Kirby Jackson Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 Are we allowed to use both of our 2018 first round picks?
Tenhigh Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 THIS is what you should be able to spend your comp picks on.

Gunsgoodtime Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Buddy Nix must have napped through the whole damn thing
atlbillsfan1975 Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Why would someone not just sign these players as undrafted FA? I am confused as to why they hold the supplemental draft.

I think that the NFL makes guys enter the league via a draft. It's done so that a guy just can't skip the draft and go to a team of his choice. The supplemental draft usually applies to guys that weren't eligible for the draft for one reason or another.

Chandler#81 Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 So what happens to these two guys now. I presume they've surrendered their college eligibility, so they can't return, right? Are they FA's who can sign with anybody now?
