If Alex Smith was taken No.1 either Brohm or Ryan could go in the top-4. Big x-factor is who they decide to bring in and coach the team next season.
Plllleeeaassseeeee give me a break! Norwood aint even on the same playing field as McFadden... McFadden is on a whole nother planet in terms of Norwoods skill and potential.
Atlanta needs a qb way more than they need a rb and norwood and dunn is still a solid combo. It really depends on what coach they hire too, but the right choice would be a qb.
Man, if LJ is getting old, then I must be too because it seems like yesterday that they drafted him. I'm too lazy to look into it, but I don't think he's that old (still in his 20s I'm pretty sure). Injury prone...I don't know. This is really the only major injury he's had, isn't it?
LJ is 28, I thought he was 30. I guess it's his Prime, so If I were KC, I would consider DMC. LJ has only one year completely injury free....2006. In 2005 he played all 16 games but missed some playing time during the games due to nagging injuries. The years 2003, 04 & 07 he missed significant time.
Jets' Must Lose To CHIEF's Jets' must lose to Chiefs this week. If Jets' lose, they may be in line for the #2 - #4 pick in the draft. If Jets' win, they could fall all the way to the #7 pick. A huge difference. If Jets' win, then they really lose. Chiefs are gonna try to hand this game to the Jets' & Jets can't fall for it. This game is huge for draft position. Chiefs are riding a nice 8 game losing streak.

Ok, a summary, correct me if I'm wrong: If the Jets WIN, KC, Oak, Bal LOSE We pick 6th if the Falcons win, 7th if the Falcons lose If the Jets WIN, KC LOSE Oak and Bal WIN We pick 4th if the Falcons win, 5th if the Falcons lose *The above assuming that KC, Oak, and Bal will still have weaker schedules than us after Week 17. If the Jets LOSE, KC, Oak, Bal, Atl are all out of the equation because they all have more wins than us no matter what with the exception of Atl but they have a stronger schedule. So it comes down to us and Stl. Jets pick 2nd if Stl wins, 3rd if Stl loses. So the Jets can pick anywhere from 2nd to 7th. If the Jets WIN, they cannot pick in the top 3 and will pick 4th, 5th, 6th, or 7th. If the Jets LOSE, they will pick in the top 3 no matter what and will pick either 2nd or 3rd. Is my summary correct? EDIT: I just checked out the strength of schedules for some of the teams and crunched some numbers: here's the scenario: based on the table on page 2 (as of week 15) Jets: .522; Plays Titans (now a .600) and Chiefs (now a .267) Ravens: .509; Plays Seahawks (now a .667) and Steelers (now a .667) Raiders: .509; Plays Jaguars (now a .733) and Chargers (now a .643) Rams: .509; Plays Steelers (now a .667) and Cardinals (now a .467) based on the above numbers (will always change due to change in record) Jets will finish: .511 Ravens will finish: .529 Raiders will finish: .531 Rams will finish: .516 I think the Ravens and Raiders' schedules will end up stronger than the Jets' schedule. So I think (hopefully it's right) that the Jets will end up picking no worse than 5th even if they win. But the winning percentage of a team will change every week and thus other teams' strength of schedule will change accordingly, so these numbers will be different by Week 17. However, I think the Ravens and Raiders (each playing a playoff team in week 16 and 17) will end up with stronger schedules. The strength of schedule also works retrospectively, so the Jets current strength of schedule will change based on week 16 results. So whether the Jets or Rams would hold the tiebreaker is far too close to call at this point. It's something to keep in mind though.
Does anybody know what the situation is for the draft tie breaker (which I believe is opponents strength of schedule)? I remember a couple years ago people had this completely covered but I haven't seen anything yet this year.
I made this post in an earlier thread. It has some information regarding the possibilities. That entire thread has some useful information. http://forums.theganggreen.com/showpost.php?p=729919&postcount=72
My son said the team that played a "weaker" schedule picks ahead of the team that played a "stronger" team
The 1st tie-breaker is strength of schedule. So let's say 3 teams are tied for the worst record with 2-14. If their strength of schedules (SOS) are .480, .500, .520, they would pick in this order: 1. Team A, 2-14, SOS .480 2. Team B, 2-14, SOS, .500 3. Team C, 2-14, SOS .520. Every 3 or 4 years, teams will tie both record and SOS, they then flip a coin. I'm pretty sure the Falcons and Browns were involved in a coin flip b/w the 8th & 9th picks last year.
Haha i was so confused because this thread was under "Draft Chris Long" Draft Chris Long Draft Tiebreaker !!
They spelled his name wrong but Ty Breaker should be a decent corner. He has problems with mouthing off to everyone but he should go the early 20's of the first round. I hear he has a 97 rating in NCAA though.
I think there are two intermediate levels between SOS and coin flip. division and conference record. http://forums.theganggreen.com/showthread.php?t=24848 http://football.about.com/od/miscinformation/a/detdraftorder.htm
