What would you give up for him?

Because former University of South Carolina tight end Weslye Saunders has been declared ineligible for the NFL draft due to a paperwork issue, he's also ineligible to participate in the NFL scouting combine.

League sources with knowledge of the situation have informed National Football Post that Saunders had been invited to the combine, but now that invitation has been rescinded.

What happened?

According to sources, Saunders and his representatives didn't petition the NFL to be included in the draft eligible list to be given special eligibility. Saunders was a senior, but didn't play for the Gamecocks last season due to an NCAA inquiry and violations of team rules.

Not sure if they can have a supplemental draft until a new CBA is signed. The only reason we can have a regular draft is because it was written into the prior agreement to have it even if the CBA expires. If the supplemental wasn't included in that agreement, it can't happen until a new one is implemented.

Definitely a supplemental draft option. I saw Saunders being to TE in the draft what Pike and Gettis were to QB and WR, only hopefully more like Gettis in terms of success and promise >.>

I expect at least two DTs and two TEs in this draft tbh. I wouldn't be surprised with one TE, but who knows.

He is a talent for sure..Kind a bigger Jared Cook Jr. for the Titans who came on late last season. He is a basketball player and has natural athletic ability. If its a low round pick for him its a no brainier.

I would have been excited to see the Panthers draft him in the 4th..but the alarm is now..is this guy just a total idiot...if not then hes a keeper.

      I am high, but that’s besides the point! The blue line is not good right now. I’ve said it all year. I don’t think this group meshes well. Slaven has been just OK Niki up and down Miller up and down ghost and Walker have been your most consistent guys. Maybe it comes together more towards the playoffs

      I was expecting to see more cap room moves by now, which may be to suggest that we are not going to be that aggressive.  I have mixed emotions about that (because I think we have 3 needs on D and 3 needs on O--starters).  If you look to the draft for 3 starters, that is ambitious.  We need 6

      Yeah we shouldn’t be competing with teams, bidding wise, to sign a WR. There will be one for us and our budget.  I keep saying, how many balls will there be to go around anyway? One thing good I will say for this offense is the ball has been spread around at times. Seems like I remember seeing a large number of guys have caught passes in a game. Or been targeted at least. 3 RBs 4 or 5 WRs 2-3 TEs type of stat lines. 10-11 guys.  Not every week but that happens.    As far as WR in general, we need the smaller agile and quicker component to compliment what is there. After that it should be about depth, having good backups for the starters so we can run things consistently still, if a guy is out for a week or two. That is especially important in game where you have to finish the game with who you made active.
