We are at least 8th and have a shot at 7 or 6.

No, we're 9th and have a shot at 7 or 8 but need the Raiders and Jets to win.

So we can still pick lower than the Panthers after they have third place?

I counted Jets, Browns, Titans, Jaguars, Raiders, Giants, and Bears. Oh, I forgot about the Pats.

It goes to strength of schedule and they have the advantage there.

If the Raiders beat the Chargers we get the 8th. If the Jets beat Miami, we might get the 7 if it changes the strength of schedule number enough, but I doubt it. That is the best we could possible do.

Really need the Raiders to win. I really don't want to pick behind them this year.

Unfortunately the Chargers are playing for for the 5th seed right now. They lose and they play the Ravens, win and play the Texans. They have a motive to win.

Nope 9th

 

[Hank]

Currently picking #9 overall


Update: Saints will officially pick 9th overall.

 

[LonghornSaintsFan]

Yeah we are so bad we can't even get a pick high enough.

Only if the Raiders win.

You have to go back to 2021 to find the last time that a 5 win team picked 9th in the draft - and this is even worse with the 17 game schedule.
