Draft Position Watch (Week 4 edition)


Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D.

Recommended Posts

With the win this week, the Panthers have fallen from the 1st pick to the 12th pick in the 2021 NFL draft. There are 8 winless teams still ahead of the Panthers. Of the 7, 1 win teams, 3 teams currently have lower Strengths of Schedule (SOS), putting them ahead of the Panthers.

 

Here is the current top 15 draft order and the top 8 games that will affect our draft position

1.       Falcons 0-3 (.521)

2.       Giants 0-3 (.552)

3.       Vikings 0-3 (.583)

4.       Broncos 0-3 (.583)

5.       Jets 0-3 (.646)

6.       Texans 0-3 (.656)

7.       Eagles 0-2-1 (.510)

8.       Bengals 0-2-1 (.510)

9.       Cowboys 1-2 (.406)

10.   Chargers 1-2 (.448)

11.   Saints 1-2 (.448)

12.   Panthers 1-2 (.458)

13.   Lions 1-2 (.521)

14.   Jaguars 1-2 (.522)

15.   Dolphins 1-2 (.552)

 

1)      Falcons (0-3) @ Packers (3-0): A Falcons win has the potential to improve the Panthers draft position.

2)      Giants (0-3) @ Rams (2-1): A Giants win has the potential to improve the Panthers draft position.

3)      Eagles (0-2-1) @ 49ers (2-1): An Eagles win has the potential to improve the Panthers draft position.

4)      Browns (2-1) @ Cowboys (1-2): The Cowboys, while having a similar record, are currently ahead of the Panthers due to a lower SOS

5)      Chargers (1-2) @ Buccaneers (2-1): The Chargers, while having a similar record, are currently ahead of the Panthers due to a lower SOS

6)      Saints (1-2) @ Lions (1-2): The Saints, while having a similar record, are currently ahead of the Panthers due to a lower SOS

7)      Bengals (0-2-1) @ Jaguars (1-2): A Bengals loss could move the Panthers ahead of them in draft position, while the Jaguars are tied with the Panthers and have a higher SOS

8)      Seahawks (3-0) @ Dolphins (1-3): The Dolphins have the same record as the Panthers, so a loss ensures our current position ahead of them.

 

*Two games feature battles of win-less teams. All four currently have higher SOS’s than the Panthers meaning their winner does not matter. Those games are the Vikings @ Texans and Broncos @ Jets.

Lol 12th pick. This joint would go nuts.

 

But we have a pretty darn good history of picking a solid player in that general area.

It's sad that we have a history of drafting in that particular area.  I would like to see how they do picking dead last in every round for a few years at least.  But that's just my train of thought.

Beyond brutal. Solid player but another close to .500 season to follow.

I’m already off the top pick bandwagon. Beating the Chargers along with the plethora of really bad teams pretty much sealed the deal. 12th would suck because there are solid guys in the top but I’m fairly certain the studs don’t go 12 deep.

It will be a .500 season or worse with a rookie QB starting.

What they said above. I knew we were rebuilding so I didn’t care about the records in 2020 and 2021. Having a ceiling of .500 is different than a rookie QB working out the kinks and then having a nice upside to 2022+.

I was fine moving on from Cam because of all of the injuries. Unfortunately, we weren’t in a good spot with Cam. He wanted a decent sized deal with us. I don’t think we could have signed him to the same deal that NE did. That said, I want a QB with his upside not Teddy’s. Sure we could build a team around him but that same good team around him is a great team around a better QB.

thanks Leeroy. 

New York (both teams combined) may not win 4 games.  I see the big apple getting the first 2 picks.

The Saints, Cowboys,  Vikings, Texans, and maybe the Broncos and Falcons (who should be 2-1) are likely to have better records by the end of the year.   I see us between 5-7, but anything can happen.  Dallas is 1-2 and the SOS is .400.  yikes---one onside kick from 0-3.

    • Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.          
    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
