    It doesn't matter.

    Management needs to hit a homerun with that first pick

    Or trade it for 2 higher picks

    I haven't bothered to figured out the tie breaks yet, but we'll be in the 14-19 range I believe.

    I know it's a 50/50 ish thing on this board and with our fans in general, but I would have preferred they lost today for a better draft standing...

    Although our cap situation will be screwing our starting team next year...

    Because of our weak strength of schedule we will probably draft ahead of all other 8-8 teams, so probably 14-16.

    Coming into the week we were at # 14.
    #10 chargers 471
    #11Tampa 480
    #12 Jets 516
    #13 Panthers 520
    #14 Steelers 476
    #15 Miami 480
    #16 Saints 527
    #17Rams ???
    The number beside each team is their strenght of schedule. The lower the number the higher the better draft position you get in case of a tie in records. We could have moved up to # 11 if we lost and other teams won.

    Well, we won and the saints lost so now we're @ #15. If the Rams lose to seattle we move to # 16 and if miami loses to NE we move to #17. The only way we stay at #15 is if both the rams and phins win.

    No sir. Their record was 5-10. a win would have them at 6-10 and a lost by us would be 7-9.

    The 6-9 teams were chargers,bucs,jets, panthers. If they all won and we lost we'd be tied and we would have drafted in front of all of them due to strenght of schedule # except for the chargers. They had 471 compared to our 476.

    #11 is the best we could have done with a loss and help by wins by others.

    Trade up and get Te'o if you have to. I am not even so sure he is going to be "great" at the next level...but I can tell you this...he is a good kid....and would be what everyone on this board always talks about a "Steeler" type player.

    He is a better person than a player...and he is a pretty darn good player.

    Sorry, he once farted down wind of a player who was later dismissed.

    We don't need that kind of trouble round here (spits).

    Miami is losing bigtime. No-way they will win now. That puts us now at # 16. If the rams manage to break their current tie and beat the seahawks we'll remain here. if they (hawks) lose we'll be at #17.

    With the way the games fell this week if we would have lost we would have drafted at #12 due to the jets loss. This win in all respects has moved us from #12 to #16/#17 pending the rams/seahawks outcome.


    Was the win against the stains worth this. At #12 we could have drafted a future pro-bowl CB or safety or even possibly traded down. Most certainly have gotten Teo.


    If Teo's combine #'s show him a bit slow he may still drop to us.

    don't ask to me i'm still mad we blow the the 12 pick , but anyway if you want a safety i think no one will be picked before 17 , i want a pass rusher and that's is a different story

    Rams Lose!!!!!! Its official, we'll be picking # 17, the worst case scenario coming into this week. It figures considering how this year has gone.
