They will hold the draft in February, this will hurt the scouts job of judging juniors that declare, and it will hurt player that are hurt. Everyone will be in the same boat, and the teams with the best scouting departments should be the winners in this off season.

The owners have opted out of that agreement, have they not? So if the NFL tried an end around draft on the union, I would suspect the union wouldn't just play dead. They would howl about the injustice of it all.
And without time to evaluate better, the undergrads coming out, the draft if it were to be held would be what we called in the Marine Corp a cluster f**k!
