount of attention to the supplemental draft in the past, does the league ever release what teams bid what for the players in the supplemental draft?

 

If nothing else, I would be curious to know what we bid if we indeed bid anything at all.

The only thing I know for certain is that if we take him, he will be a future star, if not a potential HOFer.  If we don't, he's destined for the recycle bin as a "never was" kind of prospect.

Well I think whoever posted that up definitely has the market cornered.

 

Tampa would make sense, actually and a 4th rounder isn't a terrible gamble unless his off the field issues are much worse "behind the scenes."

Food for thought-Russell Okung, Anthony Castonzo, Nate Soldier, Trent Williams, and Andrew Whitworth will be FAs next year.  "Most" teams already have more talent/stability than we do at the position anyway.  Could this drive Battle's value down even more?  Admittedly I don't have near the knowledge of the guy that our scouts that were at the pro day do, but on the surface the risk/reward of a 3rd day pick sounds awfully juicy.

How shocked(pissed?) would you all be if we get him for our 1st (32nd overall) or 2nd (64th overall) pick?

Shocked? 11 on a 1 to 10 scale. Pissed??? That would be "to be determined."

Knock me over with a feather shocked with 1st.  But I assume we'd get the 5th year option?  That would be huge since this year is a likely de facto "redshirt" year anyway.  GMan was adamant about keeping next years picks at this years draft so I don't see it given his red flags, however small.

Simply shocked with a 2nd but excited.  It obviously means we truly believe he's our future LT and we can therefore look for a DB, DE, etc. with our first next year.

Brandt thinks it'll take a 3rd or 4th.  I absolutely hate the 12 reps on the bench, even with a "cramp".  Bad time to have a cramp.

@DNewtonespn: Am told the #Panthers had two scouts at Clemson on Tuesday for OT Isaiah Battle's workout prior to the supplemental draft.

Well, that answers that.

I've seen him listed anywhere from 295 down to 270.

He might be like our old buddy Jordan Gross, i.e. someone who has to put on a lot of extra weight.

Not that I've seen.

I'm not sure if they run it like a draft or like waiver claims.

I think it is sort of a mesh of draft order and waiver wire. There is an order but the highest "bid" wins, however ties go to the team higher in the order. Something like that.
