Charlotte native, CB Adonis Alexander, entering Supplemental Draft

[LinvilleGorge]

If academics are his only off field concern then I’m not too concerned. 

We should absolutely be doing our homework on this guy.

It's hard to say what pick I would use on him without being able to talk to him, which obviously I can't do.  Academic ineligibility isn't the worst thing in the world, but it could be a sign that he's lazy.  I mean, unless he's dumb, all you gotta do is try in class to stay eligible.  I mean you just need a what, 2.0 GPA to play in the NCAA?

Probably a decent chance that he mailed it in last year academically planning to enter the 2018 draft but then after having a relatively lackluster season he decided to try to go back to school instead but the academic damage had already been done.

3rd.....3rd....3rd!!!!!

We get a comp pick for Norwell right?????? ...

Serious talent ..

But then again, we are already so young at that position .....

How many young corners do we need on one team?  Most everyone on this board wants to keep 6 corners that we already have on the roster now and you want to add another?  Ron has never kept 6 active corners on the team going into the season and you add this guy and you want to keep 7?  I don't see it.

[Ricky Spanish]

I'd drop nothing higher than a 5th. 

Generally speaking, players don't tend to get drafted in the supplemental draft.

Quantity doesn’t necessarily equate to quality. We have a lot of CBs. I’m not certain that we have any quality CBs. Sometimes you just have to keep throwing mud at the wall until something sticks.

I also wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of teams weren’t evaluating this guy as a potential safety anyway.

 I wait to see if he drops to the 6th.

I might move him to S.

He is a bit inconsistent-on and off field.

As a hokie fan, wouldn't mind him. But good grief last year was forgettable. Big time athlete though. Greg Stroman outplayed him all year and didn't garner a 4th. And stro had good return skills.

 

Not really buying into him here unless it's a 5th knowing he is a ST gunner at best this year and. A stash for later.

There's no "waiting" in the supplemental draft. You bid a pick by the round and if multiple teams bid picks in the same round, then it reverts to the same drafting order as the regular 2018 NFL draft.

This kid has convert me to FS written all over him.

Makes sense.  I bid our 6th.

That is my thinking.

Pretty much, but the order is actually determined by lottery.  The 32 teams are separated into 3 tiers based on last year’s results, then a weighted lottery determines the actual order.
