The 2011 NFL draft, held over three days at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, featured top picks like Cam Newton, selected first overall by the Carolina Panthers, and Von Miller, chosen second by Denver. This draft class is noted for its exceptional talent, including multiple Heisman Trophy winners like Newton and Mark Ingram II. Notably, Miller and Newton later faced off in Super Bowl 50, with Miller earning MVP honors. Several draftees became stars, such as J. J. Watt and Richard Sherman. The draft included 254 players drafted at various positions, led by 39 cornerbacks and 32 linebackers.
Impact of labor situation
Main article: 2011 NFL lockout
Despite an ongoing labor dispute between league owners and players over a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA), a provision in the expired CBA ensured that this draft would still take place, despite the fact that the owners had imposed a lockout to prevent the start of the league year.11 Fans in attendance at the draft expressed their displeasure with the lockout by booing NFL commissioner Roger Goodell during the event and chanting "We want football."12
Due to the labor situation and the lockout, franchises were not able to trade players for draft selections (trades involving only selections were permitted), and were unable to sign or even contact drafted or undrafted players until the lockout was lifted. Because of the lockout, the Panthers could not sign or even negotiate with their first draft pick before the draft began, as other teams have done in years past.1314
The restriction on trading players extended to players selected in this draft—teams were unable to swap any player once selected, e.g. as happened in 2004 when the San Diego Chargers and New York Giants completed a draft day trade involving Eli Manning and Philip Rivers who had been selected first and fourth respectively.15 In addition, with no agreement in place between owners and players mandating future drafts, teams were advised by the league that any trades involving future draft picks would be made at the teams' "own risk".16 This warning did not dissuade several teams from making trades involving future selections.
The National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) considered plans to dissuade potential prospects from attending the draft,17 but a record 25 potential draftees attended the event, including Von Miller, who was one of the named plaintiffs in the players' antitrust lawsuit against the league.1819
The 2011 CBA reduced salaries for first-round picks by implementing a rookie wage scale. The rookie contracts for first round picks were set for four years each, with a fifth-year option available after the 2013 season.20
Early entrants
Main article: List of 2011 NFL draft early entrants
A record 56 underclassmen announced their intention to forgo their remaining NCAA eligibility and declare themselves eligible to be selected in the draft.21 Of the 56 eligible underclassmen, 43 (or 76.8%) were drafted.2223
The selection of Newton, a junior, marked the third straight draft where the first overall selection was an underclassman. Since non-seniors were first eligible to be drafted in 1990, fourteen first overall picks (including six of the last seven) have been players who have entered the draft early.24 Eight of the first ten players chosen in this draft were non-seniors, which broke the record of six set in 1997 and matched in 2006. Jake Locker and Von Miller were the only two seniors among the first ten draftees.25
Determination of draft order
Further information: National Football League Draft § Rules for determining draft order
The draft order is based generally on each team's record from the previous season, with teams which qualified for the postseason selecting after those which failed to make the playoffs.
