How many draft spots did this win cost us?

Doesn’t matter if they don’t draft they right people.

This team hasn't sniffed a title in almost 25 years and dudes are still worried about drafting 4 spots lower.

Our draft slot hasn't meant a thing in all of that time.

You are totally correct. I apologize and regret the OP. Mods please delete thread and ban me until after the draft

We were never going to be any higher than 14 or 15. So it cost us 2 or 3 spots.
And knowing the way drafts go, who ever is there at 17, we still would pick at 14. So it makes no difference.

I went through the scenario last week, and too many 7-9 and 6-8 teams playing each other or playing teams they would have lost to. No way we were getting to #12.

Not true. Compare the SOS on 7-9 teams.

Raiders not getting the two point conversion today and subsequent loss moves them from 17 to 12.

Not gonna complain. We needed to play to win even if we were going to get smoked iin a playoff game.

Not enough to get in a twist about.

The win means nothing. This probably wont either after the last 3 drafts.

Who cares? The point of drafting well is to win games.

I couldn’t care less. Beating the Commanders for an old fan like me living in their territory
IS PRICELESS

Yes it is

If Jerrahs in charge they will probably draft someone who has some sort of ailment, someone coming off a career ending injury or someone with behaviour issues...

Cause Jerrahs done so well redeeming all these players in the past

5 draft spots is a lot at that point in the draft. There may not be that many players with first round grades. There would likely be 4-8 available 5 spots higher up in the draft order.

A loss would have put us at the 12 seed. We will pick 17.

a top 12 pick sure would be nice right now

Wrong.

Go look at the teams picking above us at 7-9. By strength of schedule, (ours is .479) we would have moved above the Raiders at #12 (.482) and below the Jets at #11. (.473) So, yeah. We would have picked at #12 with a loss today. You really shouldn't speak in absolutes when you don't know what you're talking about.

I'm not sure the Cowboys could have lost to the Commanders that showed up to today if they tried.

It's not. In fact, I might be in favor of dropping another few spots to get a 3rd rounder back.

Cattle_Rancher · Dec 29, 2019

You had to go for the W cause you didn’t know what was going to happen with the Eagles. If the Eagles had played at noon and won then I imagine you would of seen backups vs Commanders. I’d love to have and earlier pick but can’t fault them today. Now a couple years ago they played for the win vs the Eagles with nothing on the line I felt should of played backups.

Skillit · Dec 29, 2019

I could not care less about draft spot.

We can draft a bust at 12 or a HOFer at 20.

I hope we go OL and get our running game back to where it was 3 years ago when we were mashing people and controlling the clock. Dak can win games like that.

He can’t be a 40 million dollar knock off of Drew Brees. He isn’t that good, but he’s good enough if we build a complete team around him.

Chrispierce · Dec 29, 2019

Well that’s the dilemma now with Garrett isn’t it? He puts you in this rock in a hard place position where you’re having to get that last win,when it’s also opportunistic draft wise if you lost.

oh wow a call out post, I went by what was going on a week ago. Stop being an idiot yourself. I have no use for you and your call out BS.
Jist state your business without the stupid BS. Tells me everything I need to know how,you are.

Awww. Tried to come in and correct somebody, but was wrong himself. And then got his feelers hurt.

Right now there are 3 teams tied at 8-7 and 6 at 7-9. I believe they use some kind of strength of schedule formula to decide on the draft order when teams are tied. Its possible that this cost us 6 draft spots. Right now we are drafting 17-19.

Figures, way to go red. You knew the skins and gnats were not going to hurt there draft spots.

Hardline · Dec 30, 2019

It means the player I want to fall to us will get picked one spot ahead of us.

How many draft spots did this win cost us?
