They're getting Sam Darnold, hell or highwater. Much harder to do in the NFL. They are not exactly ditching superstars Could they have really added much in the off season to be much better?

Stan Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Nope because those patriot fucks will find a way to win the super bowl and still get the first pick in the draft Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HigherLogic Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 1 hour ago, Rolltide said: Do we have any real concrete evidence that a team quit on purpose to get the top draft pick? Teams with no chance to win anything will make decisions differently than a team that is contending for a playoff spot. They will take fewer chances with injuries and they will try to get some experience for younger players. That's not quitting. Where is the evidence of systemic quitting to lose games on purpose? I remember in 2011 when the colts beat us in the 14th game. One of the worst moments in titan history. They acted like they had won the super bowl. What did they do the next week? They won again! Winning 2 of your last 3 games cannot be called laying down. Pretty sure they were 0-13 and had the first pick on lock by that time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa Bay 3 years ago. They pulled all their starters in week 17 with a lead at the half to preserve the #1 pick.

Denali Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Better yet, let's tie it into reality TV. Connect it with The Bachelorette. 20 male contestants all competing for winning the chance to propose to the one female, and before the season starts, each contestant is secretly associated with one of the NFL teams that didn't make the playoffs (but neither the audience nor the contestants know which teams were assigned to which players). When the show ends, they reveal the NFL teams that were associated with each contestant, and the draft order is the order in which the contestants finished. The team associated with the winner gets the first pick, etc... It's genius. Reality TV meets the NFL draft. Genius. abenjami 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinx81 Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 I think its fine the way it is. As it stands the good teams usually trade up for 1 great player giving the worse teams at the top more "good" picks. Or if your team really sucks and there is a Sure fire QB there and you dont have one you can start the rebuilding process with him. I know Cleveland has blown about every first round pick they ever had but i think thats more on the management of that team rather than the talent they have. Now that they may have a competent system the top picks can help balance the league out and create good games no matter who is playing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
