SB Nation has a primer up that suggests we should expect two of those five entrants to be selected today. One of those players, Adonis Alexander, was once a freshman All-American.

Should the Texans make Alexander (or someone else) their first supplemental draft pick since Charley Casserly blew a second-rounder to select Tony Hollings?
UPDATE: The 2018 Supplemental Draft belongs to the ages now, and the Texans were not involved. The Giants and Redskins were, though, and are now respectively without their third round and sixth round picks in the 2019 NFL Draft.
Giants had the third pick in the third round of the supplemental draft and used it on Western Michigan CB Sam Beal.

As we predicted, Adonis Alexander was selected by the Redskins in the Supplemental Draft. Redskins give up a 2019 6th rounder to draft him.

Alexander is a 6'3 CB from Virginia Tech
