Five players available in Wednesday’s Supplemental Draft

There has not been a Supplemental Draft selection since the then-St. Louis Rams selected former Clemson offensive lineman Isaiah Battle with a fifth-round selection bid in 2015. The streak could end with one, or maybe two, prospects predicted to have enough interest to warrant a selection this year.
The NFL recently announced the following five eligible players to all 32 teams. They are as follows:
- Adonis Alexander, DB, Virginia Tech
- Sam Beal, DB, Western Michigan
- Brandon Bryant, DB, Mississippi State
- Martayveus Carter, RB, Grand Valley State
- Bright Ugwoegbu, LB, Oregon State
All 32 NFL teams sent representatives to Beal's workout on June 28. The 49ers were one of 26 teams on hand to watch Alexander's workout. They were one of 14 teams watching Bryant's workout. San Francisco was also one of six teams on hand to watch Ugwoegbu's workout.
The Supplemental Draft will take place on July 11. NFL teams can bid on the available players using 2019 draft picks. The club with the winning bid receives the rights to the player but loses the corresponding selection next year.
Any player who is not selected in the Supplemental Draft will become a free agent.
Draft order in the Supplemental Draft is different from that of the annual event held in the spring. NFL teams are separated into three groups. The first contains clubs which had six or fewer wins the previous season. The second includes teams which had seven-or-more wins but failed to make the postseason. The final group contains the playoff teams from the previous season. The order within each group is determined by a weighted lottery based on records of the prior season. Each interested team blindly bids on players without knowing what other clubs are offering.
Adonis Alexander, DB, Virginia Tech
Alexander registered 125 combined tackles, 4.5 for a loss, a sack, seven interceptions, 17 passes defensed, and a forced fumble during his three seasons with the Hokies.
Sam Beal, DB, Western Michigan
Beal registered 92 combined tackles, two for a loss, two interceptions, 19 passes defensed, and a forced fumble in three seasons and 32 games for the Broncos.
Brandon Bryant, DB, Mississippi State
Bryant registered 157 combined tackles, 3.5 for a loss, five interceptions, seven passes defensed, a touchdown, a forced fumble, and 1.5 sacks with the Bulldogs.
Martayveus Carter, RB, Grand Valley State
Carter rushed for 2,797 yards on 391 carries with 19 receptions for 125 yards and 28 total touchdowns in two seasons with the Lakers.
Bright Ugwoegbu, LB, Oregon State
Ugwoegbu registered 109 combined tackles, 15.5 for a loss, seven sacks, four passes defensed, a forced fumble, and three fumble recoveries over the last two seasons with the Beavers. He missed three games in 2017 but still had 55 tackles and a sack.

These prospects typically hail from nearby colleges or have some other connection to the region where the team is based.

7-round mock draft from The Athletic sees 49ers fortifying defense early
Analyst Dane Brugler recently revealed his seven-round mock draft for The Athletic, forecasting all 257 selections in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, set to kick off next week.
"Piecing together a mock like this is time consuming, but I enjoy the exercise, because it allows me to focus on each team's needs, organizational trends and prospect-team pairings that make sense based on '30' visits, league buzz and overall interest," Brugler wrote.
Most expect the 49ers to address the trenches early in the draft, and Brugler has the team doing that. It's just not on the offensive side of the football. In fact, Brugler doesn't have San Francisco
