njbuff Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 Adonis Alexander is a talented, but troubled, now former VT DB that will be available in the upcoming supplemental draft. Should the Bills go after this talented kid with a high draft pick or just let the process play out and see if they can get him as a priority FA. Another very versatile kid that McDermott seems to gravitate towards, so who knows. Thoughts?
Buffalo716 Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 I would spend a 5th-7th but i Wouldn’t spend a 1st , 2nd or 3rd 3
Aussie Joe Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 Talented but troubled you say? Im not seeing the McBeane fit.. 3

ghostwriter Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 We want process guys, character guys. I'd be shocked if we go after him. 2
Augie Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 No idea who this is. “Adonis” sounds good, but not good enough to overcome “troubled”. 1

FistingBot Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 (VT season ticket holder here) Adonis was ruled academically ineligible so he applied for the supplemental draft. In today's day and age of tutors and sham majors for players it's almost impossible to not maintain a "C" average unless you're just really unmotivated. Adonis is a good player, but nothing special. I've seen many better corners at Tech in my 30 or so years of following the team. I'd pass on him. 3 2

1st Ammendment NoMas Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 oh man, I want to officially end it with "I love awesome reaches that may work." Its good that someone is doing homework on possible adds, as I am sure the Bills are actively looking to keep every position open to competition and may the best man win!

Team that is awarded the player has spent the corresponding pick in the 2019 draft 1
Jamie Nails Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 Damn. You guys beat me to it. Would love to have a player we can call adorable Adonis Alexander
TigerJ Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 7 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: Can someone refresh me on the rules of the supplemental draft? The order is the same as in the most recent draft, and if you pick a player in the supplemental draft. If you go through the first round and nobody picks a player, they go to the second round, etc. Any team picking a player gives up their pick in the same round in the draft next year.

(and also to 26CB and TigerJ) Sounds like a steep price to pay for a "talented but troubled" guy who couldn't maintain a C average and stay in school
