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.

    • Many layers my frend- Panthers had a draft recently. They picked 4 defense players. Each player picked 11, 22, 33, 55 as their number. For some players that number match the round or pre-draft round rank, example- Prince was a 3rd rounder and choose 33. Nic was a 1st rounder on some mock drafts and Dan Morgan said they had him as a 1st, he picked 11. Cam Jackson recently switched his number to 55, same as draft and has been telling Dave he wants to be special over and over.  The 44 was to add GOAT feels, thoughts, and more intrigue to this rookie phenomenon. X files was cause it was a great TV show and maybe it was playing when this theory came together.......   I hope this helps!      
    • The best things Purdy has are certainly important tools for any QB. His accuracy his timing his decision making etc. I feel like he is a high end Teddy Bridgewater. You can compete and win in the regular season with this especially in a weakened NFC but where his limitations come into focus is when you are trying to contend for a Super Bowl you are going against elite and in some instances generational QB's like Mahomes. And when the time has come for him to go up against Mahomes he simply can't get it done. Now certainly he is not alone in that regard and people will point to another highly regarded QB such as Josh Allen who also cannot get by Mahomes. But the difference I see is Allen is not IMO at a phsyical disadvantage in that matchup whereas Purdy is. And that is with what had been to this point a comically stacked roster around Purdy and let's be clear we cannot understate that regardless of which side of the fence we land on in this debate. Purdy has had a top 5 roster and a top 5 coach. And the last time they went to the Super Bowl they leaned on McCaffrey extremely heavily. Now with what they are having to pay him and divert limited resources elsewhere they face a steep climb to get back to the Super Bowl let alone actually win it.
    • Lonzo mentioned Melo going to the Clippers, but he also said we would draft Dylan Harper and he isn't making it to 4.
