2018 NFL Supplemental Draft: Time, eligible players, format and more

The National Football League will hold the 2018 Supplemental Draft tomorrow, 11 July. The Supplemental Draft is pretty much nothing like the regular draft, and while the Minnesota Vikings likely won’t be participating in this year’s festivities, it’s still worth reviewing how everything works.

The Supplemental Draft will get underway at noon Central time on Wednesday, and the entire thing is conducted via e-mail. The 32 NFL teams are divided into three groups:

  • Group 1: Teams with six wins or less in 2017
  • Group 2: Non-playoff teams with seven or more wins in 2017
  • Group 3: Playoff teams from 2017

Obviously, the Vikings would fall into Group 3.
