The 2019 NFL Supplemental Draft is Wednesday and features some interesting prospects once again.
As always, the prospects entering the extra draft process typically have an eligibility issue for the next season. In the past, plenty of notables have come off the board during the process.
When: July 10 at 1 p.m ET
The Process: Teams are split into three groups (six wins or fewer, non-playoff teams, playoff teams) and a lottery system makes the order. Teams then use a bidding system and designate which round they would draft a player with the highest bid winning the prospect. The winner loses that pick in the same round of the upcoming draft.
Prospects:
- Jalen Thompson, S, Washington State
- Marcus Simms, WR, West Virginia
- Shyheim Cullen, LB, Syracuse
- Bryant Perry, DB, St. Francis
- Devonaire Clarington, TE, Northland Community College
Bengals Outlook: The Bengals don’t figure to be active here. Thompson is the biggest name worth going after but the amount of attention he’s earned from teams makes it clear he’ll likely be costly. The Bengals also have a new head coach who could be content with things as they are. Keep in mind the team also ignored the compensatory process for next year already and shouldn’t have extra picks, so they won’t be as comfortable sacrificing a pick this summer.
