The chase for the #1 overall pick

[Mile High Mania]

First off, no this isn't intended to be a kick to the nuts... I read the other article that was posted and when looking at the 2, 3 and 4 win teams with 4 games to go - things could get interested if KC and/or JAX decide to win 2 of 4.

KC is set up well with 3 of 4 road games. Jags have a mixed schedule.
Eagles, Raiders and Panthers... they're only 1 game out and anything happens if KC or JAX wins 2.

Browns, Cards and Lions all have interesting matchups as well that (depending on how the tiebreakers work out), maybe they're all in the mix as well.

It's going to be a nail biting 4 weeks for those hoping to get the #1 pick. (ok, that last part was a kick in the nuts)

We will draft before Jacksonville...thats not my worry.

That game against Oakland is gonna be for the top pick.

Jets are due to break out, Miami & Tenn. is on the road.

If they win, it will be the Jets home game.

We will screw it up and win 2 more games.

The Eagles actually have a pretty good shot at it.

When the Browns roll us this weekend while the Jags beat down McElroy and the Jets....the optimism will be back.

A likely scenario

I'm not worried about that.

It's the 2nd straight road game in a 2-game road trip.

We'll get crushed. Especially against a team that has owned us for four seasons, barring Kyle Boller starts.

I voted before looking at the Eagles schedule. Yikes.

[durtyrute]

we are finishing 4-12

Not for me.

I won't have optimism until we lose to the Raiders in 2 weeks. If we win then I believe we're screwed.

I believe we still end up with the top pick and grab Geno but there are even some scenarios where we don't get the #1 pick but still end up with him. I don't think we need to panic.

Not only that but it won't be the end of the world if we grab a stud defender with our first and grab a qb with our second. Check out whats going on in seattle right now. For the record though i'd prefer we went Geno/Austin/Amerson and yeah we'd probably have to trade up at some point to make that all happen.

This would help.

The Chiefs schedule is too easy. I can see them beating Cle, Oak, and even Indy. And who knows about the Denver game, we might not have anything to play for.

Christ, do people realize how close we came to losing to the Panthers. Basically an easy dropped TD pass by LaFelle (sp?). Consider all the injuries in the secondary right now too. Not expecting Brady Quinn to play up to that level every week. Do we even face a defense as bad as Carolina's the rest of the season? I'm thinking we have a shot to beat the Raiders but the rest of the games are likely losses.

Sadly, it is looking most likely that we will get the #3 pick. The Jags have only one winnable game (Jets), which leaves them at 3-13. The Raiders might beat the Chiefs or Panthers, but their team is a bigger mess than ours. If they lose to the Chiefs at home, they are in the driver's seat.

Sadly, we have a chance to beat both the Browns and the Raiders. I think we probably beat the Raiders and have to hope that the Jags and Raiders find a win somewhere.
