Tipster19 Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 I see that a couple of secondary players are entering it. I was wondering if either of them could be of help to us or if there is any other player(s) that could be of use, someone like a OL.

Tipster19 Posted June 6, 2018 Author Posted June 6, 2018 Now that I think about it, could there be anyone worthwhile in the CFL as well. I can’t believe that out of a whole league that there can’t be a prospect or two out of there. WR and OL is what I’m hoping the Bills will scour for.

The CFL is cracking down on players under contract from moving to the NFL. Here is an article about it. http://www.cbc.ca/sports/football/cfl/cfl-players-under-contract-nfl-opportunities-1.4515863

aristocrat Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 why is beal leaving now? he could have just declared for the draft
Pete Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 Bryant ran a 4.24 and deadlifts 600 pounds. We could use secondary depth 1

Aussie Joe Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 So essentially the supplemental draft is for underclassmen that aren't keeping up with their studies or who are not welcome back at their college for rule breaches.... Sounds like the high character, lunch pail guys that McBeane craves.. 1

billsfan89 Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 WR would be a fantastic need to fill but I only have heard about that CB that's available. I wouldn't mind using a high non-1st round pick on a CB if that player would have been a 1st round prospect had he declared or been able to declare. Corner isn't a huge need but outside of White I am not too enthused about what this team has. Vonta is a good reclamation project but coming off some injuries and only on a one year deal. There really isn't a proven nickel corner on the team either.

When after the regular springtime draft circumstances lead to one or more college players being ruled ineligible to continue to play college ball, (whether due to academics, disciplinary issues or whatever) the league typically holds a supplemental draft to provide a controlled means of incorporating those players into the league rather than letting them become free agents or forcing them to sit until the following year's draft.
whatdrought Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 Beal is supposed to be decent and was projected to be a top CB in 2019.
TigerJ Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 Brandon Bryant certainly has the athleticism to catch your attention. He had a DUI arrest in January and had academic problems this spring. That's why he applied for the supplemental draft. Those are minor red flag issues, but not necessarily deal breakers. The real attention getter is the fact that in timed runs he has consistently been under 4.3 in the 40 yard dash. He's very strong and is listed anywhere for 205 to 215 lbs. It would be interesting to know if he has the skill set to play CB too (can backpedal, flip his hips, and track the ball while staying with a receiver). 1

Yes.. I think others in the thread explained the same thing earlier...

WR - Davaris Daniels (son of Phillip Daniels) was a great prospect at Notre Dame during their title game season as a freshman. Then had academic issues and got booted. Great hands and body control. Good size. He's with someone in Canada last I knew. ND Highlights - Edited June 7, 2018 by iccrewman112
