The supplemental draft is supposed to be "bargain shopping" you should be able to get Day 1 talent with Day 2 picks. If you rate a guy as a 2nd round talent, then you want to pick him in the 4th round or later in my opinion. I think that this was a reach and I hope that I am not bitching about it still in April.
3rd rounder is a Day 2 pick

For a 3rd rounder this kid better not only make the team but he better be ready to contribute right away. Anyone have any idea of where he would have gone had he gone into the regular draft?
Most scouts thought he'd go as high as 3 to as low as 6 in this years draft, so there is a debate about his talent level. He had a good year in '07 but obviously didn't play last year. Since we coughed up a 3rd I expect him to contribute some this season but hopefully he'll have a bigger role in 2010. I think Buzbee gets cut, and Jarmon has a chance to backup one of the starting end's.

When we pick 32nd next year, that 3rd will essentially be a 4th. :)

Edit: I misread your post...or did I? The ol' Warpath version of the "Jedi mind Trick"
Yes but it is still practically day 1 talent. I just think its too high now matter how you think about it.

Wynn is done anyway, and buzbee is a bumb! This kid might be something you never know, plus he will come in and bust it because he won't have another chance in the league if the skins don't keep him.
Buzbee is a bumb? Kind of harsh on ole boy aren't you?

1) So you think Vinny, Zorn and Blache are all lying about him playing DE in passing situations?
Lying is a strong word... I think he'll line up at DE about as much as Marcus Washington did.
Conspiracy much? Not a conspiracy, just a smart move from a PR perspective. However, PFT did report that the Lions would have taken him with their 4th if we didnt take him with our 3rd, so i'm less annoyed with the price we paid for him.
If we don't make any trades we will net 6 players from the 2010 draft but will have an extra years experience out of one of them. I thought for sure the Eagles and Giants had double digit draft picks. Guess i was mistaken. Its good to know we wont be as far behind everyone as we were this year.
I don't see how this can be viewed as a bad move. We're going to have another player this season and while we're not using this pick in April we're still going to have our 2010 3rd round pick on the roster. And considering he will be able to learn from guys like Daniels and Wynn, who probably won't be here next year, he has the opportunity to learn from some of the toughest, classiest, veteran DEs out there. Hopefully, he will take full advantage of the opportunity.

Not anymore, 3rd rounder is a Day 2 pick...but yeah I see your logic. I think that 3 was too high though. We'll see.

Wait, didn't I just say 3rd rounder is a day 2 pick? Why'd you say not anymore?

I mis-read your post and now I'm all confused.
Lets keep it simple. I would have been ok with a 4th round pick. 3 was too high IMO.
