[QUOTE="Mel-MinAlum, post: 365677, member: 2199"] IMO, This is another area where the lack of a CBA being in place is going to effect decision making. If the forced mediation doesn't get it done in the next two weeks, teams will have no idea exactly which players they will lose or retain, they don't know who from other teams they may be able to sign or trade for, and they won't be able to sign undrafted players when round seven is over. Therefore teams are going to be under even more pressure to have their higher round picks produce and will be forced to pass on risky players in favor of "safe" players with a lower ceiling. This uncertainty is also likely to result in some teams passing on a higher rated player in order to fill a need at a different position. Of course every team's risk tolerance has its limit on the other end too and eventually the risk level becomes acceptable, which is why I think we are also going to see a lot of pick swapping throughout the entire draft. We all know that some players will go higher than expected, while some will drop like they do every year. My gut feeling is that a lot more of this is going to occur than most people, including the paid "experts" are expecting, especially if you consider two or three teams trading up to get QBs. Get ready to scream at the TV and type like mad, cuz if it plays out this way TT is going to have more players available in each round that shouldn't be there than we've ever seen before. [/QUOTE]
