Do you think Tony Hollings was a better prospect than Ahmad Brooks?

If You do, you're either lying or have no ideas what you're talking about
If you don't than history should tell you Tony Hollings cost the 33rd pick overall.

After seeing Brooks dominate year after year I could definately see a team use their first rounder on him.

Are you people naive enough to think smoking weed has an adverse effect on these guys ability to perform? the only risk with weed in the NFL is getting caught. Just ask Ricky W who put up close to 1500 yards on the ground high as a kite or Randy Moss who broke recieving records dubing it up like he sang with the Wailers.

Texans take Hollings in supplemental draft

NFL.com wire reports
(July 10, 2003) -- The Houston Texans selected Georgia Tech running back Tony Hollings with the 32nd pick in the second round of the NFL Supplemental Draft.

The Texans will give up the 2004 second-round draft choice they received from the Oakland Raiders for taking Hollings.

"We are excited about drafting Tony," Texans general manager Charley Casserly said. "He showed excellent promise as a player last year."

"I'm excited to be a Texan," Hollings said. "I haven't stopped smiling since I found out. I've come a long way and I'm excited to show what I can do."

On May 15, Hollings was one of 10 Yellow Jackets declared academically ineligible for the coming season, so he entered the supplemental draft. Hollings worked out for numerous NFL teams July 1, posting 17 reps at 225 pounds and jumping 36.5 inches.

The supplemental draft is designed for special-cases prospects. If a player was no longer eligible to play on the college level and missed the deadline for the NFL draft, he could become eligible. There have been a total of 32 players taken overall in the previous 26 supplemental drafts. Teams can opt to not make a pick if they so desire.

The Houston Texans chose former Florida State guard Milford Brown with a sixth-round choice in last year's supplemental draft.

From what I'm hearing the Niners are definitely interested.

As probably the consensus worst team in the league...they better be willing to give up next year's #1 draft pick to get him then.

There are going to be some teams interested in him in the bottom of the first.

if the briggs situation doesn't get taken care of I wouldn't mind seeing the Bears give up a high draft pick... I wouldn't mind seeing the Bears use the 32 overall pick on him...

and if the Briggs situation is fixed and they get Brooks anyway... the Bears would have a lb trio that may ricals Wilson, Singletary, and Marshall...

1) They won't be the worst team in the league.
2) No way in hell they give up a 1st for him. I doubt anyone will.

Who's ceiling is higher? DeMeco Ryans (the #1 pick in the second round this year)....or Ahmad Brooks?

I'm not saying that Brooks will definitely go in the first...but it won't suprise me if he does.

I just think you have to take into account his numerous attitude and off the field problems and weigh that against the value of the pick you are going to have to give up..

Problems acknowledged.

Nobody is drafting him to be NFL Man of the Year.
They will be drafting him to knock people out.

I mean...if someone takes a chance on drafting a Matt Jones in the first round...why wouldn't you also consider Brooks? The risk of not panning out is no different.

I've got a poll on this over on the official Bears' messageboard. So far...15/44 would take this guy in the first or second round. On a team that already has 2 Pro-Bowl Linebackers.

I feel that you underestimated what kind of impact Brooks could bring to a team.

Brooks will not go in the 1st in the Supplemental draft. I would bet large sums of cash on it. Matt Jones is obviously a much different prospect. A quarterback with the speed, size, and athleticism to play WR. ****, he could be the #2 quarterback on the roster, as well as a starting wideout.

Brooks is a baller. If he didn't **** up he would be a legit 1st rounder. Stock plummets when you get into trouble. See: AJ Nicholson. He isn't helping Brooks' case at all.
