No one really knows what would happen to the 2012 draft if there is not a 2011-12 season. The owners would have to agree on some process.

I've seen nothing from the NFL about the issue, since they're more concerned about getting a CBA done, but various scenarios have been proposed by sports media and talking heads.

One was to average the teams won/loss records for the past 3 years and use that to order the draft. Another was to have a lottery system, similar to the NBA, with the weaker teams having better "fudge factors."

Hopefully, the 2011 season will happen and the 2012 draft order will be determined as usual.
