No one selected in 2023 supplemental draft

After the NFL held its first supplemental draft since 2019, neither player in it was selected. Should the Cardinals pursue them now?

The first NFL supplemental draft since 2019 was held Tuesday with two prospects available. They went undrafted.

Former Purdue receiver Milton Wright and former Jackson State receiver Malachi Wideman are both now free agents who can sign with any team.

Wright did not play in 2022 because he was academically ineligible.

He is a 6-foot-3, 195-pound wideout. He caught 57 passes for 732 yards and seven touchdowns in 2021.

His athletic testing was below average, highlighted by a 4.69-second 40-yard dash.

Wideman began his college career at Tennessee before transferring to Jackson State. He is 6-foot-5. In 2021, he caught 34 passes for 540 yards and 12 touchdowns. He had limited playing time last season, catching three passes for 49 yards and a score. NFL Draft Scout lists his 40 time at 4.49 seconds, very good for someone of his height.

The Cardinals could always add size to the team. However, neither has had any offseason reps.

Should the Cardinals pursue either player to add to the roster ahead of training camp?
