8th pick

[45catfan]

Oh snap!!!! Still 8th by .001.  We need the Vikings to win (they played the Jets).  Certainly that will bump the Jets SOS by more than .001.

Damn.  Pulling for Sam Darnold again. 

The difference between 7th and 8th is 100 points--the same as the 100th overall pick--or a third round comp pick--fwiw.

Not sure if it's 100% but..

Jets .49653

Panthers .49827

How much does a Vikings win change Jets sos.

I think the Vikings will win

It's not even about the points, it's about 1 more player being available for us to choose from.

Herbert.  Sewell.

1 pick early in those seasons and we have a Top 10 QB and LT right now.

Nothing more important than seeing what Bryce has. Now we have some evidence that he can truly be a good starter in the league. I'll take that loss in draft order all day to know i have a qb. You don't have poo in the nfl if you don't have a qb. Playing a season without one is pointless.

If you trade the pick, it is very much about the points.

We could have had Jordan Love and Rashawn Slater in those same drafts without losing more games.  Which would give us a top 10 qb and Lt.  Perhaps we just need to scout and analyze better.

which depending on the talent drop is might not be a bad idea.

Just happy that Bryce stepped up and took starting QB off the table.  At #8, that would be problematic, as it was in drafts past.

Since Ward and I am going to guess Sanders will be gone--and Hunter--We will get a top five or six player.  Gotta feel that on Jan 5 that it will be one of these players:

DT: Graham  (The problem taking Graham is that there are about 6 DTs in the first two rounds that are studs--We could take a more scarce (talent) position and grab a solid DT (we already have Brown there) in round 2)

WR:  McMillan (I do not see him as a top 10 player--would rather invest this pick on D)

CB: Johnson  (most are not talking CB, and I am not a big fan of this, but he is a player)

Edge:  Carter  (He could be a stud--and I think he will be the pick)

That is what I am thinking, of course, people trading up think that as well.

I do wonder if Sanders drops a little bit and then someone makes a move up to grab him.  Although with all the qb needy teams, I don't see either him or Ward dropping below 4.

Unless someone makes a really stupid offer, the really isn't much of a point in trading back from the 7th pick.  Just take BPA there, it's not worth picking up an extra mid round pick to move back into say the low teens.
