Andrew Luck with #1 in 2012?

Can someone dig up the official rules on the lockout, mainly what happens with the 2012 draft if 2011 is a lockout year. It definately seems possible for Carolina to draft AJ Green this year and Andrew Luck next year. Remember, JR is running the show with the CBA thing. He can make this happen.

This is what the NHL did when they had a lockout to determine the draft order in the year following the lockout.

1. Each team starts with 3 lottery balls, for a total of 90.

2. Each playoff berth in the previous 3 seasons would take away a ball, as well as for every first overall pick (awarded first overall pick, traded picks didn't count) with a lower limit of one lottery ball, leaving 48 lottery balls.

3. The lottery balls were drawn like a daily lottery, with the first ball being chosen being the first pick, going on through until the final ball was drawn. Only the first ball chosen counted. The 18 repeat balls were thrown away with only a team's first selection counting.

4. The draft was in snake format, meaning the team that selected first in the first round would have the last pick in the second round, first pick in the third round, last in the fourth round, etc.

well think about it, JR said in the PC that he was not as positive about negotiations as others were. I'm thinking the owners will side with him with whatever he thinks. Since there are 7 rounds. I cant see them holding a lottery or anything complicated. I think they do the same drafting order except for where teams traded that years pick, they get that pick in 2012. Also, if JR knows there will be a lock out year. Could he trade away the #1 pick for another teams next year, for a player and or other picks, thus giving carolina 2 picks in the first round one being #1 overall. With that all said, I doubt they lack the skill to pull something like that off. They couldn't even figure out not to run a draw on 3rd and 10.

    • It’s going to get wild after this Sunday.  I would assume Dave has a really smart plan.   Sorta like the AZ plan last year.    After a big turnover heavy  bad game Bryce normally reels it in.  Bryce will have one of his standard 60% for 200 days and the Bryce defenders will use that as a “ I told you he is good” games.    
    • Bryce is a really smart kid and I'm sure he knows all the answers to the test but he hasn't been able to overcome his lack of physical tools and other DC's know this and play him accordingly. I think Bryce has good processing but when the correct read is the WR 30 to 40 yards down field and you have a defensive lineman coming at you what can he really do? He just doesn't have the arm to effectively and consistently hurt the defense and I think that's what's gonna do him in.  Pime example look at the INT versus Dallas last year when Thelien was wide open down the seam and Bryce threw it from a clean pocket and the ball was way short. Dc's watched that and knew that Bryce can't throw the ball deep. 
    • I'd give Bryce until the trade deadline to prove he's the answer and if he's not I'm dumping him for whatever pick we can get and I'm riding with Dalton the rest of the way.  2 and a half years is enough time to determine if he can be the QB going forward so for Bryce he needs to come out over the next couple of weeks and show that. The other players in the locker room don't wanna waste another year of their careers waiting to see if you'll ever figure it out.  If you took a poll of the players in the locker room I'm sure they'd rather lose with a respected veteran Dalton who at least gives them some creditability versus losing with Bryce who the entire media will say was let down by his supporting cast when in reality it's Bryce's physical limitations that are holding this team back.
