I think we've seen how that all works out. I'd dare say they were pretty much identical players.[/quote]

Yes but Troy Smith didn't have a first or second round grade. Scouts knew he was going to be a late round pick. The only time he was mentioned in the first round was when people who only watch college football, and in turn have little idea what pro scouts look for, started suggesting that he should be a first round pick shortly after he won the Heisman.

Pryor even with his average production has been projected as a first round pick for the last two years.

And the funny thing is I'm not even that sure of him, but he's certainly a more promising pro then Troy Smith. Still I think it was unfair that you cast Newton aside before he even took an NFL snap. Appologize to Newton and his family. Not Taylor though, he's to short, short people suck.

LOL. WHAT? I've never heard of Pryor being remotely discussed as such. Links? I assure you, if he were projected that high, he would have came out this year after playing the bowl game.

Sure, but it'll cost them. I'd say his "fee" to play for Auburn will cover it.

id pass on pryor as well. however, i think some team would put in a 2nd or 3rd round pick for him.

Don't you remember? Last year before we traded for McNabb the 2011 class was suppose to be great because then we could possibly get Locker, Pryor, Luck, or Mallet. Those were the four guys. Walter Football also listed Pryor as a First Round pick and USA Today listed him among the top juniors that could declare for the next draft in 2010 along with Andrew Luck.

Edit: Never mind you got here in Late '10.

Re: If Pryor entered the supplemental draft would you pick him.
 

..no!

Re: If Pryor entered the supplemental draft would you pick him.
 

Well from what i hear he is a major project. I'd take him in the 5th round. Being only 17 i have never seen a supplemental draft so i have no idea how it works. In the first round i hope the line backer from boston college comes to us.

What does being only 17 have to do with it? These aren't cicadas

I haven't watched football long enough to have seen one

Re: If Pryor entered the supplemental draft would you pick him.
 

I said "No" to the poll, but if the price is right I'd give him a shot. I'd put a 5th rounder out there for him to give him a shot, but that's it.

Well it's not televised so no one's really seen one. Are you curious as to how it works?

Re: If Pryor entered the supplemental draft would you pick him.
 

Nah.. If we go supplemental on one of those OSU kids (assuming they all come out) is the tackle who is supposed to be a late 1st, mid 2nd round grade. What makes the supplemental draft attractive now is without the benefit of OTAs all rookies will be on an even plane. It's really like getting an extra value pick from the 2011 draft rather than giving up a 2012 pick.

Re: If Pryor entered the supplemental draft would you pick him.
 

No way!! He might be athletic, but is a very immature QB that makes very poor decisions on and off the field. Beck or Grossman would be a lot better than this guy. A wasted pick in my opinion.

Re: If Pryor entered the supplemental draft would you pick him.
 

Kinda, and yea we could load up on rookies this year and be much closer to having all the pieces

Re: If Pryor entered the supplemental draft would you pick him.
 

It amazes me to hear people talk about college qb's. It has become so similar and as polarizing as politics. If a Qb does not have certain labels or buzz words like tall, white kid, pocket passer, pro offense experience then to some it is a waste. That is very narrow minded.
Nearly all college Qb's are not ready for the NLF when they first come out, even the ones that meet these labels.
If your NFL team chooses to rely on a rookie qb to start from day one, your team is doing something seriously wrong with player personnel. It is not an unexperienced and unprepared rookie Qb's fault if he fails, it is the teams FO and coaching staff for putting him in that position.
The question is not do you want Pryor as our starting qb next year. Of course not. The question should be, would you spend a late round pick on a raw, physically talented, project player that will take at least a couple of years to develop. If he ever develops. Someone earlier mentioned RB Royster, well he is no lock either to make it in the NFL. He is a gamble as well. Rb is just an easier position to transition from college to NFL compared to QB, especially on a team that was devoid of RB's as ours was before this draft.
