If we are inthe top 10 we are getting a really good pick. Not worried about it

I do not agree about the worrying part, but if we do---here is my Big board top 10:

Trevor Lawrence

Clemson

QB  Gonna be gone.

Penei Sewell

Oregon

T   One of the best LTs in years—top 3 pick

Justin Fields

Ohio State

QB  He might be the third best QB

Zach Wilson

BYU

QB  Good fit for Brady’s system

Trey Lance

North Dakota State

QB  I have always liked him—real deal

Micah Parsons

Penn State

OLB  A good LB, but we have bigger needs

Gregory Rousseau

Miami-Fl

DE  A three-headed pass rush + Brown?

Caleb Farley

Virginia Tech

CB  Best CB in the draft—big need

Patrick Surtain II

Alabama

CB Maybe the best CB in draft.

Ja'Marr Chase

LSU

WR  Best WR in draft—if we can’t keep Samuel

Washington is playing for a divisional title, Ron's not going to fuq us and lose on purpose.

No, but if we play as if we have nothing to lose, and RR is playing conservatively, it can work against him--pressure vs. no pressure; risky play calling vs. conservative, etc. The most dangerous opponent is one with nothing to lose, hoping to earn respect at your expense.

Let's say Ron finds a way to screw us again in late December:

I added week 17 opponents and predictions to gauge where we'd be if we won vs. Washington.  SOS is always difficult to impossible, so I am assuming that it does not change much--of course, it could create a margin of error of about 1 pick or 2 picks in extreme situations.

13. e-Chargers  6-9  (-3 Broncos) SOS: .484; Week 17—at KC.  KC could have it wrapped up and decide to play the second team.  Do not rule out an upset here, but if the Chargers beat Denver week 16, this has no impact on Carolina (Prediction: L, 6-10)

12.  Eagles 5-9-1 (Dallas-1.5 pts)  SOS—not a factor  Week 17—vs. Washington (this will be a close game, especially if it is for the division, prediction L, 5-10-1)

11. e – Broncos 5-10 (Chargers +3 ) SOS: .558  Week 17—vs. Raiders (cold in Denver in Jan, Raiders with nothing to play for—Lock trying to secure job, prediction W, 6-10)

10. e -- Texans  5-10  (Houston is 8 point favorites vs. Cincy)  SOS: .551; Week 17---vs. Tennessee (The Titans could have a playoff bid locked up and empty the bench, but I think they will still be in a fight with Indy, prediction L   5-11)

9.  e -- 49ers 5-10 (Cards +5) SOS: .547; Week 17—vs. Seahawks (Seattle should need this game. Prediction L, 5-11)

8. Panthers 5-10  (IF PANTHERS WIN vs Washington) SOS: .531; Week 17—vs. New Orleans (This could get interesting because the Saints may only be playing for the difference between the #2 and #3 seeds—if so, and Brees is still a bit banged up, Hill could be the QB. I think he should have sat for the KC game, but Brees likes the national TV games.  Prediction L (5-11)

7. e – Lions 5-10 (Buccaneers +9.5) SOS: .509; Week 17—vs. Vikings.  Bad teams are so difficult to predict, but I give the edge to Minnesota in a close game and Stafford’s last in Detroit.  Prediction, L  5-11)

 

6. Giants 5-10 (Ravens +10)  SOS: .502 Week 17:  vs. Dallas.  Who can predict the NFC East?  Dallas on road in cold in January?  Prediction W, 6-10)

5. e -- Cowboys 5-10 (Philly is slightly favored over Dallas-1.5 pts) SOS: .475; Week 17---at Giants. The good news?  If the Giants and Cowboys are sitting there with 5 wins going into week 17, only one team picks before the Panthers at the end of the day.  Prediction L  5-11). 

4. e -- Falcons  4-11  (KC will win) SOS: .536; Week 17—at Tampa Bay.  Bucs probably in a wild card or division race, so it could get ugly.  Prediction, L , 4-12)

 

3. e -- Bengals 3-11-1 (Houston -8); Week 17---Bengals play Baltimore and lose.  If the Bengals lose to Houston and Baltimore, they wrap up the #3 spot in the draft, and that is likely.  3-12-1)

2.  e -- Jets  1-14  Week 17—at New England.  Slight chance of winning that one.

1. e -- Jaguars  1-14  Week 17—at Colts---Jags win the Trevor Sweepstakes. 

SOS: Strength of Schedule as of 12/23/20

If the Panthers lose both games, they will be  4th  through 6th  overall if all favorites win, depending on SOS

Here are the standings if all goes as predicted above (Panthers winning 1, losing 1):

 

1.      Jaguars 1-15

2.      Jets 1-15

3.      Bengals 3-12-1

4.      Falcons 4-12

5.      Cowboys 5-11

6.      Lions 5-11

7.      Panthers 5-11

8.      49ers 5-11

9.      Texans 5-11

OK, let's assume we lose out--I see about a 10% chance of us picking at #3, a 50% chance at #4 and a 40% chance at #5.  Completely speculative.

If we win one and lose one, I see us at #7 or #8

If we win both games left, I will not care about our place because I will be on my way to Mint Street with a ski mask and a sock full of pennies to give some folks the beat down of all beat downs.

I'm not bitter with Ron, but even if I was I can see the big picture and don't give a single poo about a petty revenge game.

 

Bengals won Monday. We have a real shot at 3.

They play Houston, and I could not believe that Houson was favored by 8.  I would have guessed 4 or 5.

We played GB close so since when is WAS on same level as them? I think a panther win is highly possible

We played everyone except Tampa and Detroit close.  And lost most of them in the end.  We played Denver just as close as we did Green Bay and KC.  And Washington has a better defense than most of the teams we have played this season.  While anything is possible, Washington will likely beat us.

    • Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

    • 2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
