For the better part of the last couple weeks, there had been speculation tying Adonis Alexander to the Washington Redskins. The talented Virginia Tech product had to enter the Supplemental Draft after being ruled academically ineligible for the upcoming season. However, had Alexander declared for the 2018 NFL Draft, many expected that he would be a third or fourth-round pick. Instead, he fell to the sixth-round in the Supplemental Draft.
Once that round rolled around, the Redskins decided to take the risk. Selecting around the No. 20 spot, they put in a claim for Alexander. And they were awarded with him after no team in front of them placed a claim.
