Regarding draft scenarios


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Naturally, we're all going to look at options based on where we are now. No argument with that.

But it's worth remembering that our draft position at this point is not locked in.

We have at least one, and possibly two, winnable games left on the schedule. That, plus we can still be affected by what other teams do.

Hate to say it because I know some folks are gonna be ready to burn the stadium down if it happens, but dropping down to a lower draft position is unfortunately a very real possibility.

There is a chance the Ain'ts will be locked in to a seed by the time we play them.  If so, that would be a winnable game.  I don't think the Redskins is a winnable game though.  Rivera and his team will be super motivated, and their defense is good.  And we have played to the level of the competition this year.  We might not break double digits against them.  We lose 17-9 imo.

great point.

I haven't looked at all of the scenarios but I would guess picking 7-9 is as likely as picking 4 or 5.  Honestly we probably won't know until after the last weekend.

After last night and the seemingly widening rift between Teddy and Rhule, I think regardless if we are 4 or 10, we are gonna get a QB one way or another.  Could be wrong but I just have a gut feeling.

Even if the top four quarterbacks are all gone before our pick?

From what I've seen, guys like Trask and Jones are late first round picks. Even if we drop, we're not dropping that far.

Oh I meant we would probably trade up. Not that I am a fan of of that with Hurney, but I do think it’s very possible.

We’ll make Haskins look like a future HoFer just like we do to all struggling QBs. Drew Lock had his best game of the season against us. Doesn’t matter what trash is at QB, our D will make them look like a franchise QB.

    • The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.
    • That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO) 
    • looks like the Lions and Bangles should forget about the playoffs, trade everyone they can, and start over.
