Yep, since the Bears play the Giants, barring a tie, we slip past one of them by losing out.

I’d say 70% chance of 6, 29.5% chance of 5. Just need whoever loses to squeak out a win, some teams might rest starters. Last night if Chicago didn’t decide to not kick FGs would have been great.

I left the 0.5% chance that the Jets win 2 more and their SOS ticks up over ours.

So counting their last 3 games and ours we win out in terms of SOS?

I will add with the OL and DEs, 5 would be a heck of a place to be if any of the QBs show out during pre-draft.

Also, the more I read about Neal the more I don’t want him because I’d rather get a LT since this team is clearly not sold on giving Moton a chance there and by chance I mean more than just some time here and there while Erving is out in preseason. I’d rather have Cross/Ekwonu. Linderbaum would be nice too but solid Cs are still found in the early to mid 2nd, well if we had a day 2 pick they would be. 

Neal not a LT???? I agree tho. Best case scenario we trade back.

Linderbaum isn't just the #1 center.

According to renown OL coach Duke Mayweather, Tyler Linderbaum is OL #1.

If there is a QB there that you like, that is expected to go in the range, you take the QB.  

if not

If there is a LT there that you like, that is expected to go in that range you take the LT

if not

you take best player available that fills a need.

Dream scenario:

You fall in love and are correct about a QB that is expected to be the 3rd or 4th QB taken, and you trade down to that 14-16 range and draft your QB and pick up a 2nd round pick in the process that you use of the O-line.

Not to get the UNC fans too excited but Howell could fit that scenario.

Picket at 7 or Howell at 14 plus a 2nd.

That 14 to 16 range looks prime if we can add a 2nd.  I'm even looking to go down to 14 or 17 and trade down out of 1st.  If we decide none of the qb's are our guy that is the plan.

That is probably the best case scenario. But chances are if somebody is trading up from 14-16 to ~7, there's a pretty solid chance that they're moving up for a QB.

And, assuming we're at #16, we're likely behind a bunch of teams that could go QB. Asterisks by most likely to target QB if there's one they like.

  • Detroit*
  • Houston* (? - they did draft Mills)
  • Giants* (?)
  • Atlanta (Matt Ryan Successor?)
  • Philadelphia (if they don't stick with Hurts. I think it's unlikely they go QB)
  • Washington (?)
  • Denver*
  • New Orleans* (Currently #14)
  • Browns (Currently #15. Baker's future is uncertain)

It might not be a crazy gamble.  If we are picking 6-8 chances are the top LT(Neal) is going to be gone. 

Even if they QB you are hoping for doesn't make it to the point you trade back to you might still get LT3 (possible Ekwonu) C1 (Linderbaum), or the first guard off of the board.

I agree they are probably moving up for a QB.  Maybe for Pickett, mabye the next 2 QBs are Malik and Correl.

My only point is that there is a chance that a QB you like might be in that 12-16 range.  I could see there being a good bit of variance among teams for the top 4-5 QBs.  Howell, or any of them for that matter, could easily be QB2 on one team's board and QB4 on another.

Pickett is the best in the draft and Corall is a little behind him. No one else listed is a 1st rounder. I still want the best LT where we pick. Its time for fans to realize this is not getting totally fixed next year. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You like your Mississippi State tackle Cross at 6? He seems pretty darn good to me.

      This 1000%.  Hey who wants to sign with the guy that couldn't even get his client the guaranteed contract of a 3rd round pick?  Lmao

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
