— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) July 1, 2016 The supplemental draft is for players whose eligibility has changed since applications to the original NFL Draft were taken. In other words, if a player was not eligible for the NFL Draft for some reason (typically academically or disciplinary reasons), they can apply to enter the supplemental draft. Only one player has been chosen in the supplemental draft since 2012. If a player is selected in the supplemental draft, the team must forfeit the corresponding draft pick -- based on the bid they place on the player -- in the 2017 NFL Draft.
