Every year, around this time, the NFL render their fans with a concept called the Supplemental Draft. This event accommodates players that did not enter the regular draft. In most cases, the reason lies behind such incidents as missing the filing deadline for the NFL Draft or some issues developed which affected their eligibility (academic or disciplinary matters). Mostly uneventful, this year’s draft promises to be quite different.
The draft works through blind bids using picks as bargaining chips. If you manage to acquire a player, you then forfeit your pick in the subsequent NFL’s regular draft. Apart from the second round pick traded to the Indianapolis Colts, the New York Jets have all of their 2019 picks.
