Supplemental draft

a new guy has joined Texas Tech DE McKinner Dixon

Texas Tech DE McKinner Dixon has joined Kentucky DE Jeremy Jarmon and others in having acquired eligibility for the NFL Supplemental Draft.

Dixon had nine sacks as a junior playing opposite Cowboys fifth-round pick Brandon Williams. This will be of the top Supplemental lotteries in years with FSU WR Corey Surrency, Southern Miss WR Torris Magee, Kansas State WR Deon Murphy, Central Michigan OT Joe McMahon, and Western Kentucky LB Blake Boyd also eligible. Jarmon is could go as high as the third round after running between 4.75 and 4.84 at 6'3/278 during his Pro Day last week

Nice, but not a great defensive program overall. Plus we don't have a first rounder next year, we don't need to get rid of a mid rounder as well, it might be necessary to move around in the draft next year and we need ammo to do that.

For those who care, the draft is today at 1 eastern. It is done by phone and usually only takes an hour and a half to do all seven rounds. It is not televised as far as I know.

thanks i dont think we will get anybody..but we do have a extra 6th round pick i would not mind geting rid of..but the last thing we need is another DE

yup. what i dont understand is the drafts prospects and why they are in the supplemental draft and couldnt do the regular draft, and why wouldnt they want to wait til next year to come out.

most of the guys do something wrong like jarmon tested for a banned substance but the skins gave up 3rd round pick for him.

what i want to know is what happens if nobody drafts these guys..do they get to do FA contracts

The reason most of them enter, is because whatever they did to prevent them from entering the draft (academics/doping/extreme behaviour), also prevents them from finishing their programme. All of the guys entering this supplemental draft were not able to play for their colleges/uni's the coming season.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
