Anyone know why ESPN said we’re #5 in the draft?

Every site I check has us drafting #4 and the Falcons #5.  Now those are current, and not projecting to the end of the season.

Why, you ask?  Two reasons.  First, ESPN's web site projects where the teams will be at the end of the seasons.  So, they run a bunch of simulations and then take the average of all the outcomes.  In essence, their simulations have us winning more games than the Falcons, even if the majority of all those simulations says we will both lose out.

The other sites are looking at raw numbers, with no projection. 

The second reason would be that ESPN has a solid reputation of screwing things up.  That's why I have the stereo on while the audio of the game is muted.

We're tied and according to Tankathon barely have them beat with a slightly lower SOS . 

Not sure who is correct maybe espn has the falcons with a lower SOS . Or they simply didn't account for it . Who knows .

EDIT : according to above the ESPN is a projection of what pick well ultimately end up with , sites like Tankathon are a "if the draft started right now this is your pick "
