I was confused about the Supplemental Draft rules, so I looked 'em up on Wikipedia.:…Draft order is determined by a weighted system that is divided into
three groupings. First come the teams that had six or fewer wins last
season, followed by non-playoff teams that had more than six wins,
followed by the 12 playoff teams. In the supplemental draft, a team is
not required to use any picks. Instead, if a team wants a player in the
supplemental draft, they submit a "bid" to the Commissioner with the
round they would pick that player. If no other team places a bid on
that player at an earlier spot, the team is awarded the player and has
to give up an equivalent pick in the following year's draft. (For
example, RB Tony Hollings was taken by the Houston Texans in the second round of the Supplemental Draft in 2003; thus, in the 2004 NFL Draft, the Texans forfeited a second-round pick.)…Sounds like it could be ok, so long as it's not above a 3rd round pick. But it's worth it for a guy that we might not get a look at the following year (because of other teams).-cw

Since we did not draft a corner we should take him but I see some other teams that need a corner worse and he could easily be gone in the 3rd rd. I agee with you rockchalk, we have stockpiled some picks which could allow us to take him.

I definitely think Law can keep playing, especially if he moves to safety a la Rod Woodsen.

if he is there in the 4th round we definately should take him. im on the fence about whether to take him in the 3rd or not but we have stockpiled so many late picks we could probably get by. we definately need a nickelback and this is likely laws last year, so why not?
