The Jets’ victory – their first of the year – means Trevor Lawrence’s fate has potentially shifted from New York to Jacksonville.
The race for the top pick in the next draft has already begun.
When we thought that that first shift of 2021 was reserved for the New York Jets, the picture seems to have changed.
This Sunday the Jets they gave the bell by winning Los Angeles Rams and obtain, after 13 consecutive trips, his first victory.
The defeat generates a change in the first positions (or rather the last ones).
The Jacksonville Jaguars would have at this time the first global turn, with the Jets being relegated to the second position. Both have a victory while the Cincinnati Bengals have, until this Sunday and without considering Monday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, two wins and a draw, and right now they are in third place to pick in the next draft.
Making a projection considering the last two games of each of these teams, these could be the results:
Week 16 will have the following crossovers for these teams; Jets face a tough rival, Cleveland Browns. Cleveland will arrive on that day with 10 wins in the bag, and trying to ensure their qualification for the playoffs, so a loss would be in the budget for those of New York.
The irregular Chicago Bears they will be opponents of Jacksonville in that Week 16. I would not miss a Jacksonville could take the victory, despite the fact that Bears they spin two consecutive wins. That would put them with two wins, the same ones they have Bengals through Week 15. I am assuming that Cincinnati will lose to Pittsburgh this Monday, of course.
Ohioans without Joe Burrow are a worse team than they already were with the rookie quarterback, and the Houston Texans, his next rivals, have improved and are a dangerous offense under the guidance of Deshaun Watson. The Bengals they will lose this match.
Week 17 brings us the following panorama; Jacksonville in front of Indianapolis Colts, You must be a very “winnable” match for those of Indy; the Jets, for their part, will play against a division rival, the New England Patriots.
Can you imagine the Pats of Bill Belichick falling before Jets of Adam Gase? Everything is possible in the NFL.
The Jets They could achieve their second victim against a team that has already lost the motivation to win, because they no longer fight for anything. New England he was eliminated from the postseason race this Sunday, officially.
The volatiles of New York they will add their second victory.
On the other hand, Bengals will fall, believe me, to some Baltimore Ravens who could get into that final week risking their chances of qualifying for the postseason. Outcome: Bengals They will add their defeat number 13.
The result of this exercise would leave the Jaguars with the first global turn, followed by the Jets, by the tiebreaker criterion of calendar strength. The Bengals, who chose first in the last draft, would stay with the third inning.
Much has been speculated if Trevor Lawrence, quarterback de Clemson, is projected to be the first pick for the next college draft.
To the Jaguars if they could use a quarterback like Lawrence, the same as the Jets. That is, of New York a Jacksonville It could have changed the fate of the young prospect from the college American.
Many of us wonder if Lawrence I would be willing to play for either of these two teams. I can tell you that no.
Few players have dared to defy the rules of the NFL in the collegiate teams. Eli Manning and John Elway they are one of the few who refused to play for the team that chose them. Maybe Lawrence I could repeat it, but that is the subject for a new opportunity.
On the other hand, it would be ironic for the team that made it to Week 15 with the worst record to end up without the first overall turn.
In the race to “win” the first team, there are three teams that undoubtedly “deserve” it.
