If Pryor Enters the Supplemental Draft...

RaiderNation · 06-01-2011, 03:31 PM

Rumors are Terrelle Pryor could be leaning toward entering the supplemental draft instead of dealing with what's going on at Ohio State. What teams could you see Pryor going to? What round?

The first team that came to mind for me is the Dolphins. They didn't add a young QB to be behind Henne, and Pryor could see time as a wildcat QB early on. Another team could be the Raiders since we were rumored to be targeting Kaepernick but missed out on him and Pryor brings a lot of the same attributes to the table. Plus Al would like Pryor's strong arm and athleticism.

What about the Redskins? A lot of people thought they'd add one on draft day and they didn't.

And I don't know much about Pryor (I don't watch OSU), but doesn't he suck?

Ya that's another team that could has Pryor on their radar. I don't like Pryor that much as a prospect and probably wouldn't touch him until the 4th round, but in this QB driven league some team will be desperate enough to take a chance on him

4th round at the earliest and slipping every day as his character flaws get unraveled by the day.

Duffman57 · 06-01-2011, 04:06 PM

Yah, i would say he'd be a 5th round pick, or somewhere around there for the supp draft, and i think that the Chargers are actually a very interesting situation for him. The chargers have shown that their not affraid to loose picks in upcoming drafts, and they have shown that if they like a guy, they will take him in the Supp draft. With the type of athlete Pryor is, they could give him a shot at WR as a QB convert (another thing that they have shown to do) and we have the coaching to make an athlete into a WR.

If Chicago took him with a 7th, I wouldn't be pissed because we really need a tall receiver. But there is no way he falls that far.

Some team will likely use a 4th and maybe even a 3rd rounder after he destroys the offseason workouts. If Cam Newton can go first overall, I don't see a reason why a team can't spend a mid round pick on Pryor.

Pryor would still throw less picks than Cutler if you put him at QB. :)

^Newton is a better football player, athlete, and QB in every way imaginable. Pryor's release is so slow, his final pass attempt still hasn't left his fingers yet.

not sure about the athlete part but the rest is correct

Parcells said one of his biggest mistakes was drafting Pat White. I know he's not running the team anymore but his value and philosophy I have to imagine still run deep with those who do. I can't see them making that mistake again.

A post like this without a token Raiders mention is a travesty (sorry). If they liked Kaepernick, no reason not to spend a 3rd-4th rounder on Pryor. Toss in the fact that I would bet some teams would ask him to work out at WR, it could get interesting.

If it weren't for the Raiders, I would have a hard time seeing anybody projecting him as an NFL quarterback. If Al Davis is locked safely in his crypt, and NFL teams don't like the thought of taking on a big-time project at WR in an abbreviated season, I wouldn't be surprised if he went in the 7th or didn't get chosen in the supplemental draft at all.

Beats me, I'm in Pittsburgh.

Pryor is not NFL QB material. I thought that maybe he'd develop enough to be worth a team taking a shot at him, but he's not an NFL quality passer and he has maturity and character questions. He might as well do whatever NFL teams want or he'll have a short NFL career.

niel89 · 06-01-2011, 07:01 PM

5th rounder at the max. He just isn't that good of a player and all these Ohio st troubles don't add to his value. Yes Pryor has great athletic ability but he isn't nearly the QB Kaepernick or Newton were.

underscore · 06-01-2011, 08:54 PM

Is Pryor even open to playing another position? If he says 'no', that also hurts him.

Then he has join the UFL or AFL.

Pryor to the Roughriders!!!!

He does have the makings of a darn good CFL quarterback, might not be the worst career move for him. He can get into a CFL camp, get paid for the next year, and try to hook on to an NFL team after this labor mess is done and he'll avoid any messy court fight about the legitimacy of the supplemental draft.

Ummm CFL QB's need to be able to pass.

GaMeTiMe · 06-02-2011, 01:15 AM

Not sure whatever team he goes to (if any?) has him active on game days. I don't think he necessarily goes to a 'QB-needy team'.

ellsy82 · 06-01-2011, 10:44 PM

Wouldn't be a bad move from him if he wants to make some quick coin. Rookie wage scale will probably be less than what he'd make in the 2011 season as an undrafted free agent (I kid...or do I?).

Saints-Tigers · 06-02-2011, 03:07 AM

Saints should take him late, try having Drew Brees, Sean Payton, Pete Carmichael and Chase Daniel tutor him. If he can't develop his skills as a passer with them, there is 0 hope.

jnew76 · 06-02-2011, 03:19 AM

Pryor is a receiving TE/hybrid WR if anything in the NFL. Split him out in the red zone... Have him work the middle on passing downs between the 20's.
