One interesting thing about sucking, in addition to getting a high draft pick is that for all of camp, and through the first few weeks of the season we're picking #2.
So when other teams cut players now, we have practically first dibs. And this should really help with the bottom of the roster after final cuts. There will be a number of teams cutting players on their 53 hoping to get on their practice squad we will have a chance to swoop up.
Keep you eyes on the deeper rosters, especially the Eagles, Rams, Saints, Jags, and Vikings.
We'll be waiting to pounce. It will be like a second draft. I'd expect our Pro personal scouts, where DG thrived early in his career, to be super busy this offseason scouting those top teams (as well as elsewhere in the league)
Basically, I'd look at the guys who get jerseys + backup QB who might be inactive. So that's about 47 guys. I'd be very surprised if less then 3 players cut at the end of roster cut down from other teams aren't on our opening day roster. I could easily see LB, RB, OL, DB from another team filling a spot on our roster.
I saw people posting on the thread of pickups, and I think we're just going to be more active because we are up high and we have depth issues.

Nope we're @ #2 until at least Week 3
From the first business day after the Super Bowl until the day after the third regular season week, assignments are based on a claiming order that is the same as the order in which clubs selected in that year’s Draft. From the beginning of the fourth regular season weekend through the Super Bowl, assignments are based on the inverse order of their win-loss record.
NFL WAIVER SYSTEM OVERVIEW - ( New Window )
I've been intrigued by QB Brandon Silvers who supposedly got offers from both the E-gals & the Aint's. And Nola got Boston Scott too, but that was a pick, so I don't think they're gonna cut him loose, though I'd much rather see him running backs kicks than our #2 pick. The Boys got Jordan Chunn as an UDFA, and that's a RB who has interested me since I saw him. And I still think the Giants could use a short yardage power RB. It's not Barkley's forte, and they've got Elliot who's really good at it.
Another benefit of sucking

Get first dibs on waiver wire.
By "first" of course I meant early or actually 2nd...
This isn't fantasy football. It's done that way in fantasy football to keep it FA pickups fair throughout the season.
