Supplemental Draft

Correct.
It would be worth it because we should be drafting in the bottom half of the draft next year. WR Williams is a top 6 player in this draft. It is a joke the NFL is going to court next week to say WR Mike Williams is not physically ready for the NFL. If the NFL wins this court decision and the following in the Supreme Court, Clarrett and Williams would not be eligible for the 2004 Supplemental draft either. They would have to sit out another year and wait for 2005.
The NFL should lose this ruling in the Supreme Court. However with the political influence the NFL has and these two players do not, the NFL could win next week. Then the NFL should eventually lose in the US Supreme Court. But the 2004 Draft will have already happened because there is not enought time to appeal and have a ruling by the US supreme court before the Draft. The NFL hopes that happens, it would buy them another year..
If Clarrett and Williams win next week, the top 10 picks in the draft will be greatly affected, because Williams is a top 10 pick.

If the Clarett ruling is overturned Clarett could easily file for an injunction to keep the draft from happening till the case is seen. This would put a fire under the supreme court's ass to actually take the case, and take it quick. Angry football fans can do a whole lot when we band together. As of now there are 20 some seperate sects, but see how powerful we can be when we band together!

Williams a top 10 prospect? He's #3 on my WR board alone. No less overall board.

why would we have to give up a pick next year and why would it be a 1st rounder? why would any team pick from this draft if that was the case.

As stated earlier, any pick used in the supplemental draft is taken from the teams draft picks for the following year. We would only give up a first if we bid a first round pick to take him. We could wait and hope no one else uses a first, then we could use a second. Or, we could wait and hope no one uses a second and pick him with our third, etc. etc.

I also think the draft is done on a bidding process - each team faxes in who they want to draft in what round and the player is awarded to the highest pick bid. But don't quote me on that.

If Mike Williams was in teh supplemental draft I doubt he would fall to the third or fourth round. Im sure ith other drafts its just kidna known thta no one is goign to pick a player in the first couple rounds.
