This would infer that, if the lockout is lifted this week, the resulting extra time after the draft would be beneficial for both the UFA's and the FO's. Interesting.

Yeah absolutely. Because of the lockout, agents' phones didn't start ringing off the hook right after the last pick of the last round. So this extra time gives agents time to really research each team's draft picks, their needs, etc etc. And of course, on the flip side of that, FO's have more time to go over who wasn't picked, however I'm sure FO's have very extensive big boards and player bios lined up and researched prior to the draft. Although if they're really interested in a guy who wasn't picked, now they have more time to dig.

Anyway, it was a great read.

Great read, thanks for sharing.

When lockout ends, these undrafted players will get calls - NFL - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com

I forgot to add Thomas Keiser OLB Stanford, Deunta Williams FS UNC, and SS Jeron Johnson Boise State to my list. Also all those centers interest me.

So how do those drafts work? Obviously it's not just college players. Reynaldo Hill for example is 28 years old and played 4 or 5 seasons for the Titans...

Well I could lie...but then I might as well be on another board

Meanwhile, Cam's brother Cecil (a Center) drafted by Hartford (Glanville)

[tryfuhl]

UFL can claim rights to FA's (some team had Jamarcus on their "roster") but by no means is anyone drafted by the UFL bound to participate in the league. I think this year they've made it more difficult to jump straight to the NFL as well.

I'd advise against these guys going due to possibility of getting picked up by NFL and uncertainty that they'll actually get paid with the UFL.

Watching a special on Mark Herzlich on NFL Network. Pretty remarkable. I hope we sign him.

I'm torn, I root for the players to win and the Lockout is lifted and players are practicing and teams are trading

Or I root for the owners who I think has a good argument in regards to the players not wanting to give and take in the talks and gave early to decertify so they could have "leverage" in the talks which is illegal.

What happens if the 8th Circuit decides the owners have an argument and up holds the lockout? Leverage given back to the owners and what? The "non-union" has to negotiate or does the court say "because we deem it illegal the union cannot decertify"? And the court tells the union to get back to negotiations?

Basically the owners lockedout because they feel the players decertified illegally, so what happens if the court agrees? Is the union put back in place by law and what about negotiations?
