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.

That makes sense. Thanks!
