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...)

You didn't even mention the best QB in the nation lol. Drake Maye is the next Josh Allen style QB.

I think Maye is the safest QB in the draft. Maybe the best, maybe not. But the best ratio of likely-to-succeed/unlikely-to-get-killed.

And while I hate Dallas, there's a lot of satisfaction in seeing the Iggles get their taints handed to them... again.

Nice bears win helping our tank

Also it seems pretty obvious to me that barring injury, the 9ers are taking the super bowl this year. Eagles and Chiefs don't look the same and we all know what Dak will do once the playoffs roll around

Come on, now, be fair -- McCarthy could **** Dallas just as much as Dak could

I’m gonna make a “hot take” and claim that Buffalo may be the sleeping giant this year.

They (like SF & Dallas) have the best combo of offense and defense in the league. I know they are on the outside looking in right now, but I think they have a run in them.

Many WC teams run to the Bowl. I think this year it may be the Bills.

Possibly, but i'm done putting my money on them. I was all in on them 2 years ago until they blew it in admittedly one of the best playoff games ever against KC

If i had to guess, we'll all be watching a Super bowl post-game celebration with a reporter asking chase what it's like to go from here to the champs

I'd throw up in my mouth a little. But if it happens, I'd hope Chase plays about 4 snaps because they actually wanted to win.

Flip side: maybe the interview is Mahomes answering what he saw on the game-winning play:
"Yeah, we knew 99 was probably going to lose his lane, so we just waited, and when that opening came, I just took off."

So let’s get to brass tax here —

IF Giants and Titans lose tonite — do either of them pass us, in the race to the bottom?!?

According to Bleacher Report, yes, both would overtake us w/ losses tonight:

"If the Giants and Titans both lose, they would move in front of the Commanders in the draft order on the strength of schedule tiebreaker."


Don't know how much SOS may change b/t now and end of year.
