The #6 pick has a draft value of 1,600. If somebody wants their QB up there it's worth more.

For argument's sake only that's the #10 pick plus a second rounder in return. I'd have a hard time passing that up if Key is off the board.

WalterFootball has Ferrell going #14 to the Raiders. I would be happy if they drafted him and used the 2nd rounder on BPA.

For what it’s worth, the Bills two current picks add up to 1700.

Personally, I'd run up to the podium if McGlinchey is there when we pick. Otherwise Christian Wilkins and Saquon Barkley round out my top 3 right now. (Yes I still like Jordan Howard, but I think you take the playmaker when he's available and Fournette is a huge reason the Jags are winning this year)

In the 2nd, if either WR Equanimeous St. Brown or Simmie Cobbs reach us in the 2nd I do cart wheels down the isle.
Otherwise I'm looking for CB Joshua Jackson from Iowa.

If we could trade back into round 3...
Sione and Maea Teuhema, if they pass scrutiny in interviews, would be my ideal 3rd round picks. Very athletic OLB and a huge mauling guard who can slide out to Tackle in a pinch and our O line gets pinched a lot.
I will kill you if you cut me at the knees. You will drink with me when invited and stay til I say so. We only listen to American Music. I make men nervous with just my presence. I expect an apology if you hold. I throw linemen at QB's. Believe the Lore!

Today's win only cost 2 draft spots (1 down vs 1 up if Bears had lost). The next will probably be a lot more expensive, though.

Looking at those teams I think any chance we can trade back for a QB need team is slim. I could see almost all of them taking one except Houston.

And SF.
But, yeah, the QBs and Sasquatch will likely all be gone at that point.

If we stay at 7, the pickings for positions we need should be good.
If we win a couple more, which seems likely, the pickings from 12-14 are likely to suck, relatively speaking.

Arizona and the Jets seem like the most logical of choices for a trade partner but you're right - there would have to be one available that a team below us would really want.

We might well end up picking outside the top 10 this season now. The teams around us have harder run ins, especially if the Vikings don't have much to play for.

I'm back on the optimism train. We play like that against the Lions and the Browns and we have a good shot at winning both. Man, we only lost to the Vikings by three so how much better is our offence now compared to falling back on defence?

I think we can beat the Browns for sure, and I'm 50/50 on the Lions. It would be fun to win out, as long as it doesn't mean Fox gets to keep his job.

I'm not sure I care much about the end results any more, I just want Trubisky to continue to ascend playing solid football.

John Fox is not driving the optimism train!

some mild interest:

1 Cleveland 0-14
2 NY Giants 2-12
3 Indianapolis 3-11
4 HoustonCLE Cle4-10
5 San Francisco 4-10
6 Chicago 4-10
7 Tampa Bay 4-9
8 Cincinnati 5-9

-49ers on a 3 game win streak, but they close out with the jags and the rams. that's pretty tough.
-colts and houston end the season. if the texans win and we continue to be horrible, we could end up top five and ahead of cleveland's second pick, which could get really interesting if they try and get by not taking a qb first overall.

So it looks like 3-14 is possible, but 5-10 is the most likely range.
If I had to pick, I'd bet on 9.
I think they beat Cleveland, but can't take out a MIN team, even playing half backups.

You'd imagine the Texans will beat the Colts and whilst Jax and the Rams are good I'm holding out hope Garoppolo stays hot and takes one game.

Bucs, Bengals and Jets lose out which puts us behind them on strength of schedule (it's killing us!). Denver gets a win to stay ahead.

That takes us to 8th, enough to make you want Fox to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in an othewise promising performance against the Browns. That makes us 4th.

In that scenario I'd sell it to Buffalo for their 2 first rounders.

Wab's mock draft has McGlinchy, Ridley, and Ferell on the board at the time of Buffalo's two picks. Any two of those three works, but put me down for Ferrell and Ridley.

Correct, but if Philly win's tonight against Oakland, they will lock up home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.

It would be in our best interest, from a draft perspective, for Oakland to win tonight so Minnesota comes out next week with something to play for to close out the season.

They still have yet to wrap-up a first round bye.

I mean, what's the best we can do at this point?

When you start talking about the difference between the 8th or 11th pick.

A 3rd round pick, which we currently do not have.

Looks like the lowest we will be picking is 13th, highest is 5th.

Realistically? I think we will be picking 9th when it's all said and done.

OT, OLB, CB looks like the move in round 1... Minkah Fitzpatrick is who I am hoping we can land (assuming our brass believes he can be a top-tier corner)... love the idea of Fuller and him on the outside.

Otherwise, I'd have to heavily lean RT. If we want an offensive minded head coach, we better afford him the opportunity to only protect with 5 and send everyone else out in passing routes.

You can get an RT on day 2 or in FA.

The big difference will be our ability to trade down to fill multiple holes. From 4th to 9th to both Bills would have been awesome (and the smattering of later round picks to go with it).
