U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson ordered an immediate end to the lockout Monday, siding with the players in their fight with the owners over how to divide the $9 billion business.
Whether it's trading up or down, or for future picks, New York Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum is as big a wheeler and dealer as there is in the NFL.
The Associated Press takes a look at the best and worst first-round draft picks for each NFL team.
In the midst of the lockout, the one piece of business that has not ground to a halt is the draft. Picks begin Thursday night at Radio City Music Hall. Here's how the first round might go.
"We don't have a date by which the season is lost, or a date by which we have to move from 16 games to some other (number)," Eric Grubman, the league's executive vice president for business operations, said Friday.
The NFL lockout and a lack of free agency have handcuffed Mike Tannenbaum so far this offseason. No big splashes. Still, the Jets GM is heading into next week's NFL Draft with the same approach he always has.
Joe Morris, Marty Lyons and 30 other retired NFL stars will announce their former teams' second or third-round picks at the NFL draft next Friday.

Jonathan Tisch and Woody Johnson announced Monday that Alfred F. Kelly Jr. will oversee preparations for the game at the New Meadowlands Stadium in February 2014, the NFL's first open-air, cold-weather Super Bowl.
Braylon Edwards had an up-and-down 2010 season in New York. He was arrested and charged with DWI and later came within one game of the Super Bowl. All that considered, the wide receiver told WXYT radio this week that he "wouldn't mind ending up back with the Jets."
Sworn to secrecy about specifics of their court-ordered mediation, neither the NFL nor its players provided much insight about where they're at in their dispute over the division of this $9 billion business.
Might the court-ordered mediation between the NFL and its players foreshadow progress toward ensuring that pro football goes on this fall? Or is it merely a formality that will yield little as long as a key legal ruling on the lockout is still pending?
