With This Win

[countryroads316]

It blows our chances for Scherff, Williams, Peat and robbing a team if they want Winston

We move back to 6. Not the end of the world

Country, you are right that we will not be able to swing a big deal at the top of the draft, but we will get a solid lineman.

But Lion Nation appreciates it!

Well... Chances are The QBs will be taken in the Top 2-3 picks anyways. A trade is still not out of the question depending on who is there and what team falls in love with a certain player.

As long as it takes us off the table for drafting Jackass Winston, IM perfectly fine with it.

And I think at #6 one of the top two O-lineman will be in play for us.

Agree with you VT

Nice win. RGIII threw an INT, but he looked solid for the most part.

Almost certainly blew our chances at a trade down, but either Scherff or Peat will be there. This team and more importantly Jay and Robert needed this win.

Yeah, probably. But there are a couple of special players that could be there @ 5-6. Someone like Cooper who is far and away the best WR. Someone could try to go with a Julio Jones type deal if we are lucky.

That would be my ideal scenario, but no way he gets past the Jets.

silly , everyone of those o/lineman could be there at 6

 

[Sharkinva]

The Jets are likely to fire the HC and the entire staff. So there is really no way to even begin to predict who they will draft until there is a staff in place.

 

[kbso83432]

I think the Jets are looking at Winston/Mariota. If they are gone I see them picking up Cooper if available. I don't see them going defense with where they will be picking. Williams will surely be gone. Could be wrong though. Wouldn't be a first.

Hell we all needed that win

So with Dallas loking like they have nothing to play for how far could we fall if we win again on Sunday?

No further than 6th with the Giants and ATL winning, but we could have been 3rd had we lost yesterday. Basically we are locked into no worse than 6th and if Oak, Jax or Jets win and we lose next week, we'll jump over them.

So, no worse than 6th, but still have a shot at 3rd if those three 3-12 teams all win. Between 3rd and 6th depending on what those three teams do.

Right now Tenn is 1st and TB is 2nd.

IM fine with 6th. I think we take one of the two top OTs in this draft at 6. The question becomes, can we find good safety help in FA so that we can maybe use the 2nd round pick on a guard. As it stands right now we have around $16.34 million in cap space. If we cut Chester and Porter and make Hall a June 1st cut, that brings us to $27 million in cap space.

All that to say this thing is fixable.

You got it. Also - one thing that is kind of a blessing in disguise is the fact that this season has made it ridiculously clear about the needs for this team (well to most - we have to pray that this team has some common sense in the personnel area).

With a few key additions on the O-line & the defense & some coaching changes things might not be too bad next season. This may also be the time where Gruden learns as a coach. First few keys in regards to direction may be 1. if they fire Haslett & who will be the replacement (you would think this is a given but who knows) & 2. will they stick with a low key, reasonable approach to free agency. Should be interesting.
