The Supplemental Draft doesn’t follow the same pick order and uses a lottery system unfortunately. The Bengals would have a better chance than the other teams of getting a higher pick because it’s weighted towards teams with worse records, but it’s not a guarantee. It’s also not done in rounds from what I understand and instead uses a bidding system. So if the Bengals put a second round pick on a guy like Etienne, but the Chiefs put a first, then we’d lose out. We’d also forfeit next years picks for any players we took that way. So if we pick players that we put a 1st, 2nd, and 4th round bid on, next year we wouldn’t have a 1st, 2nd, or 4th round pick.
It’s definitely something to keep an eye on because there might be some players that are worth it, but there is a lot to consider when making those picks.
