A damn near impossible scenario to get back to 3.

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.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
