Look, I agree that what he's doing is unfair.
However, if he decides - in his sole discretion - that it was conduct detrimental to the league and affected competitive balance, he does have the authority to remove draft picks, and the clubs wouldn't have any grounds to complain that he violated the CBA.
It would be a reach for the NFLPA to argue that taking away draft picks violated the CBA - and given that the NFLPA signed off on this, I find it hard to believe they'd even get involved if it were draft picks.
