By the way Heyward has progressed this year because he has played HB and TE, not really a FB but sure could do it if asked. His versatility and athletic ability at TE is wildly interesting, is a tough physical blocker and seems to have really taken to it. Son of Iron Head Heyward, Craig was not successful really at RB but TE/HB he has been great this past year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really isnt, and frankly it isn’t realistic to happen either. Unless you see Seattle beating Arizona, Denver beating KC, or Atlanta beating NO?

Unless you see Seattle beating Arizona, Denver beating KC, or Atlanta beating NO? I can see Arizona losing to Seattle and Atlanta beating NO. Either way 11-14 can be a lot just in a win. Realistically if Seattle or Atlanta do win, if our objective is to draft a QB from new management those could be two teams that could draft a QB. I would argue always one position can be a big deal when you’re in the bottom 15 in any draft. Talent level falls off fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrplChilPill Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 It's also every round......but I do agree, they aren't likely to get a ton of help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they trade away a 4th round pick for Chris Herndon and absolutely awful TE that did pretty much nothing for the team this year. They would have been better off putting CJ Ham at TE. Sure got a 6th rounder in the deal but obviously would rather have that 4th rounder. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how ESPN and Tankathon calculate their SOS, but it's close enough that it's not a guarantee that they'd jump Chicago in draft order with a los.

Unless you see Seattle beating Arizona, Denver beating KC, or Atlanta beating NO? It could be. Once you're eliminated from playoff contention, it's better to be losing so you can pick as early as possible. Even if the draft tiers don't break for you, it opens up more trade opportunities. Realistically speaking, how high do you think the Vikings could go? Or low? Looking at the upcoming games this week since they're capped to pick no better then 7th: #7: Seahawks AT Cardinals - Probable Cardinals win #8 Bears AT Vikings - Probable Vikings win #9 Washington FT AT NY Giants - Toss Up #10 Saints AT Falcons - Likely Saints Win #11 Chiefs AT Broncos - Probable Chiefs Win #12 Bears AT Vikings - See Above #13 Bengals AT Browns - Toss Up Atlanta and Denver both have significantly worse SOS then Minnesota, so if they lose their pretty much locked to pick before Minnesota. So right there, you've locked into at best the #9 overall pick. If you go straight by who is the favorite (excluding the Vikings/Bears game), the Vikings are going to be picking picking between 9-11 depending on how SOS breaks down between Minnesota, Chicago, and Washington. Most likely either 9 or 10. But that's assuming Minnesota loses of course. I believe their ceiling is 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplexing Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) Presuming he'll be fired, Zimmer will pull out all stops to win and spite ownership for doing so. Meanwhile, Ten-Pick Rick will monitor all NFL games related to 'tankalculations', taking a roller-coaster ride of emotions as he does.
