best player in the sup.draft wasnt even drafted? Jeremiah Masoli. he'd be a hell of a RB. too small to be a QB in the NFL.I think he is 5'11, 190 lbs...about like Pat White

Masoli debated going into the supplemental draft, but decided against it.

forgive my newbishness on the subject.. how does the supplemental draft work?

All teams are available to place bids (rounds 1 through 7) on players in the supplemental (usually guys that end up leaving school with eligibility remaining for whatever reason). Whoever places the highest bid on a player gets that player, but loses the corresponding pick in next year's draft. So the Bears and Cowboys lose their 7th rounders in the 11 draft, for selecting Unga and Brent, since they both placed 7th round bids.

are we talking like sidney rice kind of .. like epic time left sophmores ... 5th 6th year seniors .. or just people who decide after the initial draft that they would rather try the nfl than stay another year?

No most guys usually have some other issue. Unga was kicked out of BYU for honor code violations. I think grades were the issue with Brent, although I think he had some scrapes with the law in Champaign. Jeremy Jarmon (who was picked by the Redskins last year) was facing a suspension for a banned substance.

      Who will blow it Sunday?

      BPA comes with the caveat of positional value and roster need included. Never let the latter two completely overwhelm the first, however. Our FO seems to lean heavily into "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE POTENTIALZ!!!" as a fourth category and often it seems as the #1 overall pursuit. With as many needs as this roster has, I am not going to get upset over a real roster upgrade at WR versus some reach at EDGE or whatever other extreme needs we have. Overall, I want to see the roster get better. There is far, far, FAR more than one offseason of work left to get this roster into the top 10-12 in the NFL. That should be the goal.

      I would say we are more likely to get smoked by Tampa, blast Seattle and then perplexingly lose to Tampa again.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      In general, Dave Canales tends to target his TE's the least frequently of any position group(WR/RB/TE) during his three years of running an NFL offense.  However, if you notice this percentage has crept up over time. 2025 is the first year that TE has eclipsed RB in target percentage. Production has also gone up in 2025. This is a percentage of total output in each category. Canales has always used a very TE heavy offense. In fact, on average his offensive formations are 2 or 3 TE sets roughly 80% of all offensive formations. So, the question may be, with this uptick in total TE output, could an elite or top tier TE make a significant impact? I believe there is some evidence this may be the case. Here are a look at TE snaps and Cade Otten specifically. These are the snap percentages for all rostered TE's in every Dave Canales offense. The bolded cell is Cade Otten's whopping 96.46% of total snap counts in the single year he was in the Dave Canales offense in Tampa. This was overwhelmingly his career high. His production was higher with less utilization in 2024, however.    In conclusion, while I don't anticipate ever seeing a top 5 producing/Pro Bowl caliber TE performance in a Dave Canales offense, there does appear to be some evidence that an actual upgrade in our TE room would actually lead to increasing overall offensive efficiency. I think Otten's utilization rate does indicate that the splitting of time between our relatively even TE group would cede significant snaps if a far superior option were available. I believe this is an area we could(and should have this past offseason/draft) made a more concerted effort to get a dynamic TE threat, after the apparent failure that J. Sanders appears to have been.
