Looks like we're currently running 4th behind 3x 3 win teams
1) Cleveland (plays @ Seattle and @ KC, then hosts Pitt, all likely losses)
2 Tennessee (plays @ NE and hosts Houston, at least a possibility of one win there
then @ Indy (possible win?))
3) San Diego (plays hosts Miami then @ Oakland and @ Denver, definitely could win one of those)

then there's the 3x 4 loss teams we are tied with:
1) Baltimore (hosts KC then hosts Pitt, guessing both are losses, then @Cincy (without Dalton))
2) San Fran (hosts Cincy (without Dalton) then @ Detroit then hosts StL)
3) Detroit (@ NO then hosts San Fran, then @ Chicago)

Since they play each other, one of San Fran or Detroit will at least get one more win.
I'm not sure how the tiebreakers would play out although I suspect mostly in our favor since our division was so bad. There are also 4x 5 win teams.
Miami (we lose the tiebreaker since we beat them) (@San Diego, hosts Indy then NE)
Jax (Atl, @NO, @Houston) thinking there's at least one win in there
Chicago (@Minny, @Tampa, hosts Detroit)
NO (would lose the tiebreaker with us since they beat us) (hosts Detroit, Jax, @Atl) at least a win or two in there.

Bottomline: Presuming we don't win out our final 2 games at least losing one, looks like me like there's a real possibility we could realistically draft as high as 3 or as low as 10. I suspect we win one of our final two and a few other cellar dwellers win one of their final games and we end up in the 4-7 range.

3 would be awesome since the value of the 3rd pick is much higher than 4th. As an example using the value chart pick no 3 and 100 would be worth the Rams picks 12, 43, 50 and 75. If we could pull that trade off then we would have pick 12, 3 2nd round picks and 2 3rd round picks.

Good luck getting that from Fisher. If he's not convinced he is ripping you off, he won't deal.

Rams already fleeced the skins with a big trade,they are not giving anybody a lot of picks to move up.

Looks like San Diego is going to get its fourth win which may or may not move us up into the third overall pick. As much as I'm excited about Moore and the way we played last game, have to hope we can stay in the top five as a top five pick is WAY more valuable, either picking or trading, than 6-10. A win or two could drop us all the way out of the top ten, as blasphemous as that sounds.

I want a top 5 pick but a part of me wants to keep the Skins out of the playoffs ,that would be some consolation to this epic failure of a season.

I don't disagree however I think I'd rather see wash into the playoffs over philly and Odell Beckham is making me hate the Giants about as much or more than I hate wash so hard to pick a winner from all those losers

As it looks now since the OP, guessing Cleve and Tenn draft 1-2, but after that it could be one of about 5 teams.

I disagree they are mad for a QB that makes for mad trades.

Do some research on Jeff Fisher trades. He is very shrewed. Like I stated earlier, unless he thinks he is robbing you, he's not trading. They may want a QB but Fisher has never been one to give up assets like that, even for a coveted player or position.

Nah let the Skins go to the playoffs. They will get embarrassed in playoffs. the Eagles and Giants have the talent to win at least one game.

As strange as it is, the Skins are the lesser of all evils in this division now. I will never root for a Philly win and NY just made the top of my **** list after today.

It looks like as of right now we have the no 7 pick. Tied with 4 others at 4 and 10 but I think we have a stronger SOS than all of them.

Last year, a loss to the Skins cost us the top seed. This year a victory against the Skins cost us any chance at the top pick.

That's too bad the Astros are a fun team to follow. This just might be their year.

Well i may be moving to Houston in a year or 2 in search for better opportunities( better nightlife as well. I'm 23 years old and San Antonio's family friendly attitude is boring to a young single man) maybe i will go to some games once I'm their.

All the 4-loss teams lost as well as San Diego, and I'm pretty sure most of those teams have a weaker strength of schedule than us so they're all still probably ahead of us. We can be anywhere from 3-7 depending on how the strength of schedules play out after this week.

San Diego won today.
