Games to Watch this Sunday (Monitoring Draft Position)

[WhoKnows]

One note that’s missing in here is playoff teams sitting the last week. NE plays Buffalo and KC is 14-1 and the Steelers are now 2 losses back. If KC and Buffalo win next week and Buffalo wins tomorrow, seeds 1 and 2 are locked.

I’d have to look but Pittsburgh plays KC next week and Baltimore plays Houston. I don’t know what the tiebreakers are but a KC and Baltimore win next week could lock Baltimore into 3 seed and they could rest against Cleveland in the last game.

I think because there could be some locked up seeds this season with the league having so many bad teams that we may see a lot of top teams resting guys in week 18.

We won, but only moved down from pick 5 to pick 7

Well, we accomplished nothing other than tumbling down the draft board per usual. This has been a hallmark of the Tepper era. Suck all year then win a meaningless game or two to go from top 5 to borderline top 10.

I think we could end up picking as low as pick #13 which isnt too bad.

Do you honestly think we win out?  I think we stay right about where we currently are at, around #7.

not necessarily. I'm just bringing up the possibility. We wrap the season with 2 divisional games where anything can happen tbh.

Picks 1-3 aren't moving.  If the Jags win today and next week (Titans, very likely) they jump us.  Cleveland is in tank mode, so I don't  think they win another either.  The Patriots have a brutal final slate of games, so they probably lose out too.  We have the weaker SOS versus the Bears and Jets.  So yeah, this is a very likely landing spot.

Pats are up 14-0 on the Bills

Dang! I don't expect that to last, though. Still, WTF Bills?

nevermind, James Cook, Bills RB, got a long TD score. 14 Bills 7 Pats

The only way NE beats Buffalo is week 18 if Buffalo rests. That’s very possible as KC is 2 games up on Buffalo and Buffalo is 2 games up on Pitt/Baltimore. Buffalo wins today and next week against Jets and KC beats Pittsburgh and those two are locked into seeds 1 and 2 before the last game.

We aren't drafting either of the QBs and Travis Hunter will be first non-QB drafted.  So we are looking at ER1, DT1, OT1, CB2 or WR1.  Still not bad, not bad at all. Yes, I think Hunter is a better CB than WR.
