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

Yes, tankathon doesn't just include the teams you've played so far, they do your entire 17 game schedule.

So who you still play doesn't change your SOS on there, just how all the teams on your schedule do each week.

So if the Packers beat Seattle tonight, since the Jags played GB, their SOS will rise, no idea if it will be enough to give us the 4th pick back at the moment.

Great info, appreciate it

It's going to be T-Mac-WR, Johnson-CB, Graham-DT or Carter-Edge.  Hunter, Ward and Sanders will be gone.  So we can get the best defensive player or the best pure WR.  Still pretty good.

Brown/Graham DT duo sounds terrifying.

Bro, it doesn't take Ray Charles to see it going down like this:

I said this earlier. Those 3 are definitely going to be the first 3 off the board.

 

You basically hit it on the head will we go Tmac/Graham/Johnson those are our options as it currently stands.

It does

But we also only have one player that I think has a realistic shot at being an All Pro next year, and that player is a DT in Brown.

Taking a DT at 4 or 5 would be the most luxury pick a team could ever make given the holes we have.

I'd just hope some team around the 10th pick would badly want a player there and we are able to get a good enough offer to make trading back worth it.

I agree. I was just saying Brown/Graham is just a terrifying thought as a duo.

 

In order I probably have Tmac, Johnson, Graham.

Doesn't matter where we pick if Bryce is still our QB.

This may have been said repeatedly on here, but I have not seen it nor do I read 8 pages of posts when it is mostly shirt talk because people do not respect another's opinion--

If the Panthers somehow pick third (and I see it as a possibility) they will take Travis Hunter, and in my view, he needs to play WR.  Imagine Hunter as the #1, Thielen, Coker, XL as outside weapons.  I am guessing that Sanders (TE) improves and we could try to sign Mike Jackson (CB) to a longer deal-

However, I see the Giants, Raiders, and Patriots picking at the top of the draft.  Hunter will be in New England in all likelihood. 

The Raiders, however, have a shot to lose a game.  Tonight vs. Atlanta in Vegas, they could upset the Falcannots.  They then play Jax on the 22nd--at home--and they should be favored.  Then on to New Orleans--a slim chance at a victory--and then the Chargers--who will likely have a playoff spot clinched without a first round bye.  I do not know if Harbaugh would rest his starters, but he should.

Jax is ahead of us now, but they finish with Vegas, Tennessee, and Indy.  Surely the win one of those, but if not, they will pick after the Pats.  We want them to lose to Vegas, beat Tennessee or Indy.

[MHS831]

Let's say Hunter is on the board--I would take him.  I would use him on both sides of the ball--a dime back on defense, where he might enter the game on second down or obvious passing situations, and maybe in some 01, 10, or 11 personnel packages on offense.  It would change the way we view positions, but imagine putting him into a dime situation and taking the (increasingly dangerous) slot in man coverage or the X on the outside.  On offense, I would use him on the wide side of the field-pulling the defense's best CB out and listening for an audible to him--if not, he just watches.  On passing plays, he moves to X.  In 10 personnel, he would play X, Coker and Thielen inside, and XL plays the Z.  In the O1 personnel formation, (no RB, TE, 4 WR) we would have 5 targets (Hunter, AT, XL, Coker, and Sanders), but the inability to block a blitzing LB or DB.  

I wonder if teams are thinking that way?

Sounds good, but I rather have Hunter if available.

 

The thought of Horn/Hunter DB tandem seems more dynamic than Brown/Graham tandem.

While what you suggest is quite tantalizing, their affect on the field would be lessened if our opponents keep cramming the ball down the throats of our ineffective defensive line. Why throw at our CB's when you can rush for 150-200 yards per game? We also do a bad job of consistently rushing the passer. Going for the best D-lineman in the draft wouldn't be a bad move. Yesterday our D-line made Rush and Dowdle look like Emmitt Smith and Troy Aikman.  

That said, I wouldn't jump off a cliff if the Panther took Hunter. They could then use most of the other picks to solidify the line and other deficient roster spots.

I think I would rather take a pure WR inT-Mac if we were going to go wideout.  Slash type players typically don't excel in the NFL.  The demands are too high for a duel role.  If we take Hunter strictly as a CB, then I would be good.  Hunter and Horn would be a damn good pairing.
