what is a Supplemental compensatory selection when talking NFL draft?
309930
A free agent is a player whose contract has expired and is eligible to sign with another team. A restricted free agent is a player for whom another team can make an offer, but his current team is allowed to match that offer. If the current team chooses not to match the offer, it may receive compensation in the form of a draft choice. The NFL awards compensatory picks based on the net loss of restricted free agents. The limit for compensatory picks is four per team. \n\nThe supplemental draft is held after the draft and its more like a auction teams bid for players using the following year's draft pick. if you believe a player is 1st round material in the supplemental draft you bid your 1st rd pick from next year and if you win the player you lose the spot you picked that player at for the following year's draft. The NY Giants did this years ago with Dave Brown. They used a 1st Rd pick in the Supplemental Draft to select hom and did not have a 1st RD pick in the regular draft the following season.

OK the one basically had it correct. You put a guy on waivers and that is just before free agency. You say Hey anyone want this dude at this contract. Every team in the league has the chance to then pick them up at that contract. If they all say nah then the player goes back to the team. If someone picks him up then they have to pay the player at the contract of the team that put him on waivers. You don't have to give them anything else. It is a little like a free agency. If the player clears waivers then the team has to figure out what to do with them but have to pay the contract. They are saying they will try to buy it out.

College eligibility has no bearing on his status for the NFL draft. The party that could be punished is the USC football program.

first off draft was on saturday, and you posted this 2 hours ago. either you live on the moon and get late brodcasting. or you were in coma and just woke up. reggie bush should of been picked 1st, but the texans had a different team need. they already had a long term qb, so they wouldnt sign cutler, young, or leinart. i thought they should pick bush but no deal. it actually doesnt really matter, bush should have gone first no matter who was drafting first. why would you move up to the first pick to draft someone different?

It would probably be easiest to just give the new teams a pick from the pool before the regular draft - basically, they'll act as teams that decided not to keep anyone. Depending on how you feel, you may want to give them first pick (in random order) before any other team that decides not to keep a player. In this case, they are not penalied for not being around the previous year (much like how expansion teams in the NFL get the #1 pick in the draft).

I believe that they would be, there is so much hype involved in the NFL draft, both before and after. Think about it, there are numerous sports magazines, tv channels, sports programs that devote weeks prior to the draft telling us who is going to chose who,and how it's going to help the teams. Then they spend another week analyzing the picks... either they have way to much spare time, or there is a demand for this info. I know that I couldn't get enough of the feedback on my teams drafts...

NFL draft heads to Radio City Music Hall\nNEW YORK (AP) -- The NFL draft, which moved out of Madison Square Garden last season, will move to another New York City landmark this year -- Radio City Music Hall. \n\nIt will be held April 29-30. \n\nLast year the draft was at the Javits Convention Center, moving from the theater at Madison Square Garden because the NFL was upset with Garden management for opposing the proposal for a new stadium for the Jets on Manhattan's West Side. The stadium proposal was rejected by a state committee.

My Jets got the 4th pick; we're right behind you. It is possible that the Texans could draft Ferguson, the best lineman in the country. But I've never heard of an offensive lineman taken 1st overall. I wonder who the Jets will take...better not be a lousy pick.

I just tried this out - but like you said, it comes up as a free agent and no one on the waiver list.  I agree, this doesn't seem right and we'll look into a fix for it...\n\nI'll be back with a response as soon as I can.\n\nOkay - drops during the preseason don't go on waivers - as you have noticed. This is a choice that was made and isn't easy to undo. Sorry about that. For now, you'll probably need to manage the additional player drafts offline. We'll keep this use case in mind though as we develop for seasons going forward.\n\nThanks for your patience with this issue.

Actually, the draft is being held at Radio City Music Hall in NYC this year.  In prior years, you just had to show up and wait in line with the Raider fan idiots and you got in.  Not as many people attend as you'd think so it wasn't necessary to show up super early, although that was about 5 years ago when it was in Madison Square Garden.

the top picks in fantasy football are almost always RBs instead of QBs, and this is generally independent of the scoring system used, because it's really about relative value more than absolute value of a player.\n\nbasically the top 2-3 RBs are often more than 10% better than the next tier of 5-8 RBs, and then there's another big drop in quality.\n\nfor QBs, the top 2-3 QBs are often only 5% better than the next tier of 8-10 QBs.\n\nthus, the advantage of having one of the top couple of RBs is better than the advantage of the top couple QBs, so it's more important for a first pick to ensure you get a top RB.

They will take Reggie Bush with the first pick of the 2006 draft.  They just resigned David Carr for $8M.

no, the commish cannot pick for another person. if that other player does not login to the live draft then the system will automatically draft for them based on the user's pre-rankings.. and it will take 15 seconds to make the pick, not the normal 90.\n-nny

In football, a player in a position can choose from a set of numbers designated to their position.  \nAll sports: Rookies sometimes don't get the numbers they want because they are already taken by someone else on the team, and some teams retire the numbers of great players and nobody can ever wear the number on that team.

It's a added pick at the end of a round that is added when teams lose players to free agency.  Technically it is after the end of the round and before the beginning of the next round, however they are usually considered additional picks at the end of the earlier round.

For RBS choose Barber and Addai.\n\nFor WRs choose Plaxico, Hines, and Moss.
