One prospect stands on top in the 2018 Supplemental NFL Draft.

Its that time once again, time for the Tennessee Titans to start focusing on the Supplemental Draft. Well, alright maybe it is the first time in a few years they actually have to pay attention.

Honestly, for all the talk and fake hype, rarely does a team actually pony up and make a selection even if it is just a late round pick.

Whether it is the lack of time to prepare, the future cost, the fact that GMs try to set their roster by the draft, etc. for whatever reason supplemental drafts just seem to come and go year after year.

This year however is going to be different. Not only will there be a player selected, but there may actually be two or three.

Adonnis Alexander from Virginia is a long defensive back who will get some attention in the later rounds, but it is another CB that will earn the top spot.

Sam Beal CB, Western Michigan is the player turning heads at his decision to declare early. That isn’t the only thing enticing front offices, apparently he ran a 4.4 40 yard dash at his pro day today. That is huge for a guy “listed” as 6’2, 195lb. by his former college.

And this wasn’t a pro day with three agents around pumping a guy up, this was WIDELY attended:

So even the Tennessee Titans were at this thing in some capacity.

Now, should the Titans make a move for Beal or Alexander? No, the price will probably be too high and how they make that work? Are you going to go into the season with a roster six-deep at CB at the expensive of depth at another position?

The one way to really make it work I guess would be to push Smith back to safety and try to trade Sims for someone but again that is all just a string of theories that would take us down a (fun) rabbit hole.

Without some serious moves the Titans couldn’t justify this move, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t pay attention.

Honestly, the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts have two of the bottom-10 DB groups in the NFL and I bet they are looking hard into both of these guys, especially Beal.

I think you have to assume that one of those two will end up in the division before it is all said and done so Titans fans should take notice because this is one of the rare summer moves that a team can make that really does make them better quickly.
