Two more enter supplemental draft

Two more players have entered next month's supplemental draft.

Vaness Emokpae, a multi-position player from Truman State, is entering the draft. He led Truman in rushing and receiving last season. He played a variety of positions in college.

At 5-foot-11 and 245, he projects as a fullback or H-back in the NFL. Don't expect him to be drafted.

Also in the mix is former Illinois defensive tackle Josh Price-Brent. Listed at 6-foot-2 and 315 pounds, he's a slow-footed plugger in the middle. He started 12 games for Illinois in 2009, totaling 29 tackles, seven tackles for loss, three sacks and three forced fumbles.

He was ruled academically ineligible for the season. He's also had some run-ins with the law, including a DUI and a suspended license.

There is plenty of off-the-field issues for teams to shy away from using a pick on Price-Brent. Still, someone could use an extra seventh on him.

Quentin Castille?

Quentin Castille, the highly touted tailback who transferred to Northwestern State from Nebraska, has left the Demons, saying he plans to enter the NFL supplemental draft according to The Town Talk.

Castille spent just one disappointing season at NSU, working mostly as a backup to William Griffin. Castille rushed for 349 yards — averaging 3.3 yards a carry — and one touchdown on 107 carries in 11 games. He also fumbled four times.

“I can’t really talk about the situation at Northwestern State,” Castille said Friday when reached by phone. “I made the decision to leave. I think the best decision for me is to enter the draft.”

The NFL draft is April 22-24. Castille will not be eligible for that because he missed the filing deadline for college underclassmen. A supplemental draft will be conducted in July.

The NFL began conducting a supplemental draft in 1977 for players who missed the deadline to declare for the regular draft or lost their college eligibility after the draft.

There are typically a handful of players in the supplemental draft. Teams, selecting in the same order as the regular draft, either pick a player or pass. A team that selects a player in the supplemental draft forfeits the corresponding selection in the following year’s draft.

This is from back in March so I don’t know if he changed his mind or whatnot.

McShay, Todd McShay you hear me boy? It's me TJ and I'm coming for your damn job boy! Oh be scared, be very scared McShay.

I don't know about Castille

but Oregons QB, Jeremiah Masoli will probably be the next one to enter the supplemental draft. I would not be surprised if the Redskins made a 6th rd. offer on Price-Brent, their NT situation is going to become critical soon & they might start reaching & hoping
