**** it, let's do this: Jared Gaither.

Direckshun · 07-07-2007, 12:38 AM

Obviously if we could snag this guy with a 3rd of 4th, we pull the trigger. Probably not going to happen, though. This guy won't make it out of the 2nd round in the Sup Draft.

But let's say we do land him. He's our stud LT. What happens now?

Give me your opening day OL. Does Gaither even make it? (Of course he does.)

LT -- Gaither, Svitek
LG -- Waters, Bober
C -- Wiegmann, Niswanger
RG -- McIntosh, Welbourne
RT -- Terry, Sampson

Or..... shall we get experimental and make the most out of our talent?

LT -- Gaither, Svitek
LG -- McIntosh, Bober
C -- Waters, Wiegmann
RG -- Welbourne, Taylor
RT -- Terry, Sampson

No way Gaither would start as a rookie. I wouldn't mind drafting him but he is raw and I think he would need a year or two to develop.

I became skeptical when I read that our franchise left tackle would be available in the 3rd round of the supplemental draft.

It's true... the guy's not bright.

But when projected 1st round talent makes it to the Sup Draft, it often slides down to the 2nd or 3rd.

Alright, would someone explain to me the process of the supplemental draft?

From my understanding you bet your pick (which ever round) on a player if someone does not outbid you for the player then you use that pick of next years draft..

So we use a 4th, some picks him with another 4th or higher they would receive the player for that pick next next year.. If we get him for our 4th then we lose that pick next year...

At least thats how I think it works...

The supplemental draft is held for players who for whatever reason didn't qualify, declare, etc. for the draft. There are generally not more than a couple of players that are in this draft. In the original draft order though teams may submit selections for these players in rounds 1-7. The catch though, is if you use a pick on a player from this draft, you lose that pick in that round in next years draft. It's a little complicated, but there are generally a couple of guys taken a year in later rounds.

So you can, but you don't have to? When is this draft?

**luv** · 07-07-2007, 01:04 AM

I don't mean to cause you all to go off on a tangent. This is just another aspect of football I've yet to learn about. If I'm going to lurk, I'd like to understand what it is I'm reading.

You don't have to.

The Sup Draft is on July 10th.

**The Franchise** · 07-07-2007, 02:13 AM

I thought it was July 12th.

Zeke Ziggle · 07-07-2007, 03:25 AM

Im not too sure about this because of i have a very limited understanding of college football but i thought oliver was the guy who was the top prospect in this draft. so why would we be unlikely to gaither in the third?

Turns out his personal numbers have been bloated.

When Oliver met and had a workout with the 20-some teams that are interested in him, he registered as a few inches shorter, a few pounds lighter, and a few ticks slower than has been advertised by his college.

He didn't impress, but I have no doubt that Herm's still interested. No doubt other teams remain interested as well, so while I wouldn't be surprised if the Chiefs did bid for him, I doubt he'll make it all the way to us.

I'll be very surprised in Gaither even makes it out the second -- he hasn't had a Pro Day workout to hurt his official numbers and teams are enamored with OTs that are massive, athletic, with unlimited upside that remind them of John Ogden. The Chiefs would be wise to throw a pick at him in the 3rd if he gets that far.

arrowheadsoldier · 07-07-2007, 03:35 AM

It's simple just because he is the top prospect doesn't mean he will be chosen first, OT's are hard to come by, and CB's well not so much.

arrowheadsoldier · 07-07-2007, 03:37 AM

Direckshun I like the way you think with the o-line package you put together that would be sweet, and I really hope Svitek can be what everyone thinks he can be.
