    Was anyone picked? I didn't see where any link showed who if anyone was selected in this year's supplemental draft.

    Is it me or does it seem like many guys in the supplemental draft have character issues than just a simple running out of eligibility? Going over this list of some guys that have been picked, some of the players have issues. I personally don't understand why the price for a supplemental pick is so steep.

    Where is the risk? If they're head cases you cut them plain and simple. It's also not new that a good number of the guys in the supplemental draft are A. running out of time and B. Have character issues. The last big one I remember was Paul Oliver. (Head case)

    AKA SNATCH98 or Rorbotron. The boards glorious admins decided to get cute and change my name to "homotron" Classy group of people. (Lost a bet with Columbus king and got banned for a month)

    Only 2 players were picked, both in the seventh round running back Harvey Unga by the Bears, and defensive tackle Josh Price-Brent by the Cowboys.

  • Don't you give up a pick in next years draft in the same round? Imho if you take someone in round 3 of the supplemental you would lose next year's 3rd round pick. Or, am I completely wrong?

    I would pass on everyone to if that's the case.

  • didn't know that, now i see the risk.

  • Yeah you lose the next years pick. thats why not many teams use much more than a 6 or 7 and rarely a 5.

    Unless, of course you have a player like Bernie Kosar eligible.

    Browns won the lottery today and get the first pick of every round in the sup draft... so if they see someone they want, they can take him. I think Unger (BYU RB) is the wrong position, but there's a DT a lot of people like.

    It doesn't work like that. You submit a pick for the guy....if you like a guy, you say I will give a 4th round pick. If you are the high bidder, you gain his rights and forfeit that pick in next years regular draft.

    That's my understanding of how it works.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

    There's still an order in which you pick, if there wasnt and 5 teams bid a 6th rd. pick on the same guy how would they decide who gets him.

    Well yeah and i do believe that Jared Gaither was pretty high, or was at least was said that he was going to be.

    Fair enough....all I am saying is it isn't like the normal draft.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

  • Thanks for the clarification, Ballpeen. I was always a little hazy about how the thing worked--I had this vision of team representatives having to do some kind of conference call with the league, which went round-by-round asking if anyone wanted to take a player. Your way makes a lot more sense.
