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.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
