Tweet of the Day: Could Redskins be players in the Supplemental Draft?

The Supplemental Draft will be held on Wednesday, July 11, and this year there are five eligible players.

Success stories are few and far between; the most notable player in recent history selected in the Supplemental Draft was Josh Gordon in 2012, who the Browns relinquished a second-round pick for.

Eric Galko at Optimal Scouting predicts the Redskins will select Adonis Alexander, a 6’3”, 193-pound cornerback from Virginia Tech, who’s entering the Draft because of academic ineligibility this school year. Teams that use a pick in the Supplemental Draft lose an equivalent pick the following year; however, because the Redskins have 11 picks in 2019, it could make sense for a talented prospect.

Do you think the Redskins will surprise the NFL by picking a player in the Supplemental Draft? Why or why not?
