Draft Order - Who needs to win/lose

[Tomac54]

Now that the season is over, who do we want to win/lose in the other games around the NFL so the Bills can get the earliest possible draft pick? How are we looking for our draft position?

Re: Draft Order - Who needs to win/lose

We'll move up another 2-4 spots after today. I'd say Arizona winning would be the most important game for the Bills since they're likely looking for a new qb and will probably lose their last two games.

Arizona leads 21-7 right now...

A Titans win tomorrow night over the Jets would move us ahead of them too.

Been a good day for draft status. Carolina winning helps us too.

Re: Draft Order - Who needs to win/lose

We move up 2 spots if current scores hold. AZ and Carolina have stronger SOS than us. Another spot is Tenn wins tomorrow. Fins and Saints were already behind us because of SOS but the wins help assure we should stay ahead of them

Re: Draft Order - Who needs to win/lose

We can prolly pass Cleveland if we both lose out. We are close in SOS. They play two good teams while we play two bad teams. Want Pitt to pull it out against Dallas

Re: Draft Order - Who needs to win/lose

Who cares, we'll draft a bust or a player that will go elsewhere and play better there than he eve did as a Bill.

Re: Draft Order - Who needs to win/lose

This says Carolina has the #1 hardest SOS and Arizona has #2... we have #22. So were ahead of both in the draft order. Cleveland has #20 and San Diego has #27.

Titans have #9 but are at 4 and 9 so root for a win there.

So, Car, Ari, Cle, and the Titans (if they win) pick behind us. SD picks in front of us. That would mean a move to pick at 7 if this is all true.

Which bust or marginally effective player will they draft this year? THE WAIT IS KILLING ME!

Te'o or Geno Smith. I don't see either as a sure fire bust... I don't see either as a blue chip prospect either.

The good news is only the Chiefs have a clear need at QB.

Oak, Det, Philly, SD are no's to me. KC is a yes, and Jax is a maybe.

Re: Draft Order - Who needs to win/lose

Unfortunately we'll win one of the next two and finish 6-10.

Holy crap, I thought this was a 7-9 team with this horrendously easy schedule...me of all people was overly optimistic about this team.

Oakland definitely needs a QB, Palmer is garbage.

I wouldn't say definitely.
