S Jalen Thompson - Supplemental Draft


Recommended Posts

Anyone know much on the kid?  

Looks to have been a projected 2nd/3rd round in 2020 as a FS.  Entering Supplemental Draft that is around the corner after being denied eligibility for 2019.

6'0.  195 lbs. Looks like has had 40 yard times in the 4.35 to 4.43 range (I've seen multiple ones listed).  Reviews said better in man coverage, not the best tackler.  Used in slot coverage his year as a starter.

If, hypothetically, the Panthers were to target him in the supplemental draft, we'd be bidding using a future draft pick.  As in, using a 2020 3rd round pick, for example, to take him.

Some big boards for next year's draft are already out.  

He was rated at #114, #69, #175, #152, and #181.   No one has him worth a 2nd round pick.  

I don't know how the supplemental draft works, but I suppose he'd be worth a 6th or 7th next year to provide some depth this year.

I wonder what he did to be ruled ineligible? That could potentially have a huge impact on his value.

If we clear him off the field, I sure hope we put our scouts to work on this guy to come up with a value for him. I have serious questions about whether or not Gaulden is the solution and holy poo balls if either he or Reid missed time due to injury.

We are one vet safety away from having good depth on our entire defense (every team has one weak spot). I know we are all anxious......but........we will sign a vet before the season starts for competition/depth. We should all want Gaulden to succeed, and to have a vet for insurance. No need to trade away future draft picks on a gamble that is the supplemental draft.

The Spokesman-Review’s Theo Lawson is reporting that it’s a PED violation stemming from the purchase of an over-the-counter supplement that was “not a steroid.” According to NCAA rules, a PED violation carries a mandatory one-year suspension. In theory, Thompson could have redshirted and come back in 2020 for a fifth year, but it makes little sense for him to do so.

On one site I saw him rated as a late 2nd/3rd round pick, but either way.  The way the Supplemental Draft works, as I understand it, is that, generally speaking, you make blind bids.  While there is still a "draft order", that is more of a tie breaker.  You bid with a future draft pick.  Example.  Lets say the Saints, Panthers, and Bucs all want this guy.  The draft order in this hypothetical is Bucs -> Panthers -> Saints.  Bucs "bid" a 2020 5th round pick.  Both Panthers and Saints bid a 4th round pick.  The bidding is blind, you don't know what others bid.  In this scenario the Panthers would win, due to bidding the highest (with the Saints) and then having the higher "draft order" being the tie breaker.

I'd say wing a fourth rounder at him. If it works, we get a potentially decent young safety. If it doesn't, we're no worse off than before.

And a fourth round pick isn't going to break our draft like throwing a second or third rounder might.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
