Here's the scoop on the players for Supplement Draft

While I agree we won't.  We did send someone to Beal's or Anderson's pro day.  

Even if we did I would see any one of the non-playoff teams bidding on him before us.

 

yep, I could see us throwing out a fifth, but we won't get the chance.

This guy is worth it ! 

Brandon Bryant, SS, Mississippi State: There are always spots in the NFL for talented athletes with exceptional physical traits. That's why scouts were paying close attention to Bryant as a prospect after he earned recognition as one of the most explosive college football players in 2016 and '17. Despite failing to perform up to lofty expectations during his pro day, Bryant posted respectable numbers for his position (checking in at 5-foot-11 and 207 pounds with 4.45/4.52 40 times, a 34-inch vertical and a 10-3 broad jump) in front of representatives from 14 teams.

On tape, Bryant flashes decent movement skills, range and toughness, but he isn't a playmaker in the back end. Although he tallied five career interceptions as a Bulldog, he snagged three of those picks in 2015 and didn't make much of an impact after his initial success. With questions surrounding his work ethic, discipline and attention to detail after his on-field (blown coverages) and academic struggles, Bryant is likely to be a seventh round/priority free agent prospect on most boards around the leag

In my mind, you don't dismiss the supplemental draft out of hand.  You have to look at your own needs, consider who will be available respective to each position in next year's draft, assign a valuation, and make a determination from there.

Basically, the smart GM looks at the bigger picture.

As an MSU alum who watched him play in college, I’d pass unless it was a 7th. He had a decent freshmen year then he just ended up having some mental issues. His dad passed away after his freshmen year and unfortunately he just never recovered. His instincts were just awful at some points, he never could figure out how to take the right angle when closing and missed a LOT of tackles

I posted this in one of the other unnecessary 3,000 supplemental draft threads this offseason - but I would probably pass on all of these guys. Maybe burn a 6th or 7th on one of the corners but that would be it. These dudes all have red flags and are accompanied with baggage. The guys that got the boot because of grades, I mean come on bro there are people on campus giving you extra benefits and multiple chances and you still can’t pull in a 1.75 or whatever it is.

    • In May of 2026, it looks like a challenging schedule...and it probably is.  I rarely listen to the "strength of schedule" conversations that light up social media this time of year. Each year teams improve and decline. I think there's chunks of the year we need to take care of business and the week 5 bye is not desired.  I do think if we don't hit the bye week at 3-1, it's going to be a major uphill battle given the schedule in front of us. This season falls on three people, regardless of schedule strength: Canales, Bryce, Evero.  Canales: Finally can truly coach all aspects of the team and not focus with gameday prep for OC duties anymore. He drives the bus and needs to get these guys in position to win each week. There's no way vets come in and put it on the line every week to watch our QB sh!t the bed (See: SF game last year). Bryce: Despite everyone's obsession with thinking Bryce is a guaranteed extension, I think this year will truly be his "prove it" year. If he comes out the way he has the past three years, I really don't see how vets and coaches can continue to put him under center long-term. He might play out that fifth year as the starter, but I think next offseason his long-term replacement is found. I also think there's no excuses with the weapons and commitment we've made on offense to insulate him with every possible weapon.  Evero: Best personnel he's had since he's been here...no excuses. Figure out how to blitz effectively. Figure out how to use CBs whose strengths are press/man. Figure out how to utilize a talented front-7 to get the hell of the field. Outside of FS and maybe....maybe ILB, there are few weaknesses on this unit. 
    • Canales can never get his teams ready in the first week of the season so far. Hope that changes or Ben Johnson is going to take his azz to school.
