Coach Buono makes Supplemental Draft Pick

[Rammer]

So how does this supplemental draft process work? Is it sometype of sealed e-bay-like bid? Do you get another crack at bidding if it turns out someone bid higher? I'm guessing its just like a normal type draft with the same order of teams drafting except when its your teams turn you don't have to make a pick. If you do make a pick in a round, you forfeit whatever round you took a player in next years draft.... Just curious

Not having researched the process, here is my guess ...

Closed envelope auction, but done electronically.

Place your best bid. Top bid wins. No re-bids, just one shot.

If teams put in 1st pick bids, it would go to the team whose 1st round this year is higher. Winnipeg would win the bid if they put a 1st in, which they did for the receiver.

I think that teams can outbid each other with their draft selections, not a closed auction style as IR. A possibility could beas follows.... Team A puts in a bid of round 6, team B uses their higher round 6 done in a reverse order of the draft selection, but once you don't bid with a draft selection that you hold, you are out of the bidding.....

Another CFL behind the scenes rule that exclude their fans, just one of many.

It seems you submit one bid; the team with the highest bid gets the player.

"What is the Supplemental Draft?

The Supplemental Draft is for players who were eligible for the CFL Canadian Draft but their non-import status was unknown until after the draft. These players are made available to CFL teams through a bidding process. Clubs bid one of their Canadian Draft choices the following season; whichever team makes the top offer gets the player and forfeits their draft pick."
