While waiting for DeAndre Hopkins’ “final answer,” Tennessee Titans general manager Ran Carthon should continue searching for alternative methods to improve his cast of wide receivers. One event that could intrigue Carthon is this year’s NFL Supplemental Draft, which is scheduled for mid July. The event had recently been on hiatus with the latest iteration occurring in 2019.
The supplemental draft accommodates players in unique situations, and is often utilized by players that have been ruled ineligible for the upcoming college football season. Unlike the regular NFL draft, the supplemental splits all 32 teams into three categories based on how their previous season went:
Group A: Non-playoff teams with six or fewer regular season wins
Group B: Non-playoff teams with more than six regular season wins
Group C: The 14 teams that made the playoffs
The Titans will appear in Group B as a result of their lackluster 7-10 record.
