 |
|
|
The annual NFL Supplemental Draft will be held 7/12/12. It is speculated that as many as 10 players will participate in the supplemental draft, the largest number ever.
| Quote: | | Though the NFL has yet to confirm the date, reports say the Supplemental Draft is expected to take place on July 12. The agent for TCU's Ed Wesley has confirmed that he will enter the Supplemental Draft, and another report from Adam Caplan states that former Baylor wide receiver Josh Gordon will also enter his name into the Supplemental Draft.LINK |
Josh Gordon, who will enter the Supplemental Draft, has been one of my favorite prospects for some time and is a classic Al Davis selection at 6'3" 225lbs with 4.3 speed. Those days are long gone however I will post his highlights anyways in case you have forgotten the explosiveness of this prospect. As a low character guy, I don't suspect Gordon is anywhere on the Raiders radar.
Short on RB depth, perhaps the Raiders might in interested in a late round flier on TCU RB, Ed Wesley:

| ray ray armstrong was suspended indefinitely from miami for talking to a booster on twitter, could be added to the supp draft, and could be a decent add for safety depth with a late rd pick or udfa signing |

That name sounds veeeeery familiar. Wasn't he a pretty highly rated prospect prior?

Yes, the Raiders should be very interested.

UPDATE:
Apparently the indefinite suspension is currently a rumor as Armstrong is still listed on the roster, but his suspension still may be imminent. I found this scathing scouting report while trying to find news on Armstrong:
| Quote: |
Miami strong safety Ray-Ray Armstrong is considered, by most draft gurus, to be a first or second round prospect in next year’s draft. But there is absolutely no way that anyone who has seen him play believes that he actually has a future in the NFL. I have never seen a player touted as a “future 1st round pick” who is as horrific as Armstrong is on film. And I saw Vontaze Burfict before his draft stock fell. Armstrong is a joke, and, if he actually gets drafted as high as everyone says he will (which I doubt), he will be a major bust in the NFL.
Armstrong has excellent physical tools. At 6’4, 215lbs, he has ideal size for a safety, and he has excellent speed for his size, with a 4.54 40 yard dash. He has excellent athleticism and his strength is also above average. Armstrong is an excellent physical specimen.
Armstrong has poor stats. In 2011, he was one of many Hurricanes suspended for the Nevin Shapiro scandal, but he didn’t do much upon coming back. In 7 games, he only got 34 tackles, 1 interception, and 0.5 TFL’s. So why were his stats so bad? It didn’t help that he WASN’T A STARTER upon returning. He only started one game in 2011, the game against Duke, and the only reason he was a starter was because Miami ran a base 4-2-5 defense for that game only. I find it to be quite telling that Armstrong spent the entire season as a backup safety behind Vaughn Telemaque and JoJo Nicolas. Not to mention, he was also a backup before the suspension. In 2010, he only started 3 games, all of which Nicolas missed due to injury. I find it absolutely shocking that people think a player who wasn’t even a starter during his junior season will be a first round pick in next year’s draft. Ultimately, Armstrong has poor stats.Read the rest of this article here . . . |
Current Supplemental Draft entrants:
| Quote: |
The NFL announced the official supplemental draft list and here are the players. TCU running back Ed Wesley, Boise State CB Quaylon Ewing, Baylor WR Josh Gordan, Alabama A and M linebacker Larry Lumpkin, Iowa State OL Adrian Haughton, Syracuse fullback Adam Harris, Louisiana Tech WR Houston Tuminello, and Georgia DE Montez Robinson. |

Yeah Armstrong is extremely over hyped. Hes just been flat out bad in the games I have seen him. The physical tools are there, so I wouldnt be against signing him if nobody wastes a pick on him, but thats about it.
