For those that love the NFL Draft, you’ll have to wait until next April for those sweet picks. The NFL announced they’re not doing a supplemental draft this year, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Under the CBA, the NFL is permitted to hold a supplemental draft every year. However, with the coronavirus pandemic and social distancing restrictions in place, players can’t easily travel for tryouts or make an impression on teams to be selected, forcing the league into skipping the event this year. Instead of becoming free agents as is usually the case for those players not selected in the supplemental draft, they can enter the 2021 NFL Draft.
It likely won’t have much of an impact on the Baltimore Ravens, however. The Ravens have made just one pick in a supplemental draft before, taking offensive tackle Jared Gaither in the fifth round of the 2007 Supplemental Draft.
