Weslye Saunders Supplemental Draft?

[scpanther22]

What would you give up for him?

Because former University of South Carolina tight end Weslye Saunders has been declared ineligible for the NFL draft due to a paperwork issue, he's also ineligible to participate in the NFL scouting combine.

League sources with knowledge of the situation have informed National Football Post that Saunders had been invited to the combine, but now that invitation has been rescinded.

What happened?

According to sources, Saunders and his representatives didn't petition the NFL to be included in the draft eligible list to be given special eligibility. Saunders was a senior, but didn't play for the Gamecocks last season due to an NCAA inquiry and violations of team rules.

who?

[GritsRgreat]

Has the size and skills to be a great NFL tightend. Does he have the brains for it??

A 3rd in 2012

would be worth a 3rd... but is sounding more and more like a tool... with an OC that was a former TE coach with pupils like Antonio Gates, and Rivera proclaiming we need a do-it-all TE, I could definitely see us taking a gamble.

Not sure if they can have a supplemental draft until a new CBA is signed. The only reason we can have a regular draft is because it was written into the prior agreement to have it even if the CBA expires. If the supplemental wasn't included in that agreement, it can't happen until a new one is implemented.

Definitely a supplemental draft option. I saw Saunders being to TE in the draft what Pike and Gettis were to QB and WR, only hopefully more like Gettis in terms of success and promise >.>

I expect at least two DTs and two TEs in this draft tbh. I wouldn't be surprised with one TE, but who knows.

[rayzor]

i wouldn't give up much for him. why would they?

6th round pick if we dont draft a TE

[jasonluckydog]

W will be a star in the NFL

He is a talent for sure..Kind a bigger Jared Cook Jr. for the Titans who came on late last season. He is a basketball player and has natural athletic ability. If its a low round pick for him its a no brainier.

I would have been excited to see the Panthers draft him in the 4th..but the alarm is now..is this guy just a total idiot...if not then hes a keeper.
