The 2020 supplemental draft could be one for the ages

If the college season is still in jeopardy this summer, there could be a lot of draft eligible players ready to jump to the NFL. Normally this draft is for players who have lost their eligibility (although Terrell Pryor provided the blueprint on how to get around that). I could see the NFL granting a lot of requests to enter the league.

If the 2020 college season is cancelled, the 2021 NFL draft could be one of the worst ever, between the 2020 supplemental draft losses and players sticking around for a 2021 season.

I wonder how the Rams would approach a supplemental draft filled with legitimate NFL prospects, not just guys who failed a drug test or were ruled academically ineligible.

Wonder if the Clemson QB could make a run for it

My guess is that they'd limit it to 2020 draft eligible players who stayed in school (so no Lawrence). But hey, this will likely be the most league-disruptive event since World War II, so who knows how they'd bend the rules.

Sam Ehlinger, Shane Buechele, Chuba Hubbard, Travis Etienne, and Devonta Smith are some offensive players that come to mind.

Well, the supplemental draft is in mid July, so if the NCAA season is affected (or cancelled) Lawrence would have a shot at getting the loop hole. He wouldnt be out of HS 3 years like the rules require but if no season? Cincinatti could go all Dallas Cowboy like and take Lawrence too

Interesting.
