No the draft is happening, but no team can sign a rookie player if there is no CBA! If there is a lock out and no football next year, then no rookies can be signed. So if the 2011-2012 season is over, what happens to all those un-signed rookies and their rights? Are they eligible for the next draft? Or do the team still get rights to the players?
I think this is part of the reason Andrew luck stayed in college! Yeah he would have been the first pick, but he would not get paid until a new CBA was signed. He would miss a year of football and because he entered the draft he would not be eligible to return to college!
