"NFL's 2023 Supplemental Draft Ends Without Any Player Selections"

No players were selected in the NFL's supplemental draft, which featured two eligible players: Malachi Wideman and Milton Wright. This was the first supplemental draft in three years, and the last time a player was selected was in 2019. Any team that made a pick in this draft would have had to give up a corresponding pick in the 2024 draft. Wideman, a Tennessee transfer, had 12 touchdowns in 2021 but caught only three passes last season, while Wright missed the 2022 season due to academic ineligibility. Both players can now sign with any team as undrafted free agents.

2023 NFL Supplemental Draft Ends Without Any Player Selections

No players were selected in the 2023 supplemental draft, leaving former Jackson State receiver Malachi Wideman and former Purdue receiver Milton Wright as free agents eligible to sign with any team. Wideman had a limited performance in 2021, while Wright had a productive final season. Teams that would have used a supplemental pick on either player would have given up a corresponding selection in the 2024 draft.

"NFL Supplemental Draft: Potential Picks and Targets for 2023"

Former Purdue Boilermakers wide receiver Milton Wright is the only player currently eligible for the upcoming NFL supplemental draft. The New Orleans Saints could potentially use one of their fifth- or sixth-round picks to acquire him, but it would leave them with less draft capital until compensatory picks are awarded next March. Wright was declared academically ineligible in 2022 and didn't find many options in the transfer portal in 2023, leading him to turn pro. He had a breakout season in 2021 with 57 receptions for 732 receiving yards and 9 touchdown catches.

Purdue WR Milton Wright eligible for NFL Supplemental Draft.

The NFL supplemental draft is set to return on July 11th, with former Purdue wide receiver Milton Wright being the only prospect approved so far. Wright was ruled academically ineligible for the 2022 season. The San Francisco 49ers, who have a surplus of wide receivers, are in the final tier of the draft order. Teams bid via draft picks on a player, with the highest pick getting the player and the team making the bid forfeiting the pick. The 49ers have selected five players in the supplemental draft, including former linebacker Ahmad Brooks.
