The 2018 Supplemental Draft was held on Wednesday, July 11, 2018. For the first time since Isaiah Battle in 2015, a selection was made during the event. In fact, two players were chosen during the draft, but none of them went to the Minnesota Vikings.
Over the course of the Vikings franchise history, they have only acquired one player. In 1988, Minnesota used a fifth-round draft pick to acquire South Carolina wide receiver Ryan Bethea and haven’t utilized the system to add another player since.
However, that doesn’t mean that other franchises haven’t acquired some great players through the Supplemental Draft.
