Brandt: Draft position will likely be 21 (provided we get the W)

[KendrickPanther]

Could very well end up being the 25th pick.

While it would be a shame to stop there, it's more likely than 21, indeed.

why did Philly cut Barner if this was the case.let me guess bad oL,right,lmao.

Dime a dozen = there are a lot of running backs that can do the job, not that every running back can.....

name me One just One RB this past week (16) who was drafted past round 4 that had 100 all purpose yards.save your time and energy because you can't.you are referring to finding a diamond in the rough not a dime a dozen.

[EMSMedic79]

G-Man will still pick BPA........ With our luck he'll draft a RB.

 

OT needs to be a priority imo.

[My Goodness My Guinness]

I have to admit, I'm really torn on this. For those making the argument "make playoffs no matter what, fug draft position." Keep this in mind, 99% of the time when a team is in the same position as us, one win away from the playoffs, making the playoffs would only drop you a few spots or so. Our situation is very unique and rare, our current situation has us dropping substantially in draft position if we make the playoffs or not. Dropping from top 9 to top 21 is huge as opposed to dropping from top 15 to top 20

Anything can happen in the playoffs when a team gets hot. What's the point in waiting another year when we can win now?

[Rise of The Hive]

G-Man will find someone there he is pretty good at drafting.

True, but what's the statistics of a top 10 pick throughout all the rounds in the draft substantially helping their team vs an under .500 winning it all?

After thinking about this long and hard, ive come to the conclusion that losing and securing a top 10 draft pick is the best course of action. Yes I get the whole, "Go team! Win at all costs! Anything can happen in the playoffs" argument, but the reality is we suck, we suck bad. How bad?!

We beat the absolute worst team in the league (Bucs) by a COMBINED 8 pts. We beat a reeling Browns team with a joke of a QB situation by 2 pts. We got beat by the 6 win Falcons AT HOME, the 5 win Saints AT HOME, we get destroyed by the Steelers at home in prime time, dont even get me started on the Packers game.

Im actually quite stunned that I see some people on here make the claim "oh I hope we play the Lions in the playoffs, we beat them once we will do it again." Your kidding right? How did that line of thinking work out for us last year against the 9ers?!

Yes, "Anything can happen" in the playoffs. But does anyone in their right mind think we stand any chance whatsoever against the Packers or Seahawks, or hell, even the Cowboys for that matter?! No way.

Not to pile on, but the fact we would fall even further in the draft by actually beating a Cards team with a QB that hasnt thrown a TD pass in 181 pass attempts is a totally different story. So ask yourself, do you really think its worth dropping from top 10 alllll they way to top 20 or possibly even 25 for what?! The bragging rights of winning the NFCs back to back? So what, noone is going to care about that a few years down the road.

Dont get me wrong, if I felt we had a legit shot at just the NFC championship game, I would be 110% behind us making a playoff run, but here is exactly what will happen if we win Sunday.. We will destroy a Cards team with a joke of a QB, (while falling even further down the draft board mind you) then go get destroyed by the Pack or Seahawks, then all we will be is a 7 win team that will be picking between top 20-25 while our NFCs rivals ALL get top 10 picks.

Bottom line; I hate to say it, but im hoping for a loss.. Sorry

LT is the biggest priority but it probably wont be BPA at that point in the 1st round. I think that a WR or a safety will be the BPA and will be the pick. 

 

G-Man will still pick BPA........ With our luck he'll draft a RB.

I definitely would not mind getting Melvin Gordon or Todd Gurley.

We should be able to give negative pie.

i like Melvin Gordon but not to the tune of a first round pick.i believe Tevin Coleman will be a special pick for someone in the second.
