Teams will not likely be able to trade their draft picks w/o a Labor Resolution

It sounds like the Broncos are drafting #2 unless the Labor situation is settled.

Lets see more mocks WITHOUT trades.

Thanks

This should also end any talk of smokescreen as well.

Yeah

I agree. Denver can talk all they want about drafting a QB, but it seems like the only people buying it are some of the people here at MHR.

This title is a bit misleading

The article has nothing at all to do with the actual trading of draft picks. Rather this article states that without a new labor deal than there will be no rookie contract cap.

That would be the reason for someone not trading up to #2, but the draft will go on with many draft pick trades all through each of the 7 rounds once the first 5-8 picks are off the board.

Yeah - I agree

But it makes the case for teams to NOT trade up into the top 10-ish picks

yah for sure

what really interests me is whether or not there is a drawn out conflict (assuming a new CBA has the rookie salaray cap) between the owners and this years draft class

This is seriously going to be a messed up season if a CBA doesn't get worked out.

No drafted players can even sign with teams after being drafted until a new CBA is reached. Imagine the holdouts that may happen if a CBA isn’t done until August? I imagine it will get done much sooner than that but it is going to make for some serious drama. There has been way too much drama already.
