Supplemental Draft: Would you spend a 2nd round pick on Josh Gordon?
http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/81...ay-source-says
Former Baylor wide receiver Josh Gordon, who has declared for Thursday's supplemental draft, is scheduled to hold his pro day on Tuesday at the Houston Texans' training facility, according to a league source. Multiple NFL teams are expected to attend, and the 6-foot-3, 225-pound Gordon is expected to be timed in the 40-yard dash in the 4.4s or better. A source told ESPN.com's James Walker the Buffalo Bills will attend Gordon's workout. One NFL scout said Gordon could go as high as the second round, and he is considered a rare talent as far as supplemental drafts go. Gordon spent last season out of football after Baylor dismissed him from the team in August 2011. Gordon then transferred to Utah but had to leave the school for the supplemental draft for financial reasons. |

Wide receiver Josh Gordon headlines NFL supplemental draft options
By The Sports Xchange | The SportsXchange – 9 hours ago The NFL supplemental draft is scheduled for Thursday, and former Utah and Baylor wide receiver Josh Gordon is generating significant buzz entering his workout at the Houston Texans' indoor practice facility Tuesday. Josh Gordon gets tackled against Syracuse during his abbreviated stint with Baylor. (US Presswire)Gordon, a 6-foot-4, 220-pound receiver, never played for the Utes. He sat out last season as a transfer from Baylor. As a sophomore in 2010, he caught 42 passes for 714 yards and seven touchdowns. Gordon is one of eight players confirmed eligible for Thursday's draft. Teams making selections submit bids to the league office and sacrifice the corresponding pick in the 2013 NFL draft. Scouts are sure to be interested in hearing from Baylor coach Art Briles and Utah coach Kyle Willingham. Briles suspended Gordon after a marijuana arrest and the receiver was suspended indefinitely prior to the 2011 season, leading him to transfer to Utah. Willingham said the Utes did plenty of homework and felt Gordon deserved a second chance. His on-field ability is NFL-caliber. NFLDraftScout.com calls Gordon "rough around the edges as a receiver. He is a long-striding runner with the build-up speed and fluidity to make plays after the catch. Gordon is raw as a route-runner and has only one true season of playing experience in college." Gordon has the skill set to warrant consideration in the first four rounds.

a third or fourth though, if not just for his raw ability.

Too raw for my liking. I don't even think I'd waste a 3rd on him, considering he hasn't played for 2+ years.

If it gets rid of McCluster for good, then I'll trade the entire draft for him

Of all the supplemental draft candidates I can remember, I only ever wanted Jared Gaither and Paul Oliver. At the time I was surprised they went for a 4th and 5th respectively.

A 2nd? No way.
6th or 7th sure.

I'm with Detox.
I'd throw in a 7th, probably. |

Personally, I agree with Direckshun and Detox that he is a later pick in the supp draft. 4th-7th rd grade with me being more likely to draft him in the later rounds in the supplemental draft. If he had a full year at Baylor last year, he probably could have had a 800yds+ season with 7+ tds. Probably would be 3rd rounder. 6'3/4 at 220ish and a 4.3 mid, 4.4 40 is great. Pretty fast with pads as well if you watch some tape. Has good hands, speed, but very rough as a route runner. If I was fairly sure we would not be able to resign Bowe in the 10mil/year range, I would definitely target him, as I feel we have a solid WR coach.

As a WR I'd rather have Copper.
Dex is just to short/small to be a NFL WR. See Dante Hall. One play here or there, but not consistent enough full-time.

I still live in a fantasy land where I actually think KC will one day use multiple draft picks to grab a franchise QB prospect. For that reason I wouldn't give up a 2nd.
