the same number of selection choices as there will be Clubs in the NFL the following League

example, if a player graduated from high school in December 2011, he would not be permitted

Draft.

player may elect to bypass a Draft for which he is eligible to apply for selection in a
Supplemental Draft. Any Club that selects a player in a Supplemental Draft must forfeit a choice
in the same round in the next succeeding principal Draft.
