Draft Position Watch (Week 9 edition)


Recommended Posts

Panthers are currently in line for the 12th pick of the NFL draft. Their SOS continues to rise (.546) which is a bad thing. Here are the top games this week that can help improve the Panthers draft position. The following assumes the Panthers will lose to the Chiefs this week.

1)      Lions @ Vikings: A Vikings win gives them 3 wins, tied with the Panthers. The Panthers, who have played one more game, will have a worse win percentage and move ahead of the Vikings in the draft order. This game has a net 0 effect on our SOS as we will play both teams. We would maintain out lead against the Lions as we would have one more loss than they do.

2)      Patriots @ Jets: A Patriots win gives them 3 wins, tied with the Panthers. The Panthers, who have played one more game, will have a worse win percentage and move ahead of the Patriots in the draft order. This game has a net 0 effect on our SOS as we do not play either team.

3)      Chargers @ Raiders: A Chargers win gives them 3 wins, tied with the Panthers. The Panthers, who have played one more game. will have a worse win percentage and move ahead of the Chargers in the draft order. This game has a net 0 effect on our SOS because we have played both teams.

4)      Cowboys @ Steelers: A Cowboys win gives them 3 wins, but they remain ahead of the Panthers due to lower SOS. This game has no effect on our SOS.

5)      Falcons @ Broncos: A Falcons win gives them 3 wins, and tied with the Panthers in win percentage. This would move the Panthers ahead of the Falcons as they have a higher SOS.  Sadly this win would also increase our SOS, as we play the Falcons twice and the broncos once. The Broncos would move to 3 wins and be tied with Panthers, but the Panthers have a lower SOS.

6)      Titans @ Bears: A Bears loss would lower our SOS.

7)      Giants @ Washington. A Giants win would move both the Giants and Washington to 2 wins each. However, a Washington loss would lower of SOS.

Updated results before MNF.

1. Jets  0-8 (.585)

2. Jaguars 1-7 (.554)

3. Dallas 2-7 (.473)

4. Giants 2-7 (.511)

5. Washington 2-6 (.466)

6. Chargers 2-6 (.508)

7. Houston 2-6 (.562)

8. Patriots 2-5 (.530)

9. Bengals 2-5-1 (.527)

10. Panthers. 3-6 (.538)

When the Patriots win tonight, they will drop to 14th. (They will have the same record as the Lions, Vikings, and Broncos 3-5, and their SOS will put them between the Vikings and Broncos.) This would move the Panthers up to 9th.

If the Patriots lose tonight, they will move up to 7th, with the same record as Washington, Chargers and Texans, but their SOS will put them between the Chargers and Texans. This would not affect the Panthers current position. 

Regardless of the outcome, the Panthers will either remain with the 10th pick or move up to 9th

Looking at the other teams besides the Jets , if we actually managed to lose out we'd have a decent shot at a top 5 pick

Unfortunately, two of the teams with higher SOS are at the top. Reminds me of the Burns draft where we lost all the tiebreakers and NO giving us the last game dropped us so many pics. While we still got lucky that Atlanta, Washington and New York suck at drafting and got Burns, it cost us pick 77 since Marty wouldn’t have had to spaz trade up for Little. He could have just wasted only pick 40 on Little instead of two picks.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
