<p>The 2012 NFL Supplemental Draft has come and gone and the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.dawgsbynature.com/">Cleveland Browns</a> used their 2013 2nd round pick to select former Baylor WR <span>Josh Gordon</span>. Gordon was the only player selected in the draft and will now head north to Cleveland to start working with presumptive Browns' QB <span>Brandon Weeden</span>. He'll have a lot of rust to shed after sitting out the 2011 college football season after being dismissed from Baylor following an arrest related to marijuana. </p>
<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.fieldgulls.com/">Seahawks</a> had some assumed interest in Gordon, attended his pro day on Tuesday, but we'll never know just how serious they were about him; the Browns were the only team to submit a 2nd round bid so it appears they were far and away the most interested in the receiver. </p>
<p>There were also thoughts that Carson Newman linebacker Larry Lumpkin could perhaps be chosen in today's draft by the Seahawks after they were one of two teams to attend his pro day on Wednesday. He went undrafted and now becomes a free agent, so he's a name to watch in Seattle as a possible free agent signing. </p>

<p>The NFL Supplemental Draft is set to kick off at 10am PST this morning and comes with a little drama this year as former WR Josh Gordon provides an intriguing storyline. The former star WR sat out of the 2011 season after being dismissed from the Baylor football program, but many believe he'd have emerged as a possible top-15 pick if he hadn't missed the year. Our own Daniel Hill, a former teammate of Gordon, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.fieldgulls.com/2012/7/11/3154164/nfl-supplemental-draft-2012-josh-gordon-scouting-report">provided a scouting report</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Gordon is an absolute physical specimen. I knew just from watching him on the field in practice and during workouts that he was someone who undoubtedly possessed next-level talent. As only a true sophomore, he was built similarly to <span>Terrell Owens</span>. He has long arms with a wingspan of 82" inches. His hands are huge. At Baylor, the largest receiver gloves available were XXL. Gordon's hands were so big he never strapped up his gloves so he could have better hand and wrist mobility. His hands were very smooth and natural when catching the football and at his pro day workout on Tuesday this was evident -- he did not drop a pass.</p>
<p>Just the measurables alone, (6'3" and 224) make Gordon an intriguing NFL prospect. On top of the large physique, he also has speed. I know at his pro day he was clocked at a 4.52 forty-yard-dash but he also hurt his quad during that run. I know for a fact that at Baylor he timed in the low 4.4's and was on the verge of breaking into the high 4.3 range. Physically, he is a rare breed and this is what makes him such a tantalizing prospect for many NFL teams.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The <a href="https://www.fieldgulls.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Seahawks</a> attended his pro day on Tuesday so you know there's at least a slight interest in his services. We'll see what it takes to pick him up -- most have guessed he'll be selected in somewhere in the 2nd through 5th rounds.</p>

<p>As you're probably now well-aware, the NFL Supplemental Draft takes place tomorrow and the big-ticket name to be aware of is former Baylor WR Josh Gordon. Rumor has it that Gordon could be selected anywhere from the 2nd round to the 4th round, and interestingly enough, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.fieldgulls.com/2012/7/10/3149628/Josh-gordon-seahawks-workout-supplemental-draft">the Seahawks were present at his pro day on Tuesday</a>. Will the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.fieldgulls.com/">Seahawks</a> be interested? We'll have to wait and see, but for now, it's interesting to note that the Supplemental Draft doesn't work exactly the same way as the 'regular' NFL Draft. <a target="_blank" href="http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/07/11/before-the-supplemental-draft-the-nfl-has-its-own-draft-lottery/">ProFootballTalk explained this morning</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Like the NBA and NHL, the NFL supplemental draft lottery is weighted so that worse teams get a better chance of having the highest picks. The first drawing will feature the 10 teams that won six or fewer games last season: <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.stampedeblue.com/">Colts</a>, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/st-louis-rams">Rams</a>,<a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.dailynorseman.com/">Vikings</a>, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.dawgsbynature.com/">Browns</a>, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bucsnation.com/">Buccaneers</a>, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/washington-redskins">Redskins</a>, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bigcatcountry.com/">Jaguars</a>, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.thephinsider.com/">Dolphins</a>, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.catscratchreader.com/">Panthers</a> and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.buffalorumblings.com/">Bills</a>. The Colts will get their names put in the drawing 32 times, the Rams 31 times, and so on. Those 10 teams are guaranteed to have Top 10 picks, but the lottery will determine the exact order. After that, a second drawing takes place with the 10 teams that won seven or more games last season but didn't make the playoffs: <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.arrowheadpride.com/">Chiefs</a>, Seahawks, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.revengeofthebirds.com/">Cardinals</a>, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bloggingtheboys.com/">Cowboys</a>, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bleedinggreennation.com/">Eagles</a>, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.ganggreennation.com/">Jets</a>, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/oakland-raiders">Raiders</a>, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/san-diego-chargers">Chargers</a>, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.windycitygridiron.com/">Bears</a>, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.musiccitymiracles.com/">Titans</a>. The Chiefs will get their names in the drawing 22 times, the Seahawks 21 times, and so on. Those 10 teams get picks 11-20. Finally, the third drawing is for the 12 playoff teams, with the Super Bowl champion <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bigblueview.com/">Giants</a> getting their names in the drawing just once. The 12 playoff teams get draft lottery picks 21-32."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>In addition to the position lottery, the Supplemental Draft goes by silent auction format. Each 'round' goes by with teams deciding whether or not to place a bid. The highest positioned team that places a bid in the highest round 'wins' the auction and grabs the right to a player in question. In turn, they give up a pick in 2013, equal to the round in which they made their bid. </p>
