Ok - New Directions High School? I bet this guy chose between JuCo and the NFL? I agree that not too many of these guys actually planned on going to college. They choose "declaring" for the NFL draft over being a baggage handler at Southwest. They chose the ability to be invited to an open tryout and see what happens.

That being said, how exactally would a supplemental draft work? Can anyone provide a link with the details? Lets just say that the NFL loses which will not happen. There are two players of consequence (maybe one really in Williams) the rest of the draft does not really matter for prospects that certainly COULD turn out to something but amount to non-roster invitees. That being said - there is no draft. There are two picks and then a whole bunch of pics that are meaningless. The agreement is that the NFL would hold a supplimental draft 10 days after the court case for these two should they lose to prevent damage to them by not being in the draft.

Do the Chargers get the first pick in that draft too? Do they give up anything by using that pick? Who is compensated if they DO give up anything? As I understand it, teams can "pass" in the suplimental draft as often as they like. (I do not know if this is fact or not). So as I imagine it, if all the first round teams "pass" on picking then they don't have to give up a first round pick. If no one picks until the third round, then they only have to give up a third round pick in the next year's draft. But if they "Give up" a pick, who the heck does it even go to?

Can you imagine if the stupid ass Chargers got Eli Manning and Mike Williams in the same draft? Crazy shit. Someone please clear this up.
