NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL draft always is a guessing game. Never has it been accompanied by so much uncertainty.
Not just who will go first overall – the betting favorite is Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton – but who goes where and when beyond that? Will the Patriots trade down again and again, as they always seem to do? Or will the Jets trade up, as they normally do?
This year, the selection process has the added element of players being locked out by owners, and a judge temporarily blocking the lockout earlier this week. Should the league be forced to reopen for business before or during the draft, the result could be even more chaos.
