Cards’ Draft Position

[CFLredzoned]

I am going by this. It shows us at 16.8 and Broncos at 14, with higher score being the weaker schedule. The Bears are at 14.5 if that should come into play, which I expect won´t.

I don´t know if this is accurate though.

No, that's based on somebody's power rankings.

NFL.com has us listed as the 3rd pick overall now and Denver.. I assume that’s accurate

I read this
Ties involving TWO teams from different conferences will be broken by (a) head-to-head meeting; (b) best won-losttied percentage in common games, minimum of four, (c) strength of victory in all games, (d) best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed in all games, (e) best net points in all games, (f) best net touchdowns in all games, and finally (g) coin toss.

That would be great for us, but I think that only applies to playoff rankings.

I think Tankathon has it right, where it's based on strength of schedule first. Puts us at #4.

next week vs Atlanta could swing the order

ATL is playing a rookie QB and the Cards havent quit

Atlanta is a one dimensional offense that will simplify what VJ has to do to stop their running game. VJ can take one aspect away & force the Falcons to beat us through the air. That rookie QB has looked awful so far. Might be another 19-16 thriller.

Yeah I went off the same yesterday but I think it's wrong. Tankathon uses the correct method and has Denver weaker.

 

[DVontel]

I’m kind of sold on Cam.

I’m not sold on Myjai. At least not a every-down player like Cam.


Would love a Will Anderson-Cam pass-rushing duo.

 

[GatorAZ]

I’m drafting a QB if I’m Seattle.

 

[football karma]

what i am counting on:

the Chargers play Denver the last week of the season. The way things are shaping up, its likely the Chargers will need to win to get into the playoffs.

Thus, it guarantees the Chargers will do the Chargers thing and lose

 

[Harry]

With Rams win this week and Broncos (Seattle has their pick) having a tougher SOS than us, are we not now Pick #3?

Harry, what do you have us at right now? I only see Houston and Chicago picking before us if we lose out.

Now, having said that, if we play like we did tonight, we could beat Falcons next week. That would be about what I would expect to happen to us. Very typical of Cards history.

The SOS is from the team that held the pick initially. Denver is at .488, the Cards are .520. Weaker schedule goes earlier.

 

[Harry]

NFL.com has us listed as the 3rd pick overall now and Denver.. I assume that’s accurate

If the date is current, oddly they are wrong. SOS is unquestionably the first tie breaker. You have to watch dates closely even if it’s the top response to a search.

Trap game draft-wise for sure.

I’m kind of sold on Cam.

I want Cam as a DE not as an OLB.

 

[Chopper0080]

I’m kind of sold on Cam.

I’m not sold on Myjai. At least not a every-down player like Cam.


Would love a Will Anderson-Cam pass-rushing duo.

Depending on the scheme, Cam might be a 3-4 De ala Zach Allen next year.

I am also good with Myjai. He was always going to be a situational player until he is able to get his play strength up.

Resign Allen. Move Cam to the DL. Draft another good DL/Edge. Sign a mid tier veteran. Front seven can be okay quickly.

Re-sign.

 

[Harry]

Biden signed the bill that will allow Andre Carter to sign & play in the NFL.

 

[GatorAZ]

If the Chargers and Ravens both win the Chargers will have nothing to play for next week as they host the Broncos.

I was pretty damn close.

 

[Harry]

The Cards will draft no lower than 5. Only Indy could pass them.

 

[JerkFace]

The Cards will draft no lower than 5. Only Indy could pass them.

Rams (Detroit)?

 

[Cards_Campos]

Getting an edge rusher makes us no better. We lose jj watt who is going to be barely lower than a top defender. It make more sense to trade down.

Agreed

some week 18 scenarios and how it impacts the Cards draft position:

if the Eagles beat the Giants, they lock up the bye. If they dont, SF can get the bye with a win.

so: SF has something to play for vs the Cards.

DEN is home vs LAC. LAC has something to play for: with a win they face the AFC South Div winner (JAX or TEN). If they dont-- they go to Buffalo.

we want a Denver win, as they pushes the Cards up to #3.


as an aside: If GB beats DET in GB, they lock up the final spot and deny SEA a playoff berth. I know who i will be rooting for.

 

[Jetstream Green]

I only see him going round 1 if he smashes the combine. If he runs 4.6 at 250 and 6'7" and does well in all other testing (which he may well do as he looks pretty quick) it might push him in but I reckon he's 80% there in the 2nd round when we pick.

The interesting this with Carter is that he's a true OLB. Guys like Anderson never drop into coverage, they are stand up DE's essentially. Carter is a rare guy that is a pash rusher that can drop. Last guy I recall doing that much was Josh Allen.

Glad he didn't get screwed over.

I still like to go off the tape and not the combine. I think the combine can compliment, and help qualify a decision already made by watching tape, but I do not think the combine qualifies a player to vault ahead of his initial draft status

 

[Jetstream Green]

Agreed

Trade down, get a stud OL guy and in the late first or rather early second get that UT running back
