Ramius Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/stor..._len&id=2106259 read that, it gives a good brief overview of the supplemental draft... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTW_BillsFan Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 In a nutshell, the supplemental draft is for players that didn't go in the regular draft for some reason. Each team has the option to pick up any player in the supplemental draft but whatever round the player is picked in, they lose that draftpick in the 2006 draft. EX. If buffalo picked that USC DT in the 3rd round, that would use buffalo's 3rd round pick in next years draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if the Bills took him in the 4th today, it would have been a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramius Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 So what - that describes a good chunk of the current NFL and most of the NBA. 382261[/snapback] well, the NBA draft basically is a supplemental draft...but when 95% of the players have off the court problems, its just easier to call it a "draft" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 The order for the supplemental draft is the same as for the April draft. When a team's turn comes up, they will either draft or pass. Wright was taken in the 5th round because for four complete rounds everyone passed. Wright was still there at the second spot in the fifth round. At that point Miami figured he was worth it. Miami will not have their own fifth round pick next April because they used it in the SD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember last year there was talk that Mike Williams was going to go in the supplemental draft. he more than likely held out cos he could demand a bigger contract going first round in the college draft.

You still need to be 3 yrs out from your High Schools graduation class to play in the NFL, and he was only two. That was what Clarrett tried to change, unsuccessfully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was eligible because he graduated late - after his class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
