The Supplemental Draft is today?
Usually this gets a few nuggets of media attention in the days prior to it, but its been radio silence until it hit my Twitter feed just now. Must be absolutely nobody that has a chance of being taken?
There is no way they can pass on me again this year... this is my time to shine!
As I hear it, there were no takers at all in the supplemental draft...
No players were selected in the Supplemental Draft on Wednesday.
Only two players were eligible: Georgia Military College DE Tavares Bingham and Western New Mexico RB Marques Rodgers. Neither is a legitimate NFL prospect. The Rams were the last team to make a pick in the Supplemental Draft, taking OT Isaiah Battle with a fifth-rounder in 2015. Before Battle, Josh Gordon in 2012 and Terrelle Pryor in 2011 were big-time prospects taken by the Browns and Raiders.

Well, this is showing my wear and tear, but every-time I hear supplemental draft my mind goes to Bernie Kosar...
Great...all this work...all this praying....all this waiting with my fingers crossed waiting for my phone to ring and no I find out I wasn't even eligible??? Screw you Daunte...I'm getting a different agent.

Fun fact: Did you guys know that the Cowboys drafted a guy namend Herschel Walker in round 5 of that draft? And do you know which team had the following pick? :#

GermanVike is right that we were probably better served by getting Chris Doleman, but Kosar and the Browns definitelycheatedmanipulated the draft system, and Pete Rozelle abetted them. Well, Kosar was probably the last player who actually wanted to be a Brown, and I bet he regretted it.
@"BarrNone55" said:Before the deadline to declare for the 1985 draft, Kosar said he was going to leave college - and hired an agent. The Bills were set to take Bruce Smith #1, so the Vikings made a trade to get the 2nd pick, aiming to draft Kosar. Then Kosar said he wanted to be a Brown (go figure), and claimed he had not really declared. The Browns worked out a trade for the Bills' #1 pick in 1986 (next year), so they could draft Kosar in a supplemental draft if he "happened to change his mind" after the deadline. There were threats to sue, and some conference was held, and Rozelle decided Kosar could choose if he wanted to be in the regular 1985 draft or the supplemental draft. He chose supplemental and the Browns.@"Jor-El" said:Huh?@"purplefaithful" said: Well, this is showing my wear and tear, but every-time I hear supplemental draft my mind goes to Bernie Kosar...

Most of those claims are speculative, but the Kosar decision was blatant.
Never heard that before...the only thing I knew about the Kosar situation was he didn't want to play here because Mike Lynn was a cheapskate...good stuff...
