Thursday Notes: 2010 NFL Supplemental Draft Set For Today

Print- The 2010 NFL Supplemental Draft is scheduled for today. The way it works is that teams submit if they want to make any picks via e-mail, noting the player they want to pick and in what round. Players are taken based on if any team submitted a bid for them, and they are taken by the team with the highest bid. Teams that make picks in the Supplemental Draft lose an equivalent pick in the next year's regular NFL Draft. (If the Lions submitted a fourth-round pick for someone and got him, then they'd lose a fourth-rounder in 2011.)
The four players eligible to be picked in this year's Supplemental Draft are Illinois defensive tackle Josh Price-Brent, BYU running back Harvey Unga, Northwestern State running back Quentin Castille and Truman State wide receiver Vanness Emokpae. Unga is the most likely to be picked based on the interest he's received (the Lions were one of 20 teams to attend his workout), so it will be interesting to see what round he goes in if a team does select him.
UPDATE: The Bears selected Unga and the Cowboys took Price-Brent in the seventh round. - Good news from Kevin Smith on Twitter:
No swelling after speed work and sled pulls now ice bags lunch and the pool untill the sun goes down
No swelling is great sign for someone recovering from an ACL injury, so let's hope that continues to be the case as he prepares for training camp. - Smith is looking forward to competing for a starting spot at running back with Jahvid Best.
- It looks like the over/under for wins next season is going to be five based on what some sports books are saying.
- Cliff Avril is holding a ticket giveaway contest.

Good news on Smith
I don’t think the Lions will target any of the 4 but Unga but i think he will go to Seattle.
Unga will be a Fullback in the NFL
But I see your point.

Over under of 5 seems reasonable
I’ll go with a push or over by 1.

Smith news is fan-fuckin-tastic
Best is gonna be bananas this year for us, but he’s not an every down back, and I have very little faith in Maurice Morris. We need Smith from day one to be the Thunder to Best’s Lightning.
Great to hear K smooth is on the mend
We need him more than people sometimes think like mowtown said. The thunder to best lightning especially sense we dunno how long and IF Javid can hold up to the hits he’s gonna take.

But...
do we keep Morris for depth or is he gone. I think there’s a good chance we see Aaron Brown playing WR alot more this season, or possibly have Brown be Best’s backup and Morris be Smiths backup, and keep them all in situational positions, I guess. That way 4 rb’s are justified. I’d hate to cut Morris, then have Smith get hurt and then Brown or Best have to carry the load.
Glad to see Smith is recovering nicely.
Not much news on Pettigrew. I hope he makes it back as well. He will be a big part in the offense and I would love to see him play more than a few games in a season.
