No advance prep, playbook study, or mentoring from current NFL players for these players thus making the jump the NFL a more daunting proposition. If the lockout goes long, it will be interesting to see if a greater percentage of 2011 draft picks get released before this season or next.

It simply may be a matter of teams needing more veterans who know the NFL system. If the lockout ends in September, there is no way that some of the kids will be ready for the NFL with a couple weeks practice. Compound that with the number of new coaches and systems in the NFL in 2011 and guys like Sammy Morris will be more valuable than the stud Tailback from Auburn.
