Brendan Sorsby Could Climb to Round 1 in NFL Supplemental Draft Under 3-Tier Rules

Summary
Brendan Sorsby could go as high as the first round of the NFL supplemental draft, despite a current league expectation that the quarterback is more likely a third-round pick.
Three team tiers and a bid-based format can push him up: clubs submit round bids in advance, and a lower-priority playoff team may bid earlier to block non-playoff teams from taking him later.
A 2025 playoff team that lacks a long-term answer at quarterback could even sacrifice a low 2027 first-round pick if it believes Sorsby has franchise-upside.
Teams are expected to mask their evaluations in the coming weeks, with misinformation possible as clubs try to game the order and secure him before rivals do.
Risk remains tied to Sorsby's gambling history and possible suspension, but the report says his upside at quarterback is strong enough that all 32 teams are likely weighing him closely.
