The picks wouldn't be the problem. The cap could be a disastrous problem if the labor strife continues. And that's not JLC playing Chicken Little with the cap numbers, that's one of your resident cap nerds saying that.

We should keep the pick and pay that 1st rounder his market value. Or trade down. We'd gain talent for the long haul and help keep ourselves out of cap trouble in a potential uncapped season.
