Draft order

ray in arlington : 12/1/2019 7:59 pm
1. CIN 1-11 (-20.5) ##
2. NYG 2-10
3. WAS 3-9 (-6.5) ## see below
4. MIA 3-9 (-7)
5. ATL 3-9 (-18) ##
6. DET 3-8-1*
7. ARI 3-8-1*
8. JAC 4-8 (-1)
9. NYJ 4-8 (-6)
10. LAC 4-8 (-7.5)
11. DEN 4-8 (-11.5) ##

## almost certainly pick behind NYG in case of a tie.
# likely to pick behind NYG in case of a tie
* NYG or DET or ARI would have to play a tie game for this tie to occur

In this listing, ties are broken using the stregth of schedule (SOS) based on the current records of all 16 opponents (division opponents count twice).
Lower SOS picks earlier. The NFL puts out draft order that doesn't include an opponents record in a team's SOS until that team plays that opponent.


TIEBREAK WITH WAS

The first tiebreaker for draft order is strength of schedule, not head-to-head. This is according to the NFL ops website. If the Giants end up tied with WAS, the team that picks ahead is the team that wins fewer games against the following two teams. You can see the Giants are very likely to pick ahead.

NYG: ARI, TB. Currently 8.5 wins (15.5 losses). There's 8 more wins these teams can get.
WAS: CAR, SF. Currently 15 wins (9 losses). There's 8 more losses these teams can get.

Magic number is 2 (any combination of ARI loss or TB losses or CAR wins or SF wins) for NYG to take this tiebreak.

Question for ray  
5BowlsSoon : 12/1/2019 8:08 pm : link
Assuming Cinci ends up with 1 or 2 wins.....are you telling us that if we are tied with either Washington, Miami, or Atlanta that we are practically guaranteed to pick second?

If that is true, then it appears we can win one more game and not be hurt by it. That if we are 3-13, we will pick second for sure! Is this true? If not for sure, why not?

I won’t ask about us winning two more games because I can see there are so many teams with only 3 wins, so,it depends on what those teams are doing as well.

Actually be going 3-13 we will be giving Washington or Miami a 4th win, so one of those teams will pick behind NYG. So at 3-13 the Giants would be 4th (almost certainly 3rd).

Note that I have not added a comment yet on the tiebreak vs Miami. The Giants have a good lead (7 games) and I would say it is likely but not certain.

the Giants have a superb chance of having the #1 pick.

While I see little chance they would trade out of #1, I could see a trade down from #33 to gain an extra pick or two.

I went into this season wanting the Giants to win, but now I see no reason for them to do anything other than get that #1 pick. What an opportunity to turn this thing around...with new leadership and some shrewd moves.
So Gettleman took us from picking #2 to possibly #1

Having the first pick will guarantee Chase Young and have the first pick on day 2. Very advantageous position to be in.

Gettlemans biggest mistakes is hiring Shurmur. His second was allowing Bettcher to have all of his guys, most of whom suck balls.

ray, about this sentence in your OP  
shyster : 12/1/2019 9:18 pm : link
"If the Giants end up tied with WAS, the team that picks ahead is the team that wins fewer games against the following two teams."

It strikes me that what you are trying to convey would more accurately be stated as:

"If the Giants end up tied with WAS, the team that picks ahead is the team whose two non-common opponents, listed below, win the fewer games."

Respectfully submitted and, as always, thank you for your efforts.

SGMen : 12/1/2019 9:34 pm : link
I hope we have the #1 pick and swap with Cincy who takes Burrow and we take Young #2 and get their #2 and #4 picks plus a #3 next year or some crazy haul like that.

I think D. Young is a solid QB who needs an off-season of study and a camp as a true #1 to be successful. But learning a new offense won't be easy but it is necessary at this point.

But we have a lot of holes so 3 picks in the top 35 would be nice. DE Young, and OL's maybe in round 2?

And who is responsible for said coach and offensive line?

I don’t see it....who picks second or third?

1. Cinci 2-14
2. ? Miami, ny, or Atlanta....assume they all are 3-13 (Washington beat us so they are 4-12)

How do we pick AFTER Miami or Atlanta or Washington if we all have the same record?

Go Terps : 12/2/2019 12:04 am : link
Quarterbacks always move up the board as the draft approaches. Between January and April there are interviews, combine, pro days...they hire experts to help them ace each of these aspects of what is essentially a four month long job interview. And they won't have to face a single blitz or discussed coverage that whole time.

I'd expect Burrow to look like the shoo in top pick by the draft. It'll be interesting to see how the Giants would handle that if they pick 1.

I still don't have any trust that Gettleman will choose..  
Fishmanjim57 : 12/2/2019 8:38 am : link
the correct player if he's still the GM. That's why I hope Gettleman gets canned when Shurmur is fired.
This team is a damn joke, the Giants are the worst team in the conference, and that's because of the lousy work from those two men.
ATL is the one to watch out for  
stoneman : 12/2/2019 9:20 am : link
If you assume Cinn and Mia will not pass up on a QB, Wash and Atl are the only ones that could mess up the Chase pick. IMO, we pick behind one of those 2.

Even with the tie breakers in our favor, may be tough not to get that 4th win. Ya, Ya, Ya, we suck, bla, bla, bla.

When its all said and done, I think the coaching staff remains - year 3 of 5 year rebuild.
Hypothetical-If the TB kicked made the kick and we are 1-11

Are we #1 or #2?
LW trade  
Jimmy Googs : 12/2/2019 9:37 am : link
It is egregious to have a team this bad yet we are making moves that force us to pay a fortune to a free agent DL and give up draft picks at the TOP of a round.

And some of you debate the "fire them all" cries?

#1 given that CIN would have a 21.5 game better SOS than NYG.

That kick is 1000% going to come back and haunt this franchise.

It was a pretty exciting win though and easily the most enjoyable moment fo the last 3 seasons though.

I couldn't agree more!
I wonder how many of his supporters would have been in favor of hiring him if this interview scenario could've taken place;

Generic Pro Gettleman guy: So Dave, you're taking over a 3 win team. Where do you see us in two years?

Dave Gettleman: Worst case 2 wins. Best case maybe 4 wins. Now let me tell you a little about my resume...
My nightmare  
Daniel in MI : 12/2/2019 10:17 am : link
And yet consistent with how we roll is that we do something inexplicable, pointless, unlikely and yet self-defeating — like somehow finally manage to beat Philly now of all times when it does nothing but hurt us.

Did he hire wco Mcadoo, citing some analytics based metrics goal of Eli throwing 70%?

Think there's a clear pattern here.
It would not shock me to win two or three...  
Dunedin81 : 12/2/2019 10:29 am : link
of the next four games. Philly is a Jekyll and Hyde team and the Dolphins and the Skins are bottom 5 teams in football. That's just the kind of shitty thing this team would do.
My prayer is we get the #1 pick....  
SGMen : 12/2/2019 11:16 am : link
Get the #1 pick and trade QB Burrow and our #4 to the #2 spot (Cincy) and get their #1, #2 and #3 this year and #2 and #4 next year. Or maybe their #1, #2 and #1 next year even. Whatever but fleece someone.

Get DE D. Young who will rush the passer well as a rookie, trust me. Rebuild this defense.

A few key veteran UFA's to upgrade our defense along with good draft picks and the development of our youth and we could really show improvement next year.

The roster is worse than last year, the defense is worse.
They weren't on in my area yesterday, apparently didn't miss that much. Don't fret, sounds like thy found a new long snapper at least...
I am not sure he will go though?
If they hang on to Shurmur, better make some coaching changes here, starting with the DC.

I don't think they have recovered from blowing the
SB against the Pats. Look at their record since then,
for example.

Carolina kind of the same way after losing in the Super Bowl, you're right

"it's not worse than last year" is the absolute best you can say. It's certainly not better. 'potential' that you have in young players doesn't put food on the table.
