bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 So if a lockout occurs we get the benefit of drafting in top 4 in 2011 what would draft order in 2012, assuming labor issues solaved, would be in 2012? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 (edited) Speculation is they'd do like the NHL did and have a wieghted draft. We wouldnt necessarily be picking #4 again, but good change we'd have a pretty high selection. However I have a some doubts about them using a system like this as the draft is ushc a bigger part of team turn around in football as compared to hockey. The league may feel it would just be too much of a benefit to weak teams. Maybe they do an "S" curve to a team like Buffalo would again have the 4th pcik, but then in round #2 their pick would be the 4th last, round #3 4th from the top..... and so on..... PS How's I-40 look on your end?? Edited January 2, 2011 by Ed_Roch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
