Bears and Jets asserting their dominance among the league's lesser lights, putting our high pick on a little more solid ground -- good on you, boys!
Assuming we lose out (we could f*** that up, but I'm going to play the optimist), our best shot at getting into the top 3 is probably the Pats winning 2 more (I think they'd need to out-win us, in a tie we'd go lower b/cause the H@H win) -- (vs. NYJ and DEN). Realistically, we're probably more likely to end up #4 OA, which should be the perfect spot to land Fashanu (or Alt, if someone does something weird in front of us.)
Catching up on comments from the last few days, I'd be surprised if Nix or Penix will be there as options for a second rounder, and even if they are, they'd have to be an insane value vs. what else is available for me to want to pull the trigger on a backup w/ a high 2nd. I never thought much of Nix at AUB, but he might really have turned the corner after leaving. I think Penix could be a very good QB, but I wonder for how long -- his body has already had a career full of injuries.
I think Daniels is going to be a star -- he's got a monster arm and the ability to hit the deep throws from the pocket as well as on the run, and he might be the best running QB not named Lamar. The team that drafts him will work with him to add about 10 more good pounds, and he'll be fine.
All that said, I think whatever fan base gets Caleb is going to live the world's most insane roller coaster -- otherworldly highs and the shrieking terror that every move could be the one that gets his body snapped in half. (Please, God, don't let it be us...)
