We've talked about the NFL supplemental draft, which is on Thursday, before. It's different from the NFL draft in that teams submit hidden bids on what round they would take one of the available prospects. If theirs is the highest bid, then they win and forfeit a 2010 draft pick for that player.
I could talk to you more about the supplemental draft or you could check out connerman's piece from June 10th - The Mixed Bag of the Supplemental Draft. Definitely a good read and will get you caught up on the supplemental draft and some perspective behind it.
For now, I've gathered some information on the reported entries into the supplemental draft. The information comes via Bob Gretz and the FanPosts around here.
WR Deon Murphy, Kansas State
5'10, 170 pound versatile player who racked up 2,032 all-purpose yards (rush, rec., punt ret.) and 15 touchdowns. He played two years of JUCO before coming to KSU.
DE Jeremy Jarmon, Kentucky
6'3", 277 pound defensive player who entered the supplemental draft for using a banned substance while at Kentucky. Per Bob Gretz, the use of the substance was likely a mistake as plenty of people have vouched for his character. He played in 38 games with 130 tackles and 17.5 sacks at UK.
There are reports out there that 18 teams attended his workout.
LB Blake Boyd, Western Kentucky
Ineligble due to academics. 6'3", 250 pound with 93 tackles and two sacks.
DE McKinner Dixon, Texas Tech
He flunked out of school his freshman year before going to JUCO. His freshman year was still impressive racking up six sacks. He came back to Texas Tech and led the team in tackles and sacks before being suspended indefinitely for academic problems. He recorded 33 tackles, 11 for loss and nine sacks last season.
WR Torris Magee, Southern Miss
Magee played three seasons at Southern Mississippi but only appeared in five games last season. He caught 54 balls and returned 10 punts. He's 6'2", 215 pounds.
G Joe McMahon, Central Michigan
He's leaving early because of academic problems. He's moved around a bit both in school and the offensive line. He started the first give games at right guard last season but finished seven of the final eight at center.
He's leaving school early because of family considerations according to Gretz.
WR Corey Surrency, Florida State
He played two years with a semi-pro indoor team and the NCAA ruled his last two seasons ineligible. He transferred to FSU from El Camino College. He's 6'5", 210 pounds and caught 12 balls for 237 yards and four touchdowns (not a bad catch-to-TD ratio).

I'll be surprised
If they go after any of these guys. I think we already have some UDFAs who are up to the caliber of what is offered here. The tall WR may be of interest, but I still think they will wait and see what they have in camp and then maybe pick up some guys off waivers when the cuts start to be made.
Chiefs go 9-7. LJ makes 1400 yards. DBowe makes 1200 yards. Defense #18.

Same thoughts here.
I wonder though, why weren’t these guys available through the regular draft, or as UDFA’s? College ineligibility reasons?
My crystal ball says that the Chiefs will not be drafting Aaron Curry. Their record at the end of 2009 will be 10-6. After witnessing the 2009 draft, their record will be 8-8.

Question from the ignorant
I think I know the answer to this, but can a team submit bids of the same value for more than one player? For instance, if the Chiefs are not willing to gamble more than a 6th rounder on Jarmon and Surrency, could they submit a 6th rounder for both of them and designate which player they would prefer?

Hmm
Honestly, I’m not sure on that. I’ll ask and get back to you.

I've got the answer
I asked Bob Gretz…one pick per player. Can’t use the same pick on multiple players.

So *hypothetically*
if the chiefs wanted to wager their 7th round pick for a guy and didn’t end up getting him, they couldn’t wager that on another guy?
Or does it not work that way in that you wager a pick on whom you want and at the end of the day the results are reviewed and the highest bidder wins?

Yes, like a silent auction
Whoever is high bid gets the man and loses next years corresponding draft pick.

I think...
if any of them really wanted to play football… all they would have to do is watch a Derrick Thomas video on youtube… they would know exactly what they need to give…

I would like to see
what the WR from Florida State could do
Great players dont win championships.....Great TEAMS win championships

Cory Surrency
Cory did not enter the draft or sign as a free agent because he did not find out about his eligibilty untill it was to late. He is a very good blocker and I believe that he would have had a very good year if he had came back to FSU. I think he would be worth a shot if we could get him for a late round pick.

Corey Surrency is worth a good look
he’s had a troubled past but I haven’t read too much about any character issues. He’s really tall, about the size of Burress, and excels at the jump ball. Watched his highlights and was pretty impressed. Could be a good big target for Cassel.

+1
Surrency does seem to have great height and athletic ability, not to mention Tyson Jackson hair :-)

Jarmon and Surrency are interesting.
I've been rapping for about seveteen years okay? I don't write my stuff anymore I just kick it from my head you know what I'm sayin? I can do that. No disrespect but that's how I am.

Vitals on McMahon & Dixon
McKinner Dixon 6-3, 250
Joe McMahon 6-4, 290
Be interesting to see what Oakland Chicago & Denver do on Thursday…

I don't see any of these guys in our future...
Next years draft picks will be much more valuable than anything we can do right now. I think that Pioli and Haley both are prepared to put this team on the field and see what we have to work with.
After a year, they will be able to truly evaluate what these players are capable of with good coaching/sytems etc. If they can find players they want in FA or on waivers, those guys may end up here but, I don’t think they are going to give up any 2010 picks unless it is a guaranteed home run.
