SmittyBacall Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 No, only players who could have entered the 2020 draft can apply for the supplemental draft. Because Lawrence was only a sophomore, he isn’t eligible. However, someone like Travis Etienne - who is entering his senior year - can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the pay of a first rounder will be more than the pay of a supplemental draft pick? Also it would mean that you are not competing to be drafted against other college athletes. The supplemental draft is a "blind auction" where a club will offer the lowest possible pick that they believe will get the player. It's a no lose issue for NFL teams and everything to lose for players. If any of the players have half decent managers then they wouldn't enter the supplemental draft. They would just lose too much money over the long term. I’ve wondered about that. How does the rookie wage scale handle paying supp picks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

College football will be at the mercy of colleges being opened or closed. If colleges don’t open than you can’t have college football really.

Teams are spotted for picks like the typical draft. So if someone bid their future 2nd rd pick. They will get a 2nd rd rookie wage scale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would just lose too much money over the long term. They might have been a first rounder but after having a year of no play cause of there being no Season, it might affect their stock. They might have been first rd picks if they had a solid year. also teams were low balling supp. Picks cause the player had red flags about them. The only reason they are in the supp. Draft is because the season was cancelled. Rather enter the league now.

Mike Lombardi brought up an interesting possibility, this years supplemental draft could be the largest in history. Some potential names I’ve seen thrown out there who could declare: Travis Etienne Najee Harris Devonta Smith Liam Eichenberg Creed Humphrey Tyler Shelvin Dylan Moses Richard LeCounte JaCoby Stevens Najee>Etienne Packers can redeem themselves for passing on a WR by taking Devonta Smith in the Supplemental Draft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvert28 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I think Caden Sterns would be eligible. I would love it if the Cowboys got him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how that makes any sense. If a senior like Etienne isnt eligible, then who would be? Whats the criteria? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not eligible because he's an eligible student with a year of athletic eligibility. The Supplemental Draft is not supposed to be a means for guys to have "second thoughts" it was a way for guys who were academically ineligible, suspended, kicked off teams etc... to go pro. Will be interesting if anyone drops out of school and challenges it in court. If I'm Etienne the last thing I want to do is get another year older as a RB without playing or improving my stock. Might as well go pro now and get paid if the college season is in doubt. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
