So basically, all we need is for us to lose out and Falcons win one game and we are a lock for the 1st pick.

Well if we lose out, Falcons win 2 games as a part of that... I think Falcons will bounce back and get some wins, not playoffs but close to .500. If not though, our meetings could be huge for the #1 pick.

At least there is a reason to watch this Thursday night football game. Go Dolphins. 

Yep. Jacksonville doesn’t seem all that bad. Almost beat the Titans on the road. I think they’re better than the Colts.

Yeah, on that list I don’t see Houston or Atlanta as real competitors for the top pick. Falcons lost to Seattle and choked against Dallas. Houston lost to KC and the Ravens, maybe the best two teams in the NFL.

Biggest threats in my eyes as of right now are the two NY teams. They're both dumpster fires. Then Vikings/Lions depending on how their 2 meetings turn out but both those teams are pretty damn bad this year too. Broncos have had a ton of injuries and will be right up there and would certainly take Lawrence over sticking with Lock. Skins are possible but I think Ron will get them to 6+ wins somehow this year, especially considering how bad the rest of that division has looked so far.

Elway currently going on an IR binge...he's on thin ice in Bronco land so I wonder if they are prepping to call it a season.

Just added Mark Barron and DeMarcus Walker.

Currently the Broncos have 46 million in cap on IR lol.

Don’t forget that IR rules are different this year. CMC is on IR as well since you can come off after 3 weeks and there’s no limit. CMC wouldn’t have been on IR last year. Lock is on IR but he’s expected to be back before we play them.

Oh I know but I can't find the injury the are placing them on their for. The did admit that Lock will stay on the active roster.

Lock was a shoulder injury. I thought I read 5 weeks or 4 weeks. Similar to CMC I think.

Yeah that I knew just not for Barron and Walker but they finally released it was for calf and hamstring just thought it was odd "they are being sent to IR" with no immediate reason.

Yeah, I think if they know it’s 2-3 weeks they just do the IR to be able to bring up a PS player.

If we lose out the Falcons will win at least 2 games.  Math

Are you cool doing this weekly? I'd love to be able to see this updated weekly all season, unless we somehow win a bunch of games and preemptively remove ourselves from the draft conversation (which would be great, but highly unlikely).

That is the plan!

I would like to see the practice squad expansion to become permanent.

Any team in the #1 slot is either draft TL or trading out of it
