What's the highest or lowest we can draft after tomorrow?

I think the likeliest outcome is 1-2 spots gained. It’s probable that 1 or 2 of Atlanta, Philly, Dallas, Detroit and Cincy pull the upsets. I don’t even want to think about us winning. To go from Lawrence, Fields or Sewell to pick 13 after being eliminated would put a cherry on top of wasting enough cap to lose a few of our young stars over the next few years of the rebuild.

So we aren't getting to 3 or even 4, no way do all of these teams pull upsets particularly with a lot of them playing playoff contention teams. The good news is that the Giants, Detroit and Falcons all have a decent shot to win. IMO these are the three teams ahead of us *most* likely to take a QB. 

Now that's not to say the Jets or the Dolphins at 3 couldn't trade with a QB needy team to leap ahead of us, but we at least want to be in a higher pecking order than the above mentioned teams imo. Atlanta and Detroit are the real enemies imo as I could see both moving on from their QBs this offseason.

This is all to say that us winning against Washington really did put us in an unnecessarily challenging position in terms of draft position. 

If we win against NOLA this Sunday kiss getting a QB this year goodbye

And Payton is the kind of guy who is aware of that and will play accordingly.  He laughed when we beat them during meaningless games in previous years.

He will be watching the scoreboard, you can bank on that.  Rhule, meanwhile, will be looking to get that 6 on the banner we hang in BOA stadium instead of the embarrassing 5.

I think, however, NO will beat us--run up a score and then bench players in 4th quarter.

I find it interesting that Kamara wouldn't be able to play in Saturdays wild card game but could in the Sunday game due to the 10 day Covid policy. Could this factor in their intent during our game? Could they possibly know which day they would play with a W or an L at the time of kick off? I know they have an outside shot at the bye but you'd better believe they'd prefer that Sunday game over the Saturday one with Kamaras game status on the line.

    • Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
