The Supplemental NFL draft happens this Thursday starting at 1:00PM. Last year I believe they did not have one, but this year they have a few prospects that declared for it.
Here are the players available:
Texas Tech DE McKinner Dixon
Kansas State WR Deon Murphy
Kentucky DE Jeremy Jarmon
Florida State WR Corey Surrency
Central Michigan OT Joe McMahon
Southern Mississippi WR Torris Magee
Western Kentucky LB Blake Boyd
Tennessee DB Demetrice Morley
Players like Dixon, Surrency, McMahon, Magee, Boyd and Morley are not expected to be drafted and will be available via free agency later that day.
Murphy is rumored to be possibly a 6th or 7th round pick, while Jarmon could go as high as the third round. Obviously all these guys have some sort of red flag, otherwise they would be playing college football this year and not trying this last ditch effort to make the NFL.
Players in the supplemental draft usually do not pan out, or go on to have just average NFL careers. Though there have been a few players that have had good to great NFL careers, such as Bernie Kosar, Cris Carter, Jamal Williams and Mike Wahle.
Most will remember that Nick Saban spent a 5th round pick in the 2005 supplemental draft on DT Manuel Wright. We all know how bad that turned out.

For those who do not fully understand the supplemental draft rules, this is the basics:
1. This draft is done via e-mail and not like the April NFL draft.
2. Before the draft, the team e-mails the league what round they would like to spend on a player. If a team does not want to draft anybody, they do not have to send the e-mail or even participate in the draft.
Lets say Miami sends an e-mail saying they would like to spend a 4th round pick on Jeremy Jarmon and the Eagles say they would like to spend a 3rd round pick on Jarmon. The Eagles would be awarded Jarmon and will be forced to forfeit a 3rd round pick in the 2010 draft. Miami would not have to give up anything since they did not get the player.
Miami currently has 9 draft picks in the 2010 draft:
1st round
2nd round
3rd round
4th round
5th round
6th round
6th round (From Washington)
7th round
7th round (From Kansas City)
Is there anybody on the list you think Miami should even consider forfeiting a 2010 pick for? If so, which player and how high of a round would you give? Is there anybody worth taking a chance on if they go undrafted?
