VABills Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Manuel Wright - DL - Player USC defensive tackle Manuel Wright has declared for the NFL supplemental draft. He would have been a starter next season, but was going to be ruled academically ineligible. It's uncertain how high a pick Wright will be, but it sounds like he'll be drafted as a late round pick at best. Might be a good choice to use one of next years 5th or 6th rounders to bring this guy in.

MrLocke Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Good size 6'6 290. Given that he is 6'6 he probably has the frame to put on more weight and become a good run-stuffer.

Low risk.

djh Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Manuel Wright......would have been S.C.'s best lineman this year. Definitely a top 3 offensive lineman in the country. Bills should pull the trigger. How does the supplemental draft work anyways? Do they go off this year's order?
Sound_n_Fury Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Manuel Wright 334618[/snapback] I love Wright's USC webpage bio: "2005: The dominating Wright likely could at defensive tackle as a junior in 2005. He'll sit out 2005 spring drills to concentrate on his academics." Could what??? Maybe the webmaster should think about a few remedial english classes as well!
Dr. Fong Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 If he's too stupid to finish school, we don't need him anyway, (See Dexter Manly) Jeff 334642[/snapback] Yeah it'd be TERRIBLE if he turned into as good of a player as Manley was Seriously, I don't think becoming academically ineligible at USC automatically means that the guy is a rock head.

Do they go off this year's order? 334923[/snapback] Unlike the traditional April NFL Draft, the draft order will be determined by a lottery and will be conducted via email. The supplemental draft is done by e-mail. Each NFL team will have the option of making a selection or passing on making a selection. If an NFL team opts to make a selection, it forfeits a corresponding draft pick in next April’s draft. Per FF Mastermind.com
MrLocke Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 I do not know who if any one Pete Carrol is connected to in the NFL, however I know when Tony Hollings came out of Gerorgia Tech Chan Gailey made many phone calls to make sure he would get selected in the Supplemental draft. Perhaps Carrol would do the same.
Ralonzo Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 If he's too stupid to finish school, we don't need him anyway, (See Dexter Manly) 334642[/snapback] The guy who has more SB rings than Kelly, Reed, Thurman and Bruce combined?
AKC Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Dimitrius Underwood might be a better example of what you're hoping against. There are conflicting stories at this time being offered on LA Sports talk radio regarding his behavior leading to the decision. Yahoo Sports

MadBuffaloDisease Posted May 15, 2005 Posted May 15, 2005 Well the only REAL question as to whether the Bills take him or not is: how much does Krumrie like wrestling this guy?
