Quote:Jags will win 2 more games and drop behind Rams and 49ers to select 8th. I have a hunch they beat a Luck-less Colts and the Falcons. It is also possible they beat the Saints since they gave it all yesterday and may be done for the year. This would probably drop them to about 12th. My question, is it worth beating the Saints on the road and miss out on one of the top pass rushers (like Ogbah) in the draft? I know, as true fans we should never pull against the Jaguars, but how great would it make us feel to beat a team that has quit on it's season? Although I couldn't ever pull for the other team, it would probably be in the Jaguars best long term interests to lose that game.

 

The Saints showed everyone yesterday firing their DC does not help the defense LOL. However because of Drew Brees. I see a loss coming in New Orleans. We probably will lose to the Falcons too because of their player who wears #11. The Texans might be beatable, but I won't count on it. Next week is the only one I can chalk up as a win right now. Good news: We might play against Clipboard Jesus again.

 

It would be insane to think New Orleans gave up on the season. If they did, yesterday's game would have been a blowout, not a shootout. We are not talking about the Browns, who obviously did give up.

 

Believe me, I totally understand this thing about wanting higher draft picks. However I also know every year players drop much farther than expected (Teddy Bridgewater) and Dave Caldwell is not afraid of trading up (Allen Robinson). Then there are players who greatly exceed expectations, making people wonder why they were not drafted higher (Robinson again). So it is not terrible to miss out on a top 10 pick by beating a team like the Saints. So I don't worry about it as much as other fans do, even though like them I get excited over the opportunity to pick an elite player.
