Week 10 Tank Update

[NorthTexan95]

* I incorrectly titled last week's report as Week 10. Week 10 was a mixed bag for Dallas. NYG winning was great but just missed wins for Jacksonville and Washington kept this from being an amazing week.

Current Draft Order / Week 11 Opponent:
1. NY Jets 0-9 .597 SOS / at LA Chargers: a Jets win might be the best and worst result for Dallas
2. Jacksonville 1-8 .554 SOS / vs Pittsburgh: a Jacksonville upset win would be huge for Dallas
3. Dallas 2-7 .471 SOS: at Minnesota: Dalvin Cook must be excited
4. Washington 2-7 .472 SOS / vs Cincinnati: Overall a Washington loss would be better for Dallas.
5. LA Chargers 2-7 .504 SOS / vs NYJ: A Chargers win might be more likely to actually help us
6. Houston 2-7 .565 SOS / vs New England: Miami fans must be torn who to root for
7. Cincinnati 2-6-1 .522 SOS / at Washington: A Cincinnati loss would be better for Dallas
8. Several teams with three wins

In what could be a QB heavy draft at the top, three teams (four if you count Dallas) of the top 7 already have their QB of the future.

Week 11 - Best Scenario for Dallas:
1. NYJ 1-9 .597 SOS: beat Chargers.
2. Dallas 2-8 .472 SOS: lose or risk a two game winning streak next week against Washington
3. LA Chargers 2-8 .504 SOS: lose to NYJ. Chargers are just the team to blow a game to NYJ
4. Jacksonville 2-8 .554 SOS: beat Pittsburgh. It would be nice if Pittsburgh's first loss would help Dallas
5. Cincinnati 2-7-1 522 SOS: lose to Washington
6. Several teams at 3-7

If Dallas is determined to keep Prescott, this could lead to a huge bundle of picks in a trade down.

Week 11 - Worst Scenario for Dallas:
1. Jacksonville 1-9 .554 SOS: loses to Pittsburgh
2. NYJ 1-9 .597 SOS: beats LA Chargers
3. LA Chargers 2-8 .504 SOS: loses to NYJ
4. Houston 2-8 .565 SOS: loses to New England
5. Cincinnati 2-7-1 .522 SOS: loses to Washington
6. Washington 3-8 .472 SOS: beats Cincinnati and lower SOS than Dallas
7. Dallas 3-7 .471 SOS: beats Minnesota and higher SOS than Washington
8. Several teams at 3-7 but worst SOS. Unlikely a team's SOS drops lower than Dallas.

Thanks for keeping up and posting this info, it is very interesting to see it each week.
I still want to win games, but not going to be sad if we keep losing. So this is good to see. It makes losing easier.

I get it, but I just can't bring myself to embrace it.

No need to tank. This team is bad enough to lose without trying to.

I take this thread as information. Not as an approval of tanking.

Players and coaches don't tank

I think we’re going to lose out. Philly and WFT are bad, but we are worse, even if we had Gilbert in. We will lose out and we will get a top 3 pick.

No more tank updates needed. We aren’t getting that first pick though. Jets unfortunately seem to have us beat on that one.

I am confused. Are we rooting for the Bengals (#4) or the Generics (#7).

if justin fields is on the board at the three we have to take him to prevent Washington from taking him.

You're both wrong.

You don't draft a player just to keep them from another team. That's a recipe for a bad draft. At best you trade out of the spot to allow someone else to draft the player.

You don't "NOT" draft a player because of history with the school. That's a recipe for a bad draft. You judge each player on their own merit. In this case, it appears Fields will be MUCH higher rated and worthy of a top pick.

It's a coin flip. In the chart I choose the Generics winning because that could push Dallas to pick higher than both teams. If Cincinnati wins then Dallas will have a lower draft spot than Cincinnati.
