ESPN just reported that CB Paul Oliver will enter the Supplemental Draft after being declared academically ineligible for the 2007 season. This is a kid that would have gone top 20 in next years draft and I know I may seem bias, being a bulldawg, but he would be a great pick up if he drops a few rounds in the Supplemental Draft.

The question is, how far would he have to drop to pick him up?
 
i would be willing for the dolphins to give a 4th if he is there.Oliver would come inn and compete atleast for a nickel back role..Oliver is a talent
 
he would have been a first round pick in next years draft so i would give up a 3rd rouder for the guy plus hes probaslly in shape sice college pctices started already

If he's that good, pop a 3 on him. If he shut down CJ he must have some skills.
 
No question about it. A 3, at most, but I'd be down with that pick.
 
supplemental?

hey there,

once more here comes a question from somebody who - living in germany - is obviously not fully aware of everything there is out there in regard to football, so... :o)

...what is the supplemental draft? :o) a sort of "b-"draft including all the players who where not chosen the first time around plus a couple of guys who hadn't made up their mind at the time of the big one? and is the procedure the same as in the proper draft, with the same draft order etc.?

thanks! :)

none of the players that were available for the draft are available for the supplemental draft. if i recall correctly, the supplemental draft is usually a handful of players that are ineligible for college next year, were ineligible for the regular draft, or some other special situation. teams select in order of the regular draft, and you lose your corresponding pick in the following year's draft. for example, if we select a player in the fourth round of the supplemental draft, we forfeit our fourth round pick in the 2008 draft.
 
This guy shut down Calvin Johnson for 2 catches and 13 yards, crazy. Ranked 2nd best CB going into next years draft behind Antoine Cason and ahead of Justin King on some peoples charts. Crazy. Give up a fourth in a heartbeat if flunking out of school is the only probelm. He actually stated he wanted to come back and graduate instead of declaring for the draft. Interesting player.
 
He's the 6th ranked player per Todd McShay at ESPN. Here's top 6:

1. Brian Brohm, QB, Louisville
Brohm lacks ideal mobility and has experienced some durability issues (thumb and shoulder) over the course of the past year. Otherwise, he possesses all the tangible and intangible qualities of a top-five draft pick. Brohm possesses prototypical size and good arm strength to go along with outstanding decision-making skills and accuracy as a passer. In order to land the top spot in the 2008 draft, Brohm must quickly adapt to new coach Steve Kragthorpe's system and avoid the nagging injuries that have plagued him in the past. 2. Sam Baker, OT, USC
Baker made a wise decision to return for his senior season, allowing him another full year to improve his bulk and strength. If he can carry more weight and become more physical in the run game without it affecting his outstanding feet and quickness, Baker will undoubtedly earn a top-10 spot in next year's draft. Baker will be fighting off Michigan's Jake Long for the honor of top offensive lineman in 2008.
3. Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU
Dorsey is an explosive one-gap defensive tackle with elite initial burst and change-of-direction skills for his size. After splitting time in a rotation behind Claude Wroten and Kyle Williams early in his career, Dorsey experienced a breakout season as a first-year starter in 2006 (64 total tackles, including 8.5 for losses). If he continues to improve his lower-body strength and overall technique as a senior, Dorsey should be the top interior defensive lineman selected in the 2008 draft
4. Jake Long, OT, Michigan
Long could have been a top-10 pick in the 2007 draft but instead elected to return to Ann Arbor for his final season of eligibility. At 6-foot-7, 320 pounds with great experience and quick feet, there's not many holes to pick in Long's game. He missed nearly half of the 2005 season with an ankle injury but returned to form as a full-time starter last year. Another healthy and productive campaign in 2007 should land Long a top-10 spot in next year's draft.



5. Early Doucet, WR, LSU
Doucet has paid his dues as the No. 3 receiver behind a pair of first-rounders in Dwayne Bowe (Chiefs, No. 23 overall) and Craig Davis (Chargers, No. 30 overall). Now it's Doucet's time to shine. The 6-foot, 205-pound speedster should quickly emerge as new starting QB Matt Flynn's favorite target. If Doucet embraces the spotlight and proves capable of handling the double-team attention that comes along with it, he could become the top receiver selected in the 2008 draft.

6. Paul Oliver, CB, Georgia
Oliver is one of the most underrated prospects in the 2008 class right now. This 6-foot, 205-pound cornerback impressed me with his improved coverage skills during the second half of the 2006 season, including a tremendous effort versus former Georgia Tech star WR Calvin Johnson (Lions, No. 2 overall). Don't be surprised if Oliver emerges as a top-10 pick a year from now.
