Supplemental Draft Rules

• thavoice

  I put this on a PrIor thread but figured so many will not even bother to look.
  
  Here is what goes on and how the supp draft works.
  
  Supplemental Draft, is designed to allow underclassmen --who did not petition the league for early entry before the NFL Draft deadline but find themselves ineligible for the upcoming college season-- a vehicle for entering the NFL. The supplemental draft is held after the traditional NFL Draft and before each season begins.
  
  The league uses a weighted three-step, semi-lottery system to determine the order of the supplemental draft as follows:
  
  •Teams with six wins or less participate in the first lottery for the top supplemental draft picks. The team that posted the worst record among that group is given a weighted advantage over the following team, with each team's "weight" being decreased on down the line until reaching the team with the best record in the group.
  
  •The second group consists of non-playoff teams and follows the same weighted system.
  
  •The third group consists of last season's 12 playoff teams and, again, follows the same lottery system.
  After the order is determined, each team submits to the league the name of the player(s) they are interested in, as well as the round of the supplemental draft they would like to choose them in. The team that submits the highest bid is awarded rights to the player. If more than one team bids a pick from the same round, the team with the highest pick in the round wins out.
  
  If a team uses a pick in the Supplemental Draft, they must forfeit their choice in the corresponding round of the next years NFL Draft.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Bernie Kosar, and Cris Carter were famous Supp draft picks.

  So hypothetically someone could offer a 6th round pick for Prior?

  Yes. And I think its a blind draft of sorts. Teams put in a "bid" on a player by saying which round they would take him. The team with the highest "bid" gets the pick, and forfeits the corresponding pick in the following draft. So if the Raiders say they would draft him in the second round, and the Eagles say they'd draft him in the third, the Raiders would get him.

  a 7th rounder as a WR
  
  a 1st rounder as a used car salesman

  He could quite possibly be the only player who could make the Raiders historic "Thug" image worse!
