The NFL needs some credit for having always insisted that there should be a 2011 draft. However, this fact was used against them in court.
Judge Susan Nelson decided to void the lockout and followed that with a ruling against a stay request made by the owners. This would have delayed the start of the NFL season.
The NFL would have been better served to delay the draft. Not willing to distance an already weakening fan base, the NFL cunningly decided that it would have been too much to ask football fans to digest a delay of the most anticipated event in months.
