Here's the best realistic case scenario for the rest of the season.......

Giants lose out, Raiders beat Jags, Titans beat Jags, Jags beat Colts, Browns beat Dolphins in Cleveland.

Even if we sneak out one more win, if the above all plays out, we still could be picking as high as 4th depending on SOS of us, Jags, Titans (Browns will be too high of an SOS to be in the mix there with us all having 4 wins).

But if we also then lose out and the above happens (except if we do, Browns don't have to win again), we're then most likely picking 3rd after the Giants and Patriots (unless the Patriots beat the Bills in Week 18 and we move up to 2nd, which could happen if the Bills have nothing to play for and rest everyone).

The key though in all of that is that the Raiders are then picking 4th behind us.

Giants take a QB, Patriots hopefully fall in love with Hunter and take him, and we're able to bluff the Raiders into us trading the pick to someone else, we get their 2026 1st (and maybe more) to swap picks with them and we get to take the same player we'd have taken at #3 but get great additional draft capital at the same time.

If Deion won't let us draft Hunter, then I want the above all to happen and then the Bills rest everyone and the Patriots beat them.  That way it's Giants, Panthers, Raiders, Patriots and we don't have to worry about the Raiders making the trade with the Patriots at #2, as I'd love to be able to swap back one pick to get draft assets for free and still get the player we want.

But I'd rather the Patriots be there to take Hunter if Deion doesn't tell us no, because I'm so much against drafting him that I want him off the board when we're picking, I think he's going to be a huge locker room problem in the NFL and be more like an Antonio Brown in a few years and pure locker room cancer.

It's weird Sanders is making videos about Vegas and NY as if he's sending a message these are the 2 teams he would play for.

 

Going to be interesting to see who tanks the most down the stretch. Either way I think he has guaranteed himself to be the #1 pick. I think Ward goes to the team who misses on Sanders.

 

That leaves New England/Jacksonville/Tennessee/Cleveland/Carolina battling it out for the Hunter sweepstakes at #3.

 

I'm 100% positive the first 3 picks will be Sanders/Ward/Hunter. After that the draft starts.

That you still can't or refuse to see the fact that Shedeur doing things like that is a red flag, is pathetic.

I can't ever remember a player trying to force their way to a specific team (or two) in the NFL draft.

And no, Eli doesn't count, as the Manning family made it very clear at the start that they weren't trying to get to the Giants or anywhere else specifically, it was that they refused to let him play for the Chargers as their ownership and never shown being serious about winning.

I want no part of any player Deion has a hand in.

If we were a great franchise, with a ton of locker room leaders, strong front office and coaching staff, all of that, then it's not as big of a problem or risk to take one of these two guys.  

But we don't have any of that, you put those players into this franchise right now, and it's going to be a problem.  If you draft one of them and that ends up being the case then we can forget about winning anytime soon.  You take a team as struggling as much as we are and you create that type of locker room problem, it's going to get so much worse than just missing on a pick.

Trade down & stack defense. QB, WR & CB are all luxury picks. This only leads to losing franchises that must rebuild.

Tired of luxury picks like Horn, Ekwonu, Young, and XL. We need core picks to build a winning franchise.

 

I just said this in another thread and it's still not a pro T-Mac post here either.

But if XL and Coker are your Top 2 WRs heading into next year, that is a bottom 5 WR room in the NFL.

In what way is WR a luxury pick right now?  

Outside of an elite edge rusher (and the QB situation), a true #1 WR is the biggest hole on our team at the moment and until it's filled, we'll struggle to pass the ball.

I'm fine, I just want us to draft with our head's for once and not the media darling of the year.  

Can you breath with Deion's nuts so far down your throat?

I noticed New England has the second strongest scheduled left.  Is that already computed\included in SOS by talkathon?

Just was reading the comments yeah not sure why he getting all the hate.  I think he is going to be amazing in the nfl. 

Because we don't see it with him, we see a system that was built for him to put up big stats like his dad intended to do, and we see a player with serious red flags outside of his actual on field abilities as well.

Even if you think he will make it in the NFL, coming to a franchise as much of a mess as we are, is not how a player like him will succeed at the next level, it's only going to create problems.

The Deion show is going to be wild in the NFL, our franchise isn't in a state to handle it properly (and that's ignoring that many don't see him as an elite prospect at the same time).

I mean you're the one who's been venting about how much you hate Hunter and the Sanders family. I think we get it. No need to keep repeating yourself every post in every thread.

 

Here's a beer on me buddy.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      If they draft a 1st round receiver he's gone.

      They addressed D in free agency in a big way (Edge, ILB) and they signed a starting OT and a player they think could be a swing OT in reserve.  They have claimed to be adding "Weapons" to the offense.  I think that will be their focus.  I agree 100% that we need a T, but a reserve, developmental OT in a weak (at the top) draft does little to address that weakness in 2026.  If they are telling the truth, a reserve developmental OT is not a weapon.  The will draft a WR if that statement and their actions in free agency are accurate.  That does not mean we ignore OT--I just dont see where he takes a T if he is filling holes. As a coach, I am concerned about OT, but when I look at the roster, I see bigger immediate problems. S: We are OK if you want Scott for another season. Not ideal.  There is also talk of Smith-Wade being moved to S.  If so, we need a CBN. DT: Who took Robinson's job?  He played a lot.  All DTs (NT-DE) were average to below average, including 280 lb wharton.  We need a DT (my preference for the first pick, to be honest)  I am guessing a DT will be our third rounder? ILB:  Unless we want Wallace out there in coverage, we need a compliment to Lloyd.  I think Lloyd's starting mate is the second rounder. (speculating)  This pick is likely to occur in the second round because it is for a starting position. WR:  Some are fine with what we have.  sIn 2025, Coker had 3  TDs on 394 yards.  Legette had 3 TDs and 363 yards--and only 1 drop.  I love Coker, but neither should make us feel secure about WR with those numbers.  A lot depends on both stepping up in 2026, but Canales has been screaming weapons.  Could he mean Tight end?  That depends on how good they feel about Coker and XL. Center:  You can get a player ready to start relatively early in the middle rounds.  Very similar to the OT situation but I think C may be more of a priority right now than OT.   Tight End:  They seem to like Delp from Georgia who projects round 4. CB:  There was some talk of moving Smith-Wade to S (to learn for a season with Scott, maybe?) and that might require adding CB depth inside. Tackle?:  I agree that we need one, but this draft is simply not strong at the top at T.  The ONLY way to get a quality OT that is still developmental is to take one in round 1.  Canales has all but said we are not doing that.  But after the first 40 picks or so, they pretty much level out for a good while.  The fifth rounders and the third rounders are about the same.  For that Reason, I am guessing (It is all guesses) that they
