Re: Early games- Need 49ers to lose
If the 49ers lose , how far up can we move for the draft?
Browns- 0 49ers 0 early
Fish 3 Bungles 0
Falcons losing 7-0
Well just look at the standings
1-14 Dolphins - locked into #1 pick
3-12 jets
3-12 rams
3-12 falcons
---------------
4-11 ravens
4-11 raiders
4-11 chiefs
5-10 49ers
6-9 bengals
6-9 broncos
6-9 bears
6-9 panthers
If the 49ers lose today, the Patriots are locked into at worse the #8 pick.
If the Ravens, Raiders or Chiefs win, the pick can improve by as much as 3 spots to a best of #5 overall.
However if the 49'ers win, the pick could drop to as low as #12 assuming all the 6-9 teams lose, which is pretty unlikely. So I'm hoping for a big Browns win over the 49ers today, and if the Ravens, Raiders, or Chiefs win, then that's just a bonus.
Update:
Cleveland up 14-0 over 9ers
KC, Baltimore, and Oakland are all 4:15 games, so we won't know draft position for sure until the night is over.
But Cleveland winning will ensure us the minimum of the #8 pick.
