Supplemental Draft
- Thread starter 4bubba
- Start date
Is held in early July.
The supplemental draft order is based on three separate lotteries ? one for the 13 teams who finished with six or fewer wins, one for the seven non-playoff teams with more than six wins and a final lottery for the 12 playoff teams. Each team receives a proportionate number of tokens based on their position in the 2004 regular draft (San Diego has 32, Oakland 31, Arizona 30, all the way down to the Patriots with one).
A private drawing is held by the NFL to determine how the first 13 picks shake out. Then the next drawing is conducted for the non-playoff teams, and lastly the playoff teams. Once the order is decided, each team has 10 minutes to submit its draft selections. It submits picks by e-mail without knowing of other clubs? intentions. If five teams submit picks for Mike Williams for example in the first round, the team with the best draft position gets the pick. In exchange, it must give up its first-round pick in next year?s draft. If it does not have a first-round pick in 2005, it cannot submit a first-round selection for a player.
