    Baltimore beat us before so they have the better team than us, so if they lose and we win logically we should be picking before them in any scenario.

    Has nothing to do with Balt beating the Jets.....head to head isn't in the equation.

    It doesn't matter that they beat us. It is based on win percentage followed by opponent's strength of schedule. They're victory over us is a non-factor in draft position.

    Not if Marty Ball joins Atlanta, because if that happens......

    A) Cam Cameron who's job seems as good as gone with Parcells in town, will jump with his buddy to become the Offensive Coordinator in Atlanta

    B) With Marty and Cam in Atlanta, they will absolutely lure and attract FA to be Michael ''The Burner' Turner from SD, and he would be the Franchise RB in Atlanta. So the RB need goes down the drain.

    Which leaves them to need a Franchise QB.

    3rd. But Next week if we win, we can fall as far as 7th.

    Baker....logic has nothing to do with it.....it's the way the NFL determines the draft order. The NFL feels if you have the same record as another, the team who played weaker opponents gets the tiebreaker. If it's exactly the same PCT, they flip a coin, as Cleve/TB did last year.

    Are you sure we would be 3rd? And I thought ATL has been ahead of us this WHOLE time...

    So it would be...

    Miami
    STL
    NYJ
    ATL?

    If thats the case... We have a STRONG chance at picking #2 because the Rams have a good chance at beating the Cards next week

    Cards losing would have assured no worse than 6th with a win over KC.

    I wonder what's the over under of how many times we're going to see the Herm clip of 'Hello...you play to win the game' this week. Funny thing is that was his finest moment as a Jet coach.

    I have to admit I'm not too motivated to see the Jets win OR lose next week, a win worsens the draft position but a loss and who cares anyway since the draft doesn't seem to be very top-heavy.

    The draft may not be Top-Heavy... But D.McFadden is ONE HELL OF A PLAYER... If we draft McFadden... The Draft was a success.

    Yeah your right WW85 on how it works, I just think head to head should have a say in how it works because it wouldent make sense to have a team(BAL) who beat up on another team(NYJ) have A better pick.

    Sort of like how the Playoffs seedings are determined in a way.

    Would be ironic if Herm costs us getting a better pick in the draft yet again.
