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.

    • Such a dumb pick and most of us knew it Ladd would’ve been the perfect match with Bryce But instead they draft XL to fill the void at the X spot because we had a 34 year old Adam Thielen. Then a year later we draft a real X WR and move XL inside where he has absolutely no business being for a list of reasons
    • My logic was hopefully a new HC would have a LOT quicker hook for Bryce. But, that is assuming they would even be allowed. I guess that's a call to the owner's box for permission.
    • I’m not overly defending the pick. I was team Stroud by a country mile but I also knew what to expect as far as ceiling goes with Bryce  I had concerns with Bryce’s arm strength and size. Neither seem to overly be an issue. He’s proven to throw with enough anticipation that he makes up for a lack of velocity. I was worried about the way he played in college not translating to the league. Spending 8 seconds behind LOS. I did also think it would take Young a few years for him to reach his full potential. I also think he’s too smart and accurate to flat out bust which all of seems to be pretty accurate Bryce is someone you can absolutely win with. No one thought he’d be the type to carry a well below average supporting cast to a Super Bowl. He’s fully capable of giving you those 4-5 special plays a game that help your team win. And then you have those rare times where he’s the reason you win like in Atlanta.  All good teams have more than just a QB.  Even the teams that are winning this year all have a lot more than what we have. Supporting cast/defense… more than what we have  As far as Morgan goes I 100% agree. Fwiw he was legit team Bryce during the draft process. I know that for a fact. Last years draft is a complete write off. This past draft still up for debate. TMac and Scourton look solid. I can’t remember the last time I saw Princely win a rep and I’m being honest. Ransom has a little value. I think ETN is a nice insurance add. Evans could be a TE2.    I think this offseason Morgan will get aggressive with trying to land a pass rusher. Whether that’s a trade for Crosby, signing Hendrickson, it’s going to be top priority. We need a ILB. I really like Kaden Ellis. Sonny Styles should be in our draft range. We also need a tight end and it would be interesting to see this offseason with Kenyon Sadiq
