Best case 3-5 draft order - New England Patriots Forums

***WhiZa*** · 02-20-2008, 11:27 AM

Atlanta, Oakland and Kansas City need to flip a coin to decide the draft order. What do you all think is best case for the Pats? I'd like to see the Chiefs ahead of the Falcons in case they want to take Matt Ryan. Letting J Long fall.

Atlanta and Oakland will flip a coin for the third position; if Atlanta wins, the Falcons will draft third, the Raiders fourth, and the Chiefs fifth. If the Raiders win the coin flip, they will draft third, and the Falcons and Chiefs will flip a coin to determine the fourth and fifth positions.

I don't think it really matters all that much.

I don't really care about round 1 as they're all ahead of us but whichever spot gets the Raiders highest in Round 3, where we have their pick, is where I want them to be. The tied teams rotate through the spots but I don't know how the rotation works exactly.

The Best the pats can do is the 5th pick in the 3rd round because it is accually a 4 team rotation becasue the Jets have the same record they just had a diffrent SoS

Do you know where we want the Raiders' #1 pick to be for that ? I don't know if they rotate forward or backward with each round.

OAK picking at #3 would ensure they pick #5 in the third round (OAK-*-*-JEST, *-*-JEST-OAK, *-JEST-OAK-*). It's a 50-50 shot whether the Pats get the #5 pick or the #6 pick in that round.

How the #3, #4 and #5 picks fall out could have some impact on us as far as potential trading partners for teams trying to jump up for a favorite player. (ie: Dallas)

If Dallas were to swoop in and get McFadden by trading with the Jets, that would have a huge impact on us.
