I say sign all of them. The defense can use all the help out can get.

If they can transition smoothly from 2nd string to 1st string at a high level then I'd go for it. If not, hold onto the picks to select a passrusher in the 2019 draft. |
How does the contract work for a supplemental draft player? Similar to UDFA? Or slot them at the same range as a regularly drafted player?
Just wondering what control you have over a player taken in the SD. If its limited, might be too risky to spend a high pick. |

I would look to use a high pick to draft a Dline (another Chris Jones if possible) to replace Allen Bailey before adding another OLB. This defense is a good 3-4 end and a CB away from being a top 10 unit and more. I still don't get how Veach went from trying to sign Lotulelei, Sheldon Richardson, Kyle Fuller, to not doing anything to strengthen those two positions, which are the only potential weaknesses on the defense IMO, not counting injuries. |

I'm not super familiar with how Beal or Alexander have been projected in their draft classes- what I've read is that Beal is considered by some to be a top 5 corner this upcoming season in the NCAA (or at least would have been). Veach seems like an aggressive GM as we've seen a flurry of moves since he's taken over. Also we do have two 2nd round picks but a 2nd round pick is a massive price to pay- the Chiefs next season will have a ton of flexibility to move up early in the draft if they chose to hold onto those picks.
10 corners were taken in the first two rounds in the 2018 NFL draft and the 2017 NFL draft- if you're confident that Beal or Alexander are for sure going to be top 10 talents at the corner position then I feel as if it's a good gamble. I'm not sure if Veach is as worried about the corner position as much as Chiefsplanet is though. |
This will be an interesting supplemental draft.. You also have S Brandon Bryant (Miss State) who is a fast mo-fo.
I would at least put the fifth on these... would definitely consider the 3rd. But, of course, we have no idea what other issues these players bring... I assume teams can work them out ahead of the draft? |
why the **** not? id put in a bid on two corners and wed be lookin pretty good if we got two solid prospects. were in a bit of an odd place with mahomes contract we need to grab talent like this as cheap as possible and make this push.

For comparison sake I looked back at what people were saying about Josh Gordon before the supplemental draft:
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d...-teams-buzzing A couple things from that article that stand out: 1. 21 teams showed up to Gordon's workout, therefore I'm assuming that Beal and Alexander will have a similar workout in July. From which teams show up will be a good indication of who is interested and how sought after these players are- I'd be surprised if the Chiefs didn't at the very least attend. 2. The article at the end predicts that the Browns would use a 3rd round pick to grab Gordon who was generating quite a bit of intrigue. The Browns ended up using their 2nd round pick to select Gordon. The Browns finished 4-12 during the 2011-12 season so they would have beaten all but two teams assuming everyone "bidded" a 3rd round pick. It will be easier to understand which round of pick will need to be used in order to have a chance at one of these guys after their workouts. |
think i'll stick with bidding a 3rd for Beal, pass on the other guys

NFL Draft Scout has 2018 supplemental draft qualifier CB Sam Beal ranked #30 among 2019 CBs. Their #30 ranked CB in 2018, Brandon Facyson, went undrafted.
NFL Draft Scout has 2018 supplemental draft qualifier FS Brandon Bryant ranked #4 among 2019 FSs. Their #4 ranked FS in 2018, Tarvarius Moore, was drafted with pick #95. Adonis Alexander was unranked by NFL Draft Scout. A third round pick for Bryant would be justified, imo. |
