  • 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?

    Actually, I believe you are completely right.

    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.

    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.

  • 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.
