So, what happens with the 2011 draft class if there is a lockout? Do they sit out with the rest of the players and lose entirely a year of experience, cross the lines and play with the scabs anyway becoming an outsider on their teams and risking embarassment if they can't hack it on the horrible teams, risk injury and find a way to stay in college another year and bloat the 2012 draft class, or just give up on atheletics entirely?

Number one in 2011 might only be worth being an UDFA after a year with no playing and a whole new class of younger prospects to contend with right off the bat.

WTF??? your saying is the #1 pick this year (Suh, Bradford etc.) Will be less valuable next year then Mr. Insignificant of 2011?? If I read this right by your logic Peyton Manning (1998 #1 pick) had less value in 1999 then Jim Finn (last pick in 1999.)

Reverse your logic. What I'm saying is something akin to a Tom Brady having a distinct disadvantage to a 1st overall from 2001 who shall remain nameless in the traditional mindset of most of the league, especially if Tom Brady had already taken a full year off from actual play. #199 a year ago doesn't look as sexy as #1 this year no matter who it is.

Edit: Trying to find a way around the filter

they aren't going to "take a year off". They'll probably train harder than usualy and possibly go to other outlets like Arena football or that newer football leage(UFL?).

If they go for the draft, they'll sign a contract with the NFL, just won't play and won't get paid like Kurb said. Would they be able to go to another competing outlet?

good point, they wouldn't be able to go to a competing outlet but a lot of the 2nd day/UDFA's would.

Not many junior's would come out most likely.

They would probably just all flock to those bleeding edge training facilities like all of these guys do. Many tractor tires will be flipped and many medicine balls will be manipulated.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
