Supplemental Draft/tOSU 5

[Bucksfans1and2]

Not really sure how big a deal this is but whispers that the Ohio State 5 might go into the supplemental draft could mean something.

Also that ex-Florida CB, Janoris Jenkins, will probably enter so that could mean something

tOSU 5

Mike Adams (OT-1st/2nd rounder)
Terrel Pryor(QB-3rd/5th rounder)
Boom Heron (RB-2nd/3rd rounder)
Devier Posey (WR-3rd/5th rounder)
Solomon Thomas (DE/OLB- 6th rounder-Undrafted)

Jenkins is apparently quite serious about playing the season at North Alabama and proving he can go more than one week without failing a drug test, which to my knowledge he has not accomplished since he went to Gainesville. I know he didn't declare early (for the 11 draft) because he enjoyed "the lifestyle" too much to give it up. IMO no teams would touch him at this point; he needs the year of maturity and detox at a small school and he can market himself in 2012 as a reformed man with tremendous upside. I know at least one agent has told him that to his face.

Pryor is very intriguing. He's basically Cam Newton but with 3 years of game tape. Not a great passer but probably better than his critics think he is, needs some mechanical cleanup but not as much as Newton or Tebow. I'll give him two things that leave me very optimistic: he has a top-end gear that is freaking rare, and he drops from under center very well, with his eyes up and the ball ready for launch. I know he's timed at OSU at 4.28 in the 40, though OSU is admittedly a fast track, but I doubt anyone in the league runs the final 20 yards faster.

Mike Adams is a first rounder. Posey is a 3rd/4th. Herron is a tough call, and he is the one guy I would advise to enter the supplemental draft because I think his market value is higher now than it will be next April.

Pryor isn't a quarterback at the next level. Hes not a leader, hes incredibly selfish, his teammates dont like him, and fans despise him. I just don't see any reason why a guy who was given every opportunity to succeed in college, but disappointed, would suddenly turn it around at the next level where he will have significantly more competition, expectations, and pressure. That being said hes a rare athlete and has a great body for the WR position and could be a good player there. You can have WRs be knuckleheads as they arent the guys who you count on to lead your team. They are the guys you need to make spectacular plays, and thats what Pryor can offer.

Mike Adams is also disappointing. The talent is there but he needs another year of college. Hes not a first rounder based on what I have seen in his first three years. Good potential at a premium position though.

Posey is the one player I really like out of the bunch. Hes been a great WR and I could really see him making an impact at the next level. Hes got good size, speed, and makes plays. He drops too many passes but overall hes pretty awesome. Hes the best Buckeye WR prospect since Santonio IMO.

Soloman Thomas wouldn't get drafted at this point. He absolutely has to return and play well in the games next year. Supplemental draft would be a huge mistake for him.

Boom Herron is in a tough spot. I don't think hes a draftable player no matter what he does. Hes a small power back without elite speed. I can't see him ever being a good NFL player. I dont think he would have been drafted this past draft, I dont think he will get picked in the supplemental draft, and I dont think he will really blow up next year in a half of a season to change peoples minds about the player he is. I just dont see NFL potential out of the guy and never have. I would stay in school and be relevant for one more year and hope to improve.

What team will be selecting in this years supplemental draft? and is pryor already included?

I finally remembered today that Floyd was reinstated at Notre Dame, for some reason that slipped my mind for quite some time. Was really hoping that the Jets would snag him, but nevertheless. I'm just curious if we will see a team out of nowhere roll the dice on Pryor, I know very far fetched. To me it seems like something the Dolphins or Bills would do just to add play makers on the offensive side of the ball.

Third round to the Raiders... Al Davis.. shocker.
