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.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      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

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      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.
