Ra'Zahn Howard, DT from Purdue entering Supplemental Draft

[ctrcat]

Interesting mention of KK being the reason he chose Purdue here http://espn.go.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/102233/purdues-howard-the-next-big-thing coach compares to KK

Another site listed him as the #19 DT.  By comparison the #19 DT this year went in the 5th.

Pass. 

 

Log jam at DT rn

Ha! When has a DT from Purdue ever accomplished anything in the NFL?!

I'm in.

I think that the supplemental draft can yield a lot of potential gems. Howard appears to be one of them.  The only question is the compensation.  I know we don't like to rely on comp picks, but depending upon the workout, I might be willing to give up a little sump'm sump'm.

Don't overlook all the tools at your disposal.

The Rams put Battle on their PS last year so we could do the same if we like him.  Paul, KK, and Star are unknowns two years from now, as of now.

All a logjam means is that you probably are assured at least a third round compensatory pick in the future.

Damn a logjam!

The Supplemental Draft Lottery fascinates me.  In theory we could "win" the right to a higher spot in the pecking order over other playoff teams, and, given that we're winning the whole thing anyway, there is possible additional draft pecking order value to be had.  Looks like he has a previous arrest for public intoxication but no additional details.

Despite Gettleman's DT fetish, I don't see this being a possibility.  Anyone else remember The Roscoe Crosby?  Every year supplemental candidates are announced, and almost just as fast, they wash out of the league.

Well damn, you just taught me something. I had no idea that they did a draft lottery before the supplemental draft.

As for the one charge of public intoxication, that's just a stupid kid thing. Doesn't concern me in the slightest.

There is this guy's entire pro day.  Not impressive.  Only 10 teams-NYG, NE, TB, AZ, LA, OAK, WAS, SD, DET, MIA were there.  Likely an uneventful Supplemental Draft.
