It's somewhat similar to Michael Scott declaring bancrupcy. Just because you announce something, even if you yell it or declare it, it doesn't work that way.
Nothing is preventing us from saying anything. Although, why exactly would we? There's no benefit in publically tipping your hand.
If Burrow accidently takes a slap chop to his nuts, while preparing a nice Sunday meal, then turns in agony and knocks over a crockpot full of Kevin's famous chili, then slips and tears every ligament known to man... then we just don't draft him. We can do that regardless of public declarations.
Not true. They can sign him to a contract prior to the draft.
