A closer look at the teams 1-7 in draft order as of now

NY-Fan : 12/5/2021 9:49 pm
Current draft order
1 Detroit
2 Houston
3 Jacksonville
4 Jets
5 Jets (from Seattle)
6 Giants (from Chicago)
7 Giants

The remaining SOS for each team
Detroit .576
Houston .450
Jacksonville .459
Jets .483
Seattle .425
Chicago .450
Giants .508
Of coarse as teams win and lose this changes SOS.

Here is the interesting part. These are the games left that are to be played between these teams.

Detroit still plays Seattle
Houston plays Jacksonville & Seattle
Jacksonville plays Houston & Jets
Jets play Jacksonville
Seattle plays Detroit, Houston & Chicago
Chicago plays Giants & Seattle
Giants play Chicago

With just 5 games left there are several games between these teams that could shift the top of the draft around.
That does not even take into effect that most of the other remaining games for these teams are against teams with better records.
Out of all of them

I think Seattle has the best chance of winning some games. But they also have the Rams and Cards.
Aiden Hutchinson is already a Detroit Lion

Based on that. The draft starts at #2.
Kinda painful

that I would look at this thread, meaning once again, the season is toast.

Also some silver lining via the draft  
Leg of Theismann : 12/5/2021 10:21 pm : link
good thing Indy and Miami have been doing better... it was looking for a little bit there like the Eagles had a possibility of having 3 top 10 picks if all 3 of those teams seasons were to turn into dogshit.
as of right now  
Leg of Theismann : 12/5/2021 10:23 pm : link
Eagles would have the #12, #13, #16 picks. Still not looking forward to them having all of those but it will feel a bit better if we have 2 top 10 picks around the spots that we're at now.

Detroit is not a lock for #1.
I can't

Eric you are not helping...

Im hoping for Ed Dodds..
I’ve had a feeling that in the end

The Giants and Jets are going to alternate picks

4 - Jets
5 - Giants
6 - Jets
7 - Giants
Giants need

to lose out, Bears need to lose out except to us. If Giants and Bears tie and then lose out, they both might sneak ahead of the Jets.

The Lions are set at QB? I don't think so.

The out year on Goff's contract is 2023 so if they really like one of the college QBs then they could draft him, work him in at some point in 2022 and let him take over in 2023.
There's no QB worth taking at 1

Seahawks have three good shots at wins, so it's more likely Jets, Giants, Giants. But whichever of the Bears or Giants wins that game could fall several spots. Lots of 5 win teams right now. Bears also have two with Minny and could win one. A tie with the Bears and both of us ending 4-12-1, with the Jets getting past the Dolphins and Jags, would be best. That could result in 4 and 5.
Really hoping Chicago can get into the top 3.  
rasbutant : 12/6/2021 10:21 am : link
I have 5 players that are top of the draft. But 3 are players at position that I want them to take. The others a S and CB.

So three players that I'm in love with for the Giants. After that guys could go from 5-15 based on preference and need.

My top as of right now...
1. Aidan Hutchinson*
2. Kayvon Thibodeaux*
3. Derek Stingley
4. Kyle Hamilton
5. Evan Neal*

Outside the Top 5 targets that also meet a need...
Ikem Ekwonu (T/G), Devin Lloyd (ILB), George Karlaftis (EDGE), DeMarvin Leal (DT/DE), Tyler Linderbaum (C), Kenyon Green (G), Matt Corral (QB), Ahmad Gardner (CB), Andrew Booth Jr (CB), David Ojabo (Edge).

Really hard not to force Edge and Oline, but Lloyd would do wonders for this team.
Agree with you  
jeff57 : 12/6/2021 10:29 am : link
Love Lloyd. And with your top picks. Except for Corral. Treyvon Burks and Garret Wilson should be up there.

Top three is not happening. It is pretty much impossible, you would need two of the Jets (think we have a higher strength of schedule), Texans and Jags to win two games, and I'm not sure with strength of schedule that either the Bears or the Giants could get above the Texans or Jags on strength of schedule if tied. Fourth is likely the Giants' best hope.
