Draft Position Watch (Week 9 edition)

[Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D.]

Panthers are currently in line for the 12^th 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.

Bump. What’s an update? 

[Snake]

We may win 5 games and not be top 13 this year. 

[Varking]

Moving on up!

[Varking]

We are in the top 10 now. A loss to Tampa next week and we will be looking at top 6-8 territory.

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

We are now 9th after the Patriots win.

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.

On the other hand , winning even one more game could plummet us down close to the middle of the draft lol
