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.

    • Give me Anthony Hill Jr or give me death
    • We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that
    • There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
