The NFL’s supplemental draft made a comeback. It was without a bang.
On Tuesday, the first supplemental draft since 2019 took place. No NFL team made a selection in it.
No teams are required to take a player in the supplemental draft. If they do, that team will surrender a draft pick from the next NFL draft. All 32 teams decided to keep all their 2024 draft selections.
The supplemental event gives college players, who have had changes in their eligibility since the NFL draft, to be selected. Every year, the league is able to choose whether or not to hold one.
Two prospects — former Jackson State wide receiver Malachi Wideman and former Purdue wide receiver Milton Wright — were available. Both are now free agents.
The last player selected in a supplemental draft was Washington State safety Jalen Thompson, who was selected in the fifth round by the Arizona Cardinals in 2019.
In terms of the Bills and the supplemental draft, there’s been a few additions made that way, but it’s been a long time. The last time the Bills elected to do so was for defensive back Brett Young in 1989 and the other was via running back Rod Stewart in 1979.
