individuals who enter the draft due so because they have been ruled ineligible to play for the upcoming college season, whether its due to academics or what not or they missed the regular draft
IE Pryor was going to play this season at OSU, s**t happened, he isnt anymore.
IN order to pick a player, teams submit a bid [draft pick] and whoever submits the highest bid will win the player. That team then gives up the pick in regular NFL Draft
IE, 49ers bid 6th round pick for pryor, nobody bids higher, 49ers get pryor and give up their 6th rounder for next years draft. If the bronocs had bid a 6th rounder. they would get pryor since they had a worse record and essentially have a higher bid.
