The Supplemental Draft order is determined by a three-step ‘weighted’ system that entails a lottery within each level:
1. The first grouping consists of teams with 6 wins or less. A lottery is then conducted within this specific grouping and the odds are determined by record. Teams with a worse record are given a higher probability of winning a higher position within the grouping. Ex: The Indianapolis Colts (2-14) are given a ‘weighted advantage’ over the Washington Commanders (5-11).
2. The second grouping is comprised of non-playoff teams with more than 6 wins. This group follows the same weighted system as the first group.
3. The third grouping is comprised of the 12 playoff teams and also follows suit with the format of the initial two groups.
Now, after the order is determined following the format detailed above, teams are allowed to partake in a semi-auction style process. This enables teams to submit formal bids to the league with a round the organization would like to select a player in. Based on the determined order, the team who placed the highest bid is awarded the rights to that player. Ex: If the Dallas Cowboys (a group two team) bids a 3rd round draft choice on Joe Quarterback, and the Miami Dolphins (a group one team) bids a 4th round draft choice on Joe Quarterback, the player is awarded to Dallas.
