If there’s one position the 49ers still have some question marks at, it’s safety and they might have one more chance to add some depth to the position. Ian Rapoport reports that Washington State safety Jalen Thompson will be entering the 2019 NFL Supplemental draft. Thompson learned on Friday that he has lost eligibility for the 2019 college football season, which explains why the decision to join the supplemental draft.
If the 49ers were to select Thompson, they would have to sacrifice a 2020 pick. The way the supplemental draft works is the league uses a lottery to determine order.
