Games this week should improve our draft status

This is all assuming we don't pull a miracle and upset KC. 

 

NYG vs WFT - If WGT wins this game that puts them tie with us on record.  I'll be pulling for WFT. 

Det vs Minn - Minn is starting to roll and will move even with us after this weekend.  Plus Stafford is out because of Covid

Hou vs Jax - Both only have one win so one will move closer.  Rather Houston win because Jax is going to be ahead of us anyhow. They look terrible Hou would only need one more to tie and two to go ahead of us.  

Den vs Atl - Denver is already even with us and play us later,  I'll be pulling for Atl to win so they'll be even with us. 

LAC vs LV - Would love to see Herbert and Co. beat Gruden would put them even with us. 

NE vs NYJ - NE will keep NYJ as the top pick and move into a tie with us. 

BTW Dallas has no change against the Steelers. 

I'm not sure of the tiebreaker but we should move up into the top 10 after this weekend.

Assuming all that happens the draft order is

1. Jets

2. Giants

3. Jaguars

4. Cowboys

5. Texans (Dolphins)

6. Bengals

7. Falcons

8. Panthers

Interesting.   We play many of those team that are even with us or will be after this weekend. 

I think our remaining schedule KC, TB,  GB, Minn (as long as Cook is playing) and N.O are losses. Det. Den and WFT are a toss up.  Den and WFT have good defenses.  TB isn't a fan of good defense.   IMO Detroit is our best bet for another win. 

THAN AGAIN.....ANY GIVEN SUNDAY

I can see these teams improving their record before it is all said and done. 

Bengals - who looked good last week against Tenn

Atlanta - If they stop giving games away

Dallas - Just because they play in a weak division

Texans - They should crack two or three more win.

Our games against MN and DET games will be huge for draft position. We really should win those games but if we continue our slump from these past 3 weeks, losses against those teams would go a long way towards us getting a high pick -- both because it's us adding losses against bad teams but also they're bad teams whose records will improve moving them behind us in the draft. 

 

I don't want to finish this season worse than the Falcons. Plus I highly doubt they go QB in this draft since they wouldn't get Lawrence or Fields who are likely the only ones who may be worth moving on from Ryan for, so if they're ahead of us it's another team that probably wouldn't be targeting Lance or Wilson.

Minnesota, if they are playing well, is a better team than us. They looked good beating GB. Cousins can also beat the Vikings by himself which is what was happening before last week.

I'm not so sure. Their D is an absolute mess, much moreso than ours this year. Cousins is comparable to Teddy and Cook basically carried them to the win against the Packers, plus it was a division game which can go either way. They're close to our level if not worse.

As I said before.  Any given Sunday but the Vikings look amazing against GB.  I think they are going to push for a wildcard team.  I know it's a long shot but that game surely put the fire in them. 

Cook was dominate.  When you have a RB like that.  The passing game gets better and they have some weapons in their WR Corps.

There was talk about this on NFL radio and the word is Stafford may play on Sunday against Vikes pending test results.

    • Philly's defense is great and they run the ball a lot and control the TOP (and they certainly will vs us - this is a big mismatch), so even if Bryce is at his best, I doubt he would have a chance to crack 300 passing yards.  Be damn impressive if he does though, but it all just depends on volume, efficiency, and most importantly... not turning the ball over.
    • Even with Cam I don't think it would have been a hard sell. He always loomed larger than life, but most people that understand football understand the reality of the game. One wrong hit, one wrong step, and a career can be over. It's the thing I've been frustrated about most with every GM we've ever had, including Morgan to this point. We never really developed the QB room. We relied on our starters and when Jake and Cam fell apart, so did the franchise. That's the one position that you can't really afford not to develop a plan B, but we do it with regularity. Dalton wasn't supposed to be a serious threat to Bryce's job and Jack was never a threat to be anything at all. JMO, but we should always have a young guy we're trying to keep on the bench with at least 2 years in the system. If they're not getting it, move on, but always keep rotating guys through. It seems like 2-3 years really is the magic point for QBs to either get a handle or not. It's probably not going to happen, but I'd really like to see that 3rd QB emergency slot become a permanent place to work on developing young QBs. I think it could benefit every team in the league because it's so hard to carry 3 QBs on the roster with all the turn over during the season due to injuries. 
    • Agreed which is why I mentioned it and framed it as being certainly an eat crow moment for a lot of people myself included. I'd love to see him shock the league like that. I think the direction the conversation went immediately after is a prime example of how the topic of Bryce Young in general has become so bitter and contentious. The fanbase is split between people who want to see him look like a first overall pick over the course of multiple starts and not just against inferior defenses and people who apparently have low expectations and are just fine with him not looking horrific. But that's not how the NFL works and that's not why we drafted him.
