Don't ask EZ22. :laugh2:

Sorry, old joke.

Players who did not declare in time for the Draft can enter the Supplemental Draft. It is usually held in the Summer and on a Conference call the teams have with the NFL they go in order and can make a big on a player. Highest bid gets him. They then lose that pick in the next year's draft.

So if you don't have a 1st, you can't pay a 1st. If you pay a 3rd, you lose that 3rd next year.

Got it, but couldn't a player speak with their favorite team and enter the Supplemental draft on purpose to give that team a better opportunity to get him.

Yes, but the team still has to pay the highest price of any team taking a chance on that player. If his favorite team is the Raiders and hates the Chargers but the Chargers bid higher, then he is going to his bitter rivals.

How would they value 1st round picks, say the Giants offered a 1st round pick but then the Rams offered a 1st round pick after the Giants, who gets the player.

It's based on the same order of the April draft

The highest bid, in other words, the Rams.
