If an NFL Draft takes place but nobody makes any picks, did it really happen? Yes. Yes, it did.
On Tuesday and following a three-year hiatus, it was time again for the league’s previously-annual supplemental draft. Two players were eligible to be picked by the 32 organizations, but neither the New England Patriots nor any of the other teams decided to invest.
Wide receivers Malachi Wideman and Milton Wright of Jackson State and Purdue, respectively, are therefore now free agents. They can sign with any team via the same three-year deals given to other undrafted rookies.
