What happens during the NFL Supplemental Draft on July 11?

In the midst of the NFL’s quietest offseason period the NFL Supplemental Draft typically goes unnoticed with few high-profile players ruled eligible by the league. This year, five players will be made available for the 32 NFL teams to select from in a unique process.

The league does not use the same order from the typical NFL Draft where winning percentages and wins against division foes determine how teams pick in April.

Here we have all the information needed for the 2018 NFL Supplemental Draft, including scouting reports, draft picks, how the process works, and the best picks in the history of the NFL Supplemental Draft.
