Patriots had the 1st draft pick locked with a loss today... but they won anyways. So yeah, draft position certainly matters to fans and front office people but coaches and players? if they care even a little, they'll try to win.

I would rather draft #1 overall than later on the draft. Moral victories can't be measured. Draft capital can be. One has real value. The other is cope.

human psychology is real. growth being a multistep process is real. wins begat more wins by building confidence and growth. you can’t build a winning program by losing.

The Tampa game made the result of our game irrelevant. The Falcons were out no matter what.

Our game made the result of that game equally irrelevant.

The Falcons needed two things to happen to make the playoffs. The fact that the one they had an active role in didn't is because of us.

Tell tht to the Colts. Peyton Manning was the #1 pick in 1998.

100% if draft capital were so important why do organizations like the Steelers, who never kick in the the top 10 find a way to compete year after year? Above all they have a culture.

There's some really bad logic going on in this thread. LOL!

      Not Necessarily Panthers Related but....

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      You might want to look at that table again.  Round 2 has the least QB's taken in that time period. What is more interesting is how the "darts at a dart board" happens in the 6th and 7th round. Those are the 2nd and 3rd most frequently drafted rounds for NFL QB's.  If you are strictly using my criteria for "success" it does lend credence to that not being an awful strategy. At 17-21% chance to get a bare minimum of 30+ starts OR a 5+ year career. That's pretty good for a very throwaway pick. I don't know how that would compare to other positions. I would maybe have to adapt what I have done to something like PFR's Career AV to set a line that accomplished roughly the same result as I have from the spreadsheet. If I can get to a number value, applying this to each position wouldn't be that hard. Not sure how "fair" that is without making some adjustment based on averages for each position. I would have to do that as well, I think. A positional "handicap" of sorts.

      Is Canales digging his own grave?

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      While I agree he should have the opportunity to select his own qb, following that does he then get the standard 3 years? New regimes mean new qbs. No coach should tie his future to someone they didn't actually pick. For whatever reason, Canales has done just that. Whether it is being strong armed by Tepper, or overwhelming hubris that he could be successful with Young, it sure seems he has now made his bed.

      One of the benefits of doing a few stints as a coordinator is working under different head coaches and observing how they do things.  Canales has worked under Pete Caroll and then he was an OC for 1 season. Honestly I think he needs more time in the oven and he might be good at his next HC gig.  I'm not sure he's ready for this job and I don't know that he will ever be. But hey I hope I'm wrong.
