Yes top 5 is about as good as it’s gonna get for us. Now we need to make sure we don’t screw up by beating Atlanta…That’s the only winnable game left.

The Vikings are a pretty remarkable example of completely blowing it and they might luck out. They have a playoff roster, especially on offense but even on defense but their QB decision made the offense so bad they can't win. They had apparently decided last preseason that McCarthy was the starter, he got hurt so they went to with Darnold and he's been lights out since but they let him walk because they still thought JJ was better. He's been horrible, the replacement UDFA Brosner threw 4 picks in his debut including one of the worst panic throw pick sixes you'll ever see. If they lose out they have a shot at getting a high enough pick to get a QB, or they can get one via trade or FA and immediately become a playoff team.
But man you have to wonder how they were so wrong they chose JJ over Darnold, twice.
Does show how hard it can be though. We had both Kyler and JB in the same camp and preseason and came away convinced Kyler was the guy just like they did with JJ over Darnold.

JJ McCarthy has been bad but he has played in 6 games

So, you're saying he's played bad in 6 games?
Yes. Maybe if his team had been down three scores every time his stats would look better… hahaSo, you're saying he's played bad in 6 games?
Eh, I've seen worse.
While I agree, its fun to read and really nothing more.

Sadly Miami is playing well
The Athletic's Dane Brugler posted a mock draft today, and in contrast to the one Nick Baumgartner posted a week ago, this time there were two trades for QBs and the Cardinals, picking 8th, didn't take one. (Baumgartner used The Athletic's NFL Simulator to project draft order, while it appears that Brugler used the current standings. Well almost - he has the Jets and Commanders swapped. Regardless, the Athletic's NFL Simulator also has the Cardinals projected to pick 8th.)

You still got murder on your mind. Just now it's murder our team instead of our team murdering them.

Some quasi good news.
NYG still has to play Wash and LV.
Washington will be tough because they play only division games left. Two of those vs Philly. Their best hope to win a game is vs NYG.
LV has a tough schedule. NYG is the only seemingly winnable game.
TN still has to play NO. The rest is ugly.
Cle plays Chicago, Pitt an Cincy. Maybe they play Pitt tough. I don't think they are winning vs Buffalo.
NO has an interesting schedule unless you bet their win total under. They play Car, Atl, Ten, and NYJ.
NYJ plays NE, Buf, NO, and the Jags. 3 out of 4 on the road. Have to hope they beat NO.
Basically, if you are rooting for a high pick...
You need AZ to lose out.
Week 15, you need WAS to beat NYG to put WAS at 4-13.
Week 16, you need NYJ to beat NO to put NYJ at 4-13.
Week 16, you need LV to beat NYG to put LBV at 3-14 and ensure NYG have the 1 pick.
Week 17, you need CLE to beat PIT to put CLE at 4-13.
Week 17, you need TEN to beat NO to put TEN at 4-13. (and hope their oppo win% stays higher than AZ.
Week 17, you need NO to beat ATL to put NO at 4-13.
Basically this would put AZ at 3, behind LV but with a team that is not likely to take a QB at 1 and might trade down. The other option is to have WAS lose out and LV beat NYG which would put WAS at 1 and they might be more inclined to slightly trade down to ensure an EDGE rusher.

Maybe our best hope is to have the following teams finish in front of us: NY Giants (have Jaxson Dart), Tennessee Titans (have Cam Ward), Washington (have Jayden Daniels) and maybe Cleveland (they have Sanders, Gabriel, and Watson returning). These teams recently spent draft capital on QBs and may consider trading down to #5-6 wherever the Cards end up. They could get additional capital and still get the BPA in their eyes. My biggest concern would be Cleveland - do they feel good about their 3?

#5 would more than likely get us one of the top 3 QBs but I want the "best". Even sitting on 5, I'd consider trading up.
