Draft Position Watch (Week 10 edition)


Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D.

Recommended Posts

The Panthers are currently in line for the 9th pick of the draft.  Don’t be fooled by this. There are currently 6 teams with 3 wins and the Panthers are ahead because they have played more games than all but Atlanta.  Our SOS has fallen to .537, which keeps us ahead of Atlanta (.541), but will be behind the Lions (.504), Vikings (.507), and Patriots (.522), all of whom have only played in 8 games so far.

Here are the games that could improve our draft position if we were to lose this weekend to the Bucs.

1)      Bengals @ Steelers: A Bengals win would move them to a higher win % than the Panthers and advance our current draft position by 1. This game does not directly affect our SOS

2)      Texans @ Browns: A Texans win would have them tied with the Panthers at 3 wins, giving them a higher win%  and higher SOS (.565). The Panthers would jump them in the draft order.  This game does not directly affect our SOS.

3)      Washington @ Lions: A Washington win would have them tied with the Panthers at 3 wins, but they would have a higher win %. The Panthers would jump them in the draft order.  This game has no effect on our SOS as we play both teams.

4)      Chargers @ Dolphins: A Chargers win would have them tied with the Panthers at 3 wins, and give them a higher winning percentage, but lower SOS (.507).  The Panthers would jump them in the draft order.  Sadly, a Chargers win increases our SOS.

5)      Giants @ Eagles: A Giants win would have them directly tied with the Panthers at 3-7, however the Giants currently have a lower SOS (.508) and would remain ahead of the Panthers. This game does not affect our current SOS as we play neither team.

6)      Jaguars @ Packers: A Jaguars win moves them to 2 wins and within striking distance of the Panthers who currently have a lower SOS. A Packers loss decreases our SOS.

7)      Vikings @ Bears: A Vikings win moves them to 4 wins and further distances us in case we win another game. This game does not directly affect our SOS as we play both teams once.

8)      Patriots @ Ravens: A Patriots win moves them to 4 wins and further distances us in case we win another game. This game does not directly affect our SOS as we play neither team.

9)      Broncos @ Raiders: A Broncos win moves them to 4 wins and further distances us in case we win another game. This game does not directly affect our SOS as we play both teams once.

10)   49ers @ Saints: A Saints loss vastly improves (x2) our SOS.

11)   Bills @ Cardinals: A Cardinals loss improves our SOS.

In a complete CRAZY statistical anomaly, 12 of the 14 games set to be played this week have some effect on our current draft position and of those 12 games, we need the away team to win in every single one!  You can’t make that kind of stat up.

     

Position Team Record Win % SOS
1 NY Jets 0-9. 0 0.591
2 Jacksonville 1-7. 0.125 0.554
3 Dallas 2-7. 0.222 0.473
4 NY Giants 2-7. 0.222 0.508
5 Washington 2-6. 0.25 0.466
6 LA Chargers 2-6. 0.25 0.507
7 Houston 2-6. 0.25 0.565
8 Cincinnati 2-5-1. 0.313 0.527
9 Carolina 3-6. 0.333 0.537
10 Atlanta 3-6. 0.333 0.541
11 Detroit 3-5. 0.375 0.504
12 Minnesota 3-5. 0.375 0.507
13 New England 3-5. 0.375 0.522
14 Denver 3-5. 0.375 0.57

    • 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
