Thanks. So now, how many players were in the Supp Draft? Whatever article I read said there was only 3 or 4 worthy of being picked.

I guess this is what I read...

Supplemental draft features some players to watch

[SBXVII]

I found another article with more names....

2009 NFL Supplemental Draft on July 16 | Bleacher Report

[SBXVII]

All I seem to find is this list of 8...

Here’s a list of the eight players available in this year’s supplemental draft:

Blake Boyd, LB, Western Kentucky
Jeremy Jarmon, DE, Kentucky
Torris Magee, WR, Southern Miss
Dixon McKinner, DE, Texas Tech
Joe McMahon, G, Central Michigan
Demetrice Morley, S, Tennessee
Deon Murphy, WR, Kansas State
Corey Surrency, WR, Florida State

Are any others worth asking to try out?

Well it doesn't cost anything so I would ask McMahon to come in and tryout. He's a 6-3 290lb. center-guard. Maybe Boyd. Has good size for a strongside LB at 6-3 250. He also led his team in tackles but is supposedly an average athlete.

I understand all were in the Supp Draft for a reason and I have not looked at all of them, but I thought perhaps one of the WR's could come in (as if we don't have enough all ready) and challenge for a spot. Then I read up on Corey Surrency...oh my god....

Florida State WR Corey Surrency

Like most players entering the NFL Supplemental Draft, Surrency has a colorful past leading him to the NFL’s special draft.

NCAA denied his request for another year of eligibility. The former Seminole dropped out of high school in the ninth grade and received his GED in jail. After playing for a semi-pro team called the Florida Kings, Surrency (6’4", 226 lbs.) attended El Camino Community College before transferring to FSU in 2008.

In his very limited NCAA career, Surrency, who has great size and the speed to go with it, showed flashes, catching 12 balls for 237 yards (19.8 avg.) and four touchdowns. However there are lingering character issues around this over-aged prospect (25 years old) as he was suspended twice in 2008, missing one game each time for separate off-the-field incidents.

Definitely looks like a non-selection in the Supplemental Draft with some team giving him a shot in training camp or on a practice squad. Reminds me of Arena League player Larry Brackins of the Philadelphia Soul who has had NFL stops with the Jets and Buccaneers.

If Jarmon had entered the 2009 draft as a redshirt junior, under his own choice, would we still have traded up into the third round after the Barnes pick to get him? Or would we have rated him more highly on the board than Barnes?

Because there are a bunch of guys that were given second round grades at that point. Barnes had a second round game from this team. There was probably at least one defensive lineman who would have had a higher grade than Jarmon at the pick.

If he had been in the 2009 regular draft, we would have got a much better idea of his value than the fact that a bunch of teams were willing to take 4th round flyers on him. He probably would have been a 4th or a 5th round pick in last year's draft.

Anyway, there's a huge difference between having a second round grade from the Redskins, and having been a likely second round pick. Every pick on the second day is made by a team who thinks they got a steal.

Anyway, like I said earlier, if we acutally do get a second round pick out of Jarmon, then using a supplemental third on him is a huge steal. But that assessment that Vinny had is a little bit higher than anyone elses assessment. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

It's important to remember that while looking at all the teams that put a claim in the 4th round is one way to judge his value, that still leaves two unanswered questions: 1) how many of those teams were willing to overpay by a round to bolster their defense this year? and 2) why did no team who won more games than us last year think he was worth a third round claim, if in fact he was a potential second round prospect?

This pick was based on a need for the Redskins. Remember Jason Taylor was released and we got only 1year from him. We resign Wynn and Daniels who are both veterans but dont have much left in the tank. Orakpo is not playing DE so far so we needed to add young talent at the DE positon. Our front office graded Jarmon to be a possible 2nd round pick in 2010. Their is no way of knowing this for sure unless he played his senior season which would determine how well he played. So based on Jarmon's talent from his past 3 seasons at Kentucky we really wanted to land him. To ensure we got him we were willing to give up a 3rd pick from the 2010 draft. This worked now we have a young DE to groom this season instead of 2010. Who knows in 2010 he may have been projected to go in the 1st round if he had a monster senior year. Its all a gamble.

I think it a good move. I hope he learns how to play DE in the NFL front the Vets and brings a much needed speed from the edge on passing downs, while haynesworth crashes the middle. As an offensive coordinator I would be having fits planning for this defense.

[Monksdown]

How can you post a poll about a player we picked up 3 days ago, that hasnt played a snap in the NFL, and "don't know yet" isnt an option.

[MTK]

We grade draft picks all the time how is this any different?

Don't like it? Don't vote. "Don't know yet" is a cop out, throw out an opinion that's what we're here for, no?

[jdlea]

I believe it was a good move. I think Jarmon can play and the important thing is that this wasn't trading a draft pick for a 30+ year old player. Jarmon came out of college because he tested positive for a banned diuretic. Hell, Luis Castillo went in the first round of the draft after he used PED's a few years ago. I don't believe there are any red flags in regards to Jarmon and he may be able to contribute some this year, but he should be a much larger contributor next year (which would have been his rookie year had he stayed in school).

[ethat001]

I think this is a good move with small risk. Who knows what round he WOULD've been drafted in.. If he was allowed to play, then he could have had a *great* year or a really crappy year. Nevertheless, his predictions were for a third round pick, right?

Well, here are the third round DE picks over the past few years:

2009
3 4 68 Jarron Gilbert Bears San Jose State
3 6 70 Michael Johnson Bengals Georgia Tech
3 7 71 Matt Shaughnessy Raiders Wisconsin
2008
3 3 66 Kendall Langford Dolphins Hampton
3 9 72 Chris Ellis Bills Virginia Tech
3 17 80 Bryan Smith Eagles McNeese State
3 29 92 Cliff Avril Lions Purdue
2007
3 1 65 Quentin Moses Raiders Georgia
3 20 83 Charles Johnson Panthers Georgia
2006
3 27 91 Frostee Rucker Bengals USC
3 28 92 Jason Hatcher Cowboys Grambling State
2005
3 10 74 Justin Tuck Giants Notre Dame
3 28 92 Vincent Burns Colts Kentucky
2004
3 1 64 Darnell Dockett Cardinals Florida State
3 25 88 Darrion Scott Vikings Ohio State
3 28 91 Tony Hargrove Rams Georgia Tech

DraftHistory.com

Justin Tuck is a star, but it seems like in general third round DE's are hit or miss. Time will tell if it was a good decision or not - but I guess if he turns out halfway decent we've gotten value for our 3rd round pick. And he sure has a great situation being next to AH/AC/Rak..

The flip side is -- are we expecting too much for a DE that was only expected to go in the late early rounds. Of course draft predictions are crap, so we'll never know where he would have been drafted.

Are you surprised? It's FSU, the Dallas Cowboys of the NCAA.

You're right. A conditional yes then, if he's playing 18-20 years olds in a below average college conference next year, then he'll be the 2nd or 3rd best DE in our college conference.
