The McAdoo Report: Start stacking wins - ( New Window )
I've been critical of the overuse of cliches

that Ben relies on, but now you have Eisen relying on the cliche. From what I could hear in the audio, Ben does't use the phrase "Stacking Wins". And the only reason that phrase has stuck out is that Matt Ryan used it in his post-game presser on Monday night. Did Eisen hear a catchy cliche and thought that would make a great catch phrase in a title?
If we win two more games we could be drafting 15th

That's mathematically impossible.
Well, he is almost right.....

If the teams with 3 wins or less, win no more games, and we win two more, that puts us 6th.....

Now if all the teams with 4 wins, don't win anymore, that puts us in a tie with 9 other teams, so we could be drafting anywhere from 6th to 15th, but that would all depend on strength of schedule for the year....plus if a couple of those 4 win teams happen to play each other, or play those teams with 3 wins or less and win, that would lower our worst case scenario of 15th, each time that happens....

But our strength of schedule thus far, makes us picking closer to 6th rather than 15th, with 4 wins....
Some of those team you mention

Play each other. Someone has to win.

There are 256 games in the NFL season. So 256 wins (ignoring ties for simplicity)

Worst case scenario is that 15 teams all end up with 4 wins and we lose the 15 way tie break, that's 60 wins.

At that point there are 196 wins left for the remaining 17 teams.

Those 17 teams would have to average 12 wins. That's mathematically impossible with 196 wins remaining.

Ron I didn't do an Algorithum just a quick

estimate that a few more wins could have a dire effect on our draft position.
all this talk about drafting third is way too early

It's not anywhere as bad as you think

15 is impossible. 4-7 is the likely spot with 4 wins
I gotta look at the tape
