USC DT Manuel Wright

[Lee2000]

Apparently, this guy is going to be available through the supplemental draft. He says that teams have told him he is worthy of a late 1st or 2nd round draft pick. Anyone on this board know about him?

He's a 6'6", 290 lbs manchild that backed up Shaun Cody the past two seasons. Manuel was expected to be a starter going into the 2005 season, but his grades have been a problem. He sat out spring drills in attempt to get his grades in order. In limited time, Manuel had 23 tackles with 8 tackles for loss and 2 sacks.

The word on him is that he was dominating in practices.

Sounds like he's the perfect size for a Saban DE.

What are the odds of landing him? I'm not familiar with the supplemental draft.

 

[KB21]

Slim to none, IMO. If you draft a player in the supplemental draft, you have to give up the round pick you used on that player in the regular draft the next year. So, if Miami used a 2nd round pick to take Manuel White, they would have to give up their 2nd round pick in the 2006 Draft. I don't see Nick Saban doing that.

Could he last to the third.

There's no telling. Chances are, he won't get picked and will get to apply as a free agent. Players are rarely selected in the supplemental draft. The last one I can remember was Mike Wahle.

Texans selected GT RB in the 2nd round of the supplemental draft a couple years ago.

The last time was when the Texans picked RB Tony Hollings in the second round of the supplemental draft a few years ago. That was a waste of a pick.

good stuff though, i forgot his name.

 

[KB21]

I forgot about Tony Hollings. Mike Wahle was the last supp. pick that I had remembered.

does it work like the nfl draft all 32 teams pick each round exc.

 

[TarHeelFinFan]

All teams have the option of picking, but they don't have to. If you make a pick you use up that round's pick for the following draft.
