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.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
