The NFL supplemental draft is Thursday, and The Feed has a great rundown of the bad picks of supplemental drafts past. Here's one I had kind of blocked out of my memory:Just mention Dave Brown to a Giants fan and you'll get a quick response to how well taking him with what would have been the ninth overall selection in 1993 turned out. Remember to duck when you do the mentioning and don't mention the names of Lincoln Kennedy or Jerome Bettis.
Yes, the Giants used their 1993 first-round pick to take Brown, a quarterback from Duke, in the 1992 supplemental draft. Brown ended up throwing 40 touchdown passes and 49 interceptions in six years with the Giants.
As Pro Football Talk has pointed out, there's rarely a good reason for a player to be available in the supplemental draft: He's usually been kicked out of school for academic reasons (like this year's top prospects, Jared Gaither and Paul Oliver) or told by his coach that he's not welcome back on the team for disciplinary reasons. Occasionally players like that turn out to be reliable players in the NFL, but in general, coaches and general managers would rather build their teams around players who go the traditional route when they enter the NFL.
