2011 NFL Supplemental Draft Takes Place Today

Update 1:35 p.m. (ET): Terrelle Pryor was drafted by the Raiders in the third round. Click here for full coverage.
The 2011 NFL supplemental draft will go down at 12:00 p.m. (Arrowhead Time) today and there are six players available in the NFL's "other" draft: QB Terrelle Pryor, Western Carolina DB Torez Jones, Georgia RB Caleb King, Lindenwood DE Keenan Mace, North Carolina DE Mike McAdoo and Northern Illinois DB Tracy Wilson.
The headliner there is obviously Pryor, the former Ohio State QB who will be ineligible to practice or play in the first five weeks of the season after violating NCAA rules (and, for some reason, the NFL is enforcing the NCAA's rules).
The Chiefs currently have a tie to the NFL supplemental draft with OT Jared Gaither on their team. Gaither was academically ineligible for the 2008 season at Maryland so he entered the supplemental draft and was picked up by the Baltimore Ravens with a fifth round pick.
The way the supplemental draft works is sort of like a silent auction. Teams will submit a bid -- a draft pick -- on a player. The highest bid wins the rights to the player and gives up the corresponding pick in the 2012 draft. So the Chiefs could submit a fifth round pick on Pryor and, if that was the highest bid, they would be awarded the rights to Pryor and give up their 2012 draft pick.
Will the Chiefs be players with any of these guys? My first instinct is to say no but, honestly, I don't really know. I could see them taking a flyer on a player with a seventh round pick but I assume it'd be hard for GM Scott Pioli to part ways with a 2012 draft pick.

Hopefully, not playing this game.
Rather take my chances with the cuts coming up.
What's the difference between jelly and jam?
Might be a dumb question..
But what happens with the pick? You just lose it or is there some intricate, detailed way it gets given to someone?

We should offer (for Pryor)
- 1 Autographed football (signed by whoever is around when we walk in the locker room and say “hey, who wants to sign this fucker to try to win us a Terrelle Pryor?”).
- One of the equipment assistants will give Goodell an “old-fashioned”.
- Two Jujube’s that have been in Pioli’s coat pocket since last season.
- Half a Mallomar
Can we do that?
I'd rather have Richard Pryor
So sick of hearing about this guy as if he’s actually any good. If it wasn’t for the Ohio State scandal and him missing out on the April draft then forcing himself into the Supplemental no one would care.
I hear Richard Pryor was fast
Well he was while running down the street on fire from smoking crack

Pryor and Baldwin in the same locker room
sounds like a recipe for disaster. That is a lot of diva.
What the hell has lead you to believe Baldwin Is a huge Locker room diva
The 1 fight he got into with TJ? What else? This shit is getting old. Last week he was the Savior of or WR corps

Maybe calling his college coach and QB out publicly
Doesn’t bother me but I can see how it would drive some right 53’ers crazy
You can't live that American dream on foot, bro. Aint nobody riding horses no more.

He actually liked his college coach
He was pissed that they fired Wannstedt more than anything. The QB on the other hand, yeah he threw him under the bus, but I don’t blame him. The guy was terrible.

Also not sure about Pryor being labeled a diva either
I think the general “negative” opinion surrounding either/both has lead to a misapplication of the word “diva”. We at least have some historical commentary to go by with Baldwin. As far as I know, Pryor is only guilty of making poor decisions.

I never thought he was a "savior"
but he came in with character concerns and got into a physical confrontation with a team leader after getting into an on-field confrontation with JC at practice. That physical confrontation is now going to keep him out of the rest of his rookie preseason. Do you think that situation would be made better by adding Pryor into the mix? Baldwin may not be a huge concern by himself, but adding in another diva would be harder for a young team to absorb.

I agree the "diva" talk is annoying.
It takes two to tango and the overhyped team leader Thomas Jones was also involved in the fight.
With the team being so tight-lipped
we can only go with “rumors” that have been reported elsewhere.
Part of that report cited someone who described Baldwin as a "Diva, spoiled, doesn’t wanna listen." In other words, exactly what those red flags — which included charges of indecent assault, harassment and disorderly conduct that were later dropped — warned everyone about prior to the draft.

Seriously if I hear the word Diva one more time today.
That moniker has been used with Ocho, Owens, Because they have played in the League for years and it has been shown. The Kid gets into a scuffle with TJ and every “Right 53er” (as HIV likes to call them) goes and starts throwing the Diva word around. I put the blame equally on there shoulders. It’s not like its the first time TJ has got into a fight with other players on his team. Just like how 3 weeks ago Justin Houston Was gonna be a holdout Bust, And he is Now gonna Amazing. So many people jump to conclusions on this sight its absurd.

Call me crazy, but I would use a 5th rounder on Pryor and coach him to be a WR.
He could play ST’s this year and learn from the best WR coach out there…Todd Haley!
Why?
Is everyone so upset that he traded memorabilia for tattoos? 6’5" running a 4.38 40 is ridiculous. Being a QB I would assume that he knows how to read defenses.
Maybe he can read them, but he can't pass worth a shit

And no evidence he can run routes or catch.
I’d rather save our draft pick for actual football players. We got guys like Stanzi, Powe and Bannon late in this year’s draft. I like their chances of contributing a lot more than a guy changing positions, because he’s not very good in his old position.
I agree. I dont want Pryor as a QB, if we did take a 7th rd flyer on him I hope it was for TE or WR.

Can he catch or run a route?
I heard his lateral movement isn’t very impressive. I guess if all you are going to do is ask him to run fly patterns, then sure.

On the subject of Goodells punishment for him
Don Banks on SI.com posed a great question. Is Goodell going to do this for all players and coaches now? If so, what about Pete Carroll?
As Pryor himself said.
Goodell did him a favor by making him eligible at all. He didn’t have to. So his situation doesn’t apply to Pete Carroll, for example. And if Pryor would have declared in time for the April draft, he’d have not gotten a suspension either.
Yep, the suspension has more to do with him abusing the NFL's draft process
no his NCAA infractions. Now why they chose 5 games for his suspension seems a bit more than coincidental, but Pryor is an odd case. In my opinion, he got a HUGE break. If I was the commish I would have made him wait until next April.
by CapsLockKey on Aug 22, 2011 11:58 AM CDT up reply actions
I agree.
Should have just declared him ineligible. Goodell opened up a huge can of worms with this suspension.
I would have made him sit out the entire season and wait till next year
I was under the mistaken impression that this was left over from his college suspension.
It is what it is and we are who we are.

Big shocker.

Pryor goes to the Raiders in Round 3. One of three teams I was figuring on.
Idiots.
