NFL Schedules the Supplemental Draft for August 17th

by Bob_Q on Aug 8, 2011 6:06 PM EDT in Philadelphia Eagles News

Earlier today, the NFL announced that it would be hosting the 2011 Supplemental Draft in nine days. While no players have been declared eligible yet, the expectation is that Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor will be the highlight of this year's supplemental class.

Over the past several years, the Eagles have stayed away from the supplemental draft. In fact, you have to go all the way back to the selection of Cris Carter in 1987 to find a supplemental player that wound up in Philadelphia. However, other teams around the NFC East tell a different story. Just last year, the Cowboys selected DT Josh Brent with their seventh round pick. The year before that, the Redskins grabbed DE Jeremy Jarmon with a third rounder.

Although Pryor likely won't catch the eye of the Eagles, who are currently set at quarterback, he may end up with any of our NFC East rivals. The Redskins in particular should take a good look at Pryor, since he's a better option than the ongoing joke of Rex Grossman vs. John Beck at quarterback.

Pryor could ruin shanny’s plan to go winless and get Elway 2 in the draft.

Yeah I really think at this point when you’re 2 quarterbacks battling for the starting job wouldn’t be more than 3rd string on any other team, you’re obviously tanking to get Luck

I read an article earlier today and apparently when Mike Shanahan was still in Denver he wanted to pick John Beck with the 10th overall pick in that years draft.

Are they really going with Beck or Rex?

Seriously. How do they honestly expect to be competitive?

Grossman/Beck isn’t even a full-fledged joke. It’s more of a running gag.

If WAS drafts Terrell Pryor in the supplemental draft, I will laugh my ass off. Seriously, If I was Shanahan I would go 1-15 just to get Andrew Luck.

That’s the problem. Coaches need some security to build their team. QB is a very important position and this is the best way for WAS to get a guy who I think is going to be a star in the NFL. No more quick fixes for the Redskins, they need a plan to build for the future.

He may go 1-15 and play their asses off

and try to convince their gullible fans that they did the best w/ what they had. Seriously yo.

If they go 1-15 I just know that the lone win is coming against us.....

GOOD GOD.

Dont even say that. Every freakin yr we lose a game we have no business giving up. Washington last yr,Oakland the yr before tht,Chicago the yr before that. Sometimes we play down to our opposition and it comes back and bites us IN THE ASS!!!!!!! Not this yr. We open vs St Lohis,and we better put the world on notice that game. PHILLY IS FOR REAL,AND WE’RE COMING FOR THAT MOTHER FUCKING RING.BITCHES.

I wouldn’t worried. If the Redskins got the Terrelle Pryor, he is years away to be a real threat.

I see what you did there: Skip Bayless skips the bay of knowledge on sports while Colin Cowherd is Latin for herd of cow's turd.

by chillyphilly on Aug 8, 2011 9:00 PM EDT reply actions

I don’t know.. He could be a threat. He has good size, speed and is fairly athletic..
or maybe I’m just living off of Vick’s early days way too much and I’m just hoping for another lol
