Season is over and we have a few more months of hating the new logo before it is officially unveiled. So we finish 7-9 and in second place in the AFC East. We seem to have settled on a QB going I to next year and pretty much agree he has zero weapons. So my question is, where are we in the draft order, and who do we target?
Its official #12..in 1st round (rotate with SD, TB, CAR, and NO with 7 wins and 9 losses each)....which means as low as 15th and as high as 11th. Kansas City left nothing to chance as the Chiefs lost 38-3 in Denver to wrap up the #1 pick at the 2013 draft. Jacksonville also lost in Tennessee and will have the second selection this coming April, while Oakland which lost in San Diego will pick third followed by Philadephia at #4 and Detroit at #5, Cleveland at #6, Arizona at #7, Buffalo at #8, the Jets at #9, Tennessee at #10, San Diego at #11, Miami at #12, Tampa Bay at #13, Carolina at #14, New Orleans at #15, St. Louis at #16, Pittsburgh at #17, the loser of tonight's Dallas-Washington at #18, the Giants at #19 and Chicago at #20. TB, CAR, and PIT winning helped us move up 3 spots for sure as the week began.
I hope that happens in FA with WR and TE signing.....draft sets up for other D-side needs (DE, LB, CB, S) that way and additional WR or TE depth tacked as it shakes out.
11th is lowest pick, and 16th is highest for our picks based on teams tied with 7 wins on season. SD, MIA, TB, CAR, NO, and STL
I hope it ends up being the 12th pick, damn we could go at WR, CB, DL or OL with the pick. [got my fingers crossed]
There are only 10 teams with worse records than us... not 11. Buffalo Bills New York Jets Tennessee Titans Arizona Cardinals Cleveland Browns Detroit Lions Oakland Raiders Philadelphia Eagles Jacksonville Jaguars Kansas City Chiefs
I think NFL only cares about # of wins to decide how many teams rotate for draft reasons, and from a draft rotation the tie doesnt help (or hurt) them in that regard
Exactly, 11th to 16th is the rotation for all teams with 7 wins (SD, MIA, TB, CAR, NO, and STL) i.e. picks #11 -#16
Looks like 12th overall. Not bad. http://www.bigcatcountry.com/2012/12/30/3819010/nfl-draft-2013-order-picks-mock
It also means we pick 11th in the second round as it rotates up (not down)... but then in the third round we're down to 15th
Looks like 12. They should target: Manti Te'o DeMarcus Milliner Matt Elam Bjoern Warner Dion Jordan Damontre Moore Johnathan Banks Phillip Thomas Barkevious Mingo Ezekial Ansah Alex Ogletree Tyler Eifert With their first 2nd they should target: Stedman Bailey Justin Hunter Keenan Allen Terrance Willians Tavon Austin Deandre Hopkins Cordarrelle Patterson
Its the winning percentage, not the amount of wins. Like someone said, St. Louis also has 7 wins but also has one tie. 7-8-1 is a better winning percentage then 7-9
Ok, cool...hope thats the case as far as win % and not just # of wins for who rotates. dropping only to 15th is better than 16th in a given round so hope so.
Draft the best WR available. Whether it be Keenan Allen, DeAndre Hopkins, Justin Hunter, Terrence Williams etc. Just use the first pick to draft a stud WR that will make an immediate impact on our offense. Tannehill needs weapons.
Not going to be there group: Manti Te'o DeMarcus Milliner No thank you group: Bjoern Warner Damontre Moore Barkevious Mingo Ezekial Ansah Alex Ogletree Tyler Eifert Guys I would love to have: Matt Elam Dion Jordan Johnathan Banks 2nd round guys: Bailey Williams Austin Ertz Poyer Wheaton
Jeffy's idea is yet another OLineman from somewhere in the Big Ten. Hey don't laugh, he's an offensive player......
Sure I personally dont know who Warner's PR man is but the guy is a genius. IMO one of the most overrated guys in the draft. I just dont like him Mingo is another guy that is way over hyped… every time I see him play I wonder what the fuss is **** someone is going to take those guys in the 1st round and they are going to regret it. Ogletree is actually the best football player of the group… just dont want to spend the 12th pick of the draft on a guy with a drug history. 12 is way too high for him.
Chance Warmack anyone? I know Ireland is not going to do but… I personally wouldnt mind trading down about 10 picks and pick up another 2nd rounder in the process. Take a couple WR's in the 2nd and a TE. Could go something like 1. Warmack 2a. S Bailey 2b. Z Ertz 2c. M Wheaton 3a. Sean Porter OLB 3b. Brennan Williams OT
I don't know how the seeding works, but this isn't right. Winning 7 out of 16 games gives you the same winning percentage as winning 7 out of 16 games. The classification of non-wins does not affect winning percentage.
I like to see us draft Mathews the OT out of Texas AM or see us grab Milliner the CB for the Tide if he falls down to #12.
It's semantics, but yes. The NFL used to exclude ties from winning percentage but now ties count as half a win. So in this case I was mostly wrong.
Trade my 2nd 2nd/or 1st 2nd, and my 2nd 3rd, to move back in first.. 1) Dion Jordan 1) Tyler Eiffert 2) Robert woods/Tavon Austin/ Stedman Bailey 3) Step Taylor/ Montee Ball.
