Work stoppage and the draft

If there's a work stoppage and no 2011 season, as our JR insiders suggest, does the 2011 draft get whacked and all those players go into the 2012 draft? Does the 2011 draft happen as usual and we follow the same draft order in 2012, meaning we get #1 (potentially) again? Does the space time continuum stop and we all get sucked into a black hole? Does pie become cake?

There will be a 2011 draft, if there is no 2011 season the 2012 draft will be a "lottery" format meaning the order will be determined by pulling team names out of a hat... which I think is unfair. If there is no season, then it stands to reason that the worst team in 2011 will still be the worst team in 2012.

I think it is unfair. They should do a weighted lottery where each teams order in the draft will be within, say 7 picks of the previous year. Meaning the Panthers could do no worse than the 7th pick in the 2012 draft, and especially that this years Super Bowl champion has zero chance of getting the #1 pick.

yeah I think that is a good idea. But it would be fun if a few super teams were created.

Colts get A.J. Green.

Ravens get Patrick Peterson.

That is to funny. A big sophisticated org like the NFL with all its lawyers and advisors can't come up with something that is more fair and amicable. You and I know damn well the first name outta that hat would be the Cowgirls or the Squealers...

Speculation. I don't buy that they already have a process for a draft following a lost year and certainly hope they aren't putting any effort into developing a process. The NHL used a weighted lottery type process but that doesn't mean the NFl will.

Link???? Are you sure that’s the case, or is that something you just heard. It was my understanding that they do not have procedures in place for what will happen with the 2012 draft, so I am assuming the owners would come up with something fair.

I really doubt it would be snake because they are not going to give the best team in the leagues the top picks from the class of 2012 (Especially when 2012 will be the better class because more players are probably going to wait until 2012 to declare and not deal with the uncertainty of the cba. Nor do I think it would just be a random lottery as you can have some of the same issues.

My suggestion or best guest will be something more like a tiered lottery. The top 10 would have a lottery for picks 1-10, then the next ten for 11-20 then the 2010 playoff teams for 21-32. Or even a weighted lottery based on record NBA style.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      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.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
