You mean the guys who will be protecting them in the pocket, throwing them the ball, you know, their teammates?
The owners complain the the players always intended to decertify and weren't honest in their negotiating yet the owners were the ones who negotiated into their TV contract a guaranteed revenue stream if there was a labour stoppage. The owners who took a break to consult, then decided to break for the night and left the players at the bargaining table stewing.
There is PLENTY of mud that can be thrown.
Yes, these players to be drafted are being put in a tough spot, and I disagree with the pressure being put on them. These potential first rounders should have the chance to enjoy being drafted.
