On another site someone mentioned that Mike and Mike had talked about a team drafting Luck anyway and being able to hold the rights to him even though he doesn't come out this year. It was bantered about that there might not be a NFL rule on doing that but others felt that either

A- the team who drafted him would lose his right next draft and he would be placed right back in for next yrs draft. or

B- Teams can't draft a player who has not declared because the NFL does not follow the NBA rules and basically the team would be throwing away a draft pick.

So my question to you all is:

Could Luck wait till after the draft then declare himself for the supplimental draft? and if he can would it change anything in regards to what teams can go after him?

I'm thinking he probably doesn't want to play for the Panthers knowing he owner is cheap or something and maybe worked out a deal with Harbaugh that he would declare after the draft. Why? Maybe it would be too much for the 49ers to give up to trade with the Panthers to go after him but in the supplimental draft the 49ers could offer whatever which would hurt them till the following draft anyway. In other words the 49ers could offer a 1st round pick.

Could this be a possibility? or would the Panthers still get first dibbs on him since they did so bad?
