For the first time since 2019, the NFL has held the so-called Supplemental Draft. A second chance for both talents and teams to secure a college star. However, no team exercised that right in 2023.

On Tuesday (local time), the NFL held the so-called Supplemental Draft for the first time since 2019.

A draft after the draft, that is, for certain players who didn’t make teams in the regular draft.

This year, only two players were eligible to be selected: Wide receiver Malachi Wideman (Jackson State) and wide receiver Milton Wright (Purdue). Neither of the 32 teams, however, chose to draft either player. This “second chance” pick, however, is only for talent that did not declare for the April draft.

Supplemental draft pick costs a selection in the regular 2024 draft

If a team had struck out on any of these players, they would have had to give up a pick in the 2024 draft. It apparently wasn’t worth the risk to any franchise

2019 was the last time a player was drafted in the Supplemental Draft. The Arizona Cardinals took Jalen Thompson, who has since become a starter at the safety position for the franchise.

Both Wright and Wideman will likely sign with a team each in July training camp. According to NFL insider Tom Pelissero, the latter also has offers from the CFL in Canada.
