germ-x Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I have no idea how supplemental draft picks get paid. For example if the team that selects you uses a 2nd round pick to do so, would the player receive like an average 2nd round pick contract? Anyway. I found it somewhat surprising the NFL chose not to go forward with the supplemental draft. With the NCAA season (and NFL season for that matter) up in the air, there were some college players that could’ve benefited from this.

With the NCAA season (and NFL season for that matter) up in the air, there were some college players that could’ve benefited from this. The PR line is that they didn't want to have another event with unnecessary meetings / interactions - but the reality is that this was done purely out of team benefits - because outside of star players who chose to return to school (like a Chuba Hubbard), very few teams would have scouted those guys, and pretty much have no shot of getting more info now. It definitely sucks for the players, I think quite a few would have gone this route given how the landscape with playing in 2020-spring 2021 looks so far. Just my gut feel on this, but the current state of affairs tells me that fall college football is a pipe dream. The NFL is going to face a challenge to get the season in, and they can throw 8-figures in $ support, and have a league infrastructure and process they can apply to each team. Nothing like that exists in college, and there are just so many college teams. And to be clear, the NFL season is still far from guaranteed - but for college, it's looking like spring 2021 is the best hope - and then that throws the 2021 draft and NFL scouting process a huge monkey wrench. The NFL I'm more hopeful on, but college football in the fall is something I wouldn't be counting on at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champ11 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Looking at the guaranteed money for Mahomes, seems like a highly reasonable contract for the Chiefs. Probably a steal. But who knows. Baseball money 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A buddy of mine coaches at the FCS level and doesn’t see anyway it happens in the fall. Which is why I feel bad there wasn’t a supplemental draft, even if some accommodations were made to where athletes could return to school if they weren’t selected or selected as high as they thought they might be.

germ-x Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 To go further, this would’ve been an interesting year to use high picks in the supplemental draft if a bunch of players declared. The 2021 draft could be even more of a mystery than this years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoBruin Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) Who is the last good player Denver drafted and extended? Is it Wolfe? Happened so long ago he’s already on another team. Edit: Forgot Von got his in 2016. The year we won a Super Bowl. The last time our front office rewarded a drafted player and he was the first pick of the Elway era. Kinda wild.

It sucks that the team couldn't extend Simmons. Very few guys on deals right now. Disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
