If we do land a pick that high? I would hope the Jets are moving on without Rodgers and hoping to land Sanders or Milroe at QB.

Would HAPPILY swap 1's with them while taking their 2 and future 1 and 2 for 2026.

20th?  If we are picking 20th we made the playoffs.  We would be the 2nd team in NFL history to start 0-4 and make the playoffs and the first team in over 30 years to do it.  I think the game this week will give us a much better idea where we are picking.  If we lose to the Bears we are heading towards a top 5 or top 10 pick.  If we beat the Bears things will get interesting

I look at this game as an absolute "must win" if our fans have any hopes of making it to the post-season. The five game stretch between Oct. 27 and December 1 is a killer (Packers, Eagles, Vikings, Lions and Texans). If they can get 2 wins during that stretch, they should be 5-7 going into the final 5 games which are all winnable. The season could replicate the 2022 one in which they went on a wild streak culminating in the great playoff comeback against the Chargers.

Is it crazy to be looking at this scenario one week after the Jaguars were the only win-less team in the NFL ? I don't believe so if the offensive line can maintain the improvements seen the last couple of weeks. Of course, the defense needs to get Campbell and Foye back and the entire secondary must show much improvement. The Bears are much improved and slight favorites so it won't be easy to get a "W".
