NFL | Supplemental draft coming in July
Thu, 18 May 2006 15:35:44 -0700

Gil Brandt, of NFL.com, reports the NFL will hold a supplemental draft July 13. Rules of the supplemental draft stipulate that it has to take place at least 10 days prior to opening of first training camp. Draft order is determined by a weighted system that is divided into three groupings. First comes the teams that had six or fewer wins last season, followed by non-playoff teams that had more than six wins, followed by the eight playoff teams. The paperwork hasn't officially been filed yet for this year's supplemental draft, but there are at least two players who will get a close look from scouts around the league, LB Ahmad Brooks (Virginia) and DE Jason Berryman (Iowa State).

If Groh gives a positive evaluation, I'd love to see us get Brooks with a 6th -- we've got the Jets' pick there

Absolutely, a 6th would be worth it. Stockpile those LBs. The guy apparently has great potential.

If we can hit on a player with his talent for a 6th that would be great. But I would want to know that he is staying in shape and is serious about football. I have heard that he is getting bad out of shape and his attitude about playing isn't so great; if this is true I'd just as soon keep the 6th round pick.

a 3rd why not, would have been top 15 pick next season

I doubt Brooks would last that long, but if we could get him then it would be great. I'd go with a fourth.

 

[WilmingtonHeel]

Ahmad starting to believe the hype about him too much. Should have focus on himself to get better. If he does you have a top ten type player

 

[aznhalf]

I'd give up a second day pick for him depending on how he tests out. I wouldn't give up a valuable first day pick even if it is going to be at the end of each round

Just by feeling the buzz around him it seems like someone will gamble on him with a 3rd round bid before we get the chance.

Brooks would be a good fit....

why would he give a positive evaluation? He just threw the loser off the team..he is out of shape and has been trouble there since day one

Brooks I'd be interested in. I don't know much about Berryman and I think we're well rounded at DE. It doesn't seem like we're going to offer Ellis in a trade to anyone so I wouldn't make an offer on him. Be interesting to know what Groh tells Parcells about Brooks. Or what Parham and Canty tell him for that matter.

Groh is towing the line on discipline -- it wasn't only Brooks who was tossed.

 

[TheGoat73]

If he can be had for a 5th or later, GET HIM. He got thrown off the team, but look at UVA's offseason. They have had a lot of issues. He's an athletic, dynamic player. Canty should have valuable insight for us.

With so many teams switching to a 3-4 scheme, someone will snap him up in the second or third round at the latest if he shows up in shape and passes the physicals.

That's exactly what I think will happen. My money will be on Romeo Crennel & Cleveland BTW.

People say that about Manuel Wright too (going 2nd or 3rd) -- where'd he go?

 

[RealCowboyfan]

You never could have enough linebackers....

 

[Eskimo]

Wright is a different caliber of player. People were talking about Brooks as top-15 pick last year up there with Merriman and Ware. If he checks out physically someone will give up a first day pick for him.

Not sure where I saw the blurb, but apparently Canty has talked him up. There was a quote about how he's one of the most athletic and talented LB he's ever seen or something to that effect. I'd have to dig to find it, but it was in some article about Brooks.

Berry's a 'tweener DE, 240 pounds of 3-4 OLB...

With a depressingly lengthy rap sheet... but his freshman year, he was highly productive... Big XII Defensive Rookie of the Year, or something like that...
