What happens to the pick they lose?

What team gets it...do they raffle it off??

No one. It just disappears.

There will be only 31 picks in the first round.

Our pick, the 32nd pick cool will not exist.

Since there still has to be 255 picks in the draft, some team will get it as a "Supplemental Compensatory" pick at the end of the 7th round.

254, actually (2 supplemental draft picks).

Nope, it's always 255, no matter how many supplmentary/forfeited picks there are.

The NFL simply awards "Supplemental Compensatory" picks at the end of the 7th round to fill the remaining space.
