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.

    • 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.
