The NFL’s annual supplemental draft has been a quiet affair in recent years, so it may have escaped your notice that this year’s edition will be held on July 12.

There are only two players eligible this year, so it may well escape your notice next week as well. Rob Rang of NFLDraftScout.com reported that Georgia Military College defensive end Tavares Bingham and Western New Mexico running back Marques Rodgers are this year’s entries and the league has confirmed that is the case.

Bingham never played last season after transferring from Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College while Rodgers ran for 1,283 yards and caught 61 passes.The supplemental draft is for players whose eligibility has changed since the NFL Draft in April. Teams that make a selection have to forfeit the corresponding pick, e.g. their third-round pick, in the next year’s draft.

The last player selected in a supplemental draft was tackle Isaiah Battle, who went to the Rams in the fifth round in 2015 and has yet to play in a regular season game. Wide receiver Josh Gordon was a Browns second-round pick in 2012 and Terrelle Pryor was picked by the Raiders as a quarterback in the third round of the 2011 supplemental draft.

Georgia Military College DL Tavares Bingham and Western New Mexico RB Marques Rodgers are eligible for the July 12 NFL Supplemental Draft, a league spokesman confirmed to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.NFLDraftScout's Rob Rang first reported the news.Rodgers rushed for 1,283 yards and 10 touchdowns on 217 carries for WNMU in 2015, and caught 61 passes as one of the top offensive threats in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. He was academically ineligible to play for WNMU last year, and entered the supplemental draft with one year of college eligibility remaining, according to the school.

Bingham (6-4, 290) exhausted his junior college playing eligibility after the 2015 season. He redshirted one year and played another at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, then transferred to GMC for his final junior college season. Academic problems prevented him from signing with a four-year school for 2016, per GMC coach Bert Williams.The supplemental draft includes players whose draft eligibility status has changed since the regular draft in April. Teams that select a player in the supplemental draft lose a draft choice in the corresponding round of the next year's NFL draft.

Last year, six players were available in the supplemental draft, but none were selected. The last player selected in the supplemental draft was Clemson OL Isaiah Battle, a fifth-round choice of the Rams in 2015 who has not appeared in an NFL regular-season game and is currently with the Chiefs.

Taking Rob Moore in the supplemental draft with a 1st rd pick kept us from drafting Farve in the following draft..:(

2 Things.

Rob Moore was a pretty good player.  Brett would have probably busted here, like he did in Atlanta, unless we also brought in a really good HC to develop him.   Plus, we got Browning Nagle who had that really good game.   Plus, if they loved him so much, why didn't they just trade up in the 2nd round?

They did at the last minute the Cards ahead of the Falcons called it off afraid the Falcons would take their guy.. Farve didn't bust in Atlanta they had Chris Miller who made the Pro Bowl in 91 and when Ex Jet Ron Wolf Packers  offered a 1st for Farve in 92 they said fine..

Glanville hated him.   Also, Farve was a hard party boy at that time. 

Don't forget, he got to go to Holmgren, with what they were building out there.   He would not have had the same success with freaking Bruce Coslet.

Marino on the Jets.  100% translatable.  He'd have been a stud, and I'd have 5 #13 Jerseys in my closet.

Now, I have no idea who those 2 players are.   If the Jets liked on of them, and used a 7th on them, so be it.   Losing a 7th rounder next year is not going to set the team back.   Actually, I don't think anything can set them back any further.

(no, I don't think they'll do anything)

the thing that's perplexing is how come shula face didn't surround marino with the talent he needed both defensively and offensively?  the doltfins never had a decent run game during the marino years and their defense was just so-so.
