With a SOS at 0.507, we are largely locked into the 6th spot as our floor, even if we somehow win against Tampa. Our ceiling is 4th, as the SOS gap between us and Houston is likely too large to make up in one week.

So, let's take a look at the games impacting our final draft ranking.

WTF @ NY Giants

This is our best chance to move up. Both teams are toting long losing streaks headed into this final contest(NYG 5, WTF's 4), although the Giants are losing by 18.4 ppg since Jones went out with injury. However, 3 of the 4 victories this season have been home games for the NYG. 

NY Jets @ Buffalo Bills

Although the Jets have been playing better as of late(choked away a chance at a 2 game win streak), the Bills are one of the hottest teams in the league at the moment, riding a 3 game winning streak and in a tight race for the AFC East crown with the Pats. I don't see much hope of the Jets taking this.

I think the Giants can take Ron's team.  We need that #5.

Did you watch the Giants yesterday?  

They basically gave up and weren’t even pretending like they were trying to win.  Glennon had like 4 yards going into the 4th.

Nah, I didn't watch.  Why would I watch the Giants?  Ron's team is bad too so it may be a battle of crappy teams.  I mean, we suck and nearly screwed up to get a win.

Any chance we can get Evan Neal at 5/6?  The way I see it right now, Jax/Detroit probably take the EDGE's from Oregon and Michigan.  Then we have Houston who need lots of help everywhere.  I could see them going LT, also could see them taking a QB like Pickett.  Jets definitely won't be taking O-Line as they have already invested a lot of draft capital lately in that spot.  That leaves the NY Giants ahead of us.  I could see them taking Hamilton from ND, or Linderbaum from Iowa.  Regardless if we stick in our current slot we should be able to get a high impact O-Lineman at a position of heavy need. 

But damn....there is not a lot of top flight talent across the board this year.  One of the weaker drafts at the top that I have seen in quite a while.  Next year is where a lot of the heavy hitters will be available. Of course, we will be right back in the spot next year too, so no worries there! 

This latest PFF mock has us taking Neal at 6!

      Kicker

      By TD alt · Posted

      Well, they're both in the same league (if you will). During preseason, Fitz went 3/3 & Sauls went 5/6, but of course Sauls was 4/4 last night (including one 50+). Both were Lou Groza Award finalists. I believe Fitz made two 55+ yarders last season, while Sauls led the nation with three. Fitz was 13/13 (💯) while Sauls was 21/24 (87.5). Fitz was a 3rd-Team AP All-American, while Sauls was a PFF All-American.  Career-wise, Fitz was 58/74 (78.4), while Sauls was 52/64 (81.3). I wish that I could see the attempts and knew the depth of yardage. I wish that we could compare practice kicks during their training camps, but we can't. Maybe someone with a PFF/CFF account can give that Basically it's just a matter of belief I guess. Seeing dude knock down four FGs and go perfect during a pressure-filled game for him is damned impressive if you ask me. I don't believe that Fitzgerald could do that.  That being said, I'd have to know more. I will say that it may be worth mentioning that we seem to like PFF this year and Sauls being a PFF All-American may be notable. Now that being said, the Panthers may not be even considering Sauls.

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Ive said it 1000x times on here.  Our 2025 season will be dictated by the first 4 games.  poo the bed there and lose all confidence and momentum, we win 5 games maybe.  Go 2-2, 3-1 we got a look at 7/8 wins

      Preseason over..2025 predictions

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I basically made almost the exact predictions on a phone call with a buddy about 3 weeks ago. I really do expect Evero gone before the seasons end, Young to just not able to get over the hump enough and DC to head into next season on a VERY hot seat.
