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 first draft pick has already begun.
When we thought this first round of 2021 was reserved for the New York Jets, The picture seems to have changed.
This Sunday the Jets they rang the bell when they won a Los Angeles Rams and get, after 13 consecutive stumbles, his first victory.
Defeat generates a change in the first positions (or rather the last).
the Jacksonville Jaguars they would have at this time the first global turn, with the Jets being relegated to second place. They both have a win while the Cincinnati Bengals have, until this Sunday and without considering Monday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Two wins and a draw, and currently occupy third place to choose from 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 crossings for these teams; Jets they face a tough rival, the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland will come to this day with 10 wins in the stock market, and trying to secure his qualification to the playoffs, so a defeat would be in the budget for the New York.
the irregular ones Chicago Bears will be Jacksonville opponents this Week 16. I wouldn’t be surprised 1 Jacksonville could take the triumph, though the Bones spin two consecutive triumphs. That them with two victories, the same ones they have Bengals until Week 15. I’m taking it for granted that Cincinnati will lose in front Pittsburgh this Monday, of course.
Those of Ohio without Joe Burrow they are a worse team than they already were with the rookie quarterback, and the Houston jeans, His next rivals, have improved and are a dangerous offensive in the hands of Deshaun Watson. the Bengals they will lose this encounter.
Week 17 awaits us in the following panorama; Jacksonville in front of the Indianapolis Colts, You have to be a very “win – win” match for the Indy; the Jets, Meanwhile, will play against a division rival, the New England Patriots.
You imagine the Pats of Bill Belichick falling before the Jets of Adam Gase? Everything is possible in the NFL.
the Jets they could get their second victim against a team that already lost the motivation to win, because they no longer fight for anything. New England he was officially eliminated from the race for the postseason this Sunday.
The volatiles of New York they will add their second victory.
On the other hand, the Bengals they will fall, believe me, in front of some Baltimore Ravens who could reach this final week by gambling their chances of qualifying in the postseason. result: Bengals they will add their 13th defeat.
The result of this exercise would leave the Jaguars with the first global round, followed by the Jets, By the calendar strength tie-breaking criterion. the Bengals, Those who chose first in the last draft, would stay with the third round.
Much has been speculated yes Trevor Lawrence, quarterback of Clemson, Is projected to be the first selection of the next college recruitment.
to the Jaguars if a quarterback like them would suit them Lawrence, Same as als Jets. That is, of New York a Jacksonville it could have changed the fate of the young college American prospect.
Many of us wonder if Lawrence he would be willing to play for either of those two teams. I can tell you no.
Few players have dared to challenge the rules of the NFL in the collegiate selections. Eli Manning i John Elway they are one of the few who refused to play with the team that chose them. may be Lawrence I might repeat it, but this is subject to a new opportunity.
On the other hand, it would be ironic for the team that came through Week 15 with the worst record to finish without the first overall round.
In the race to “win” the first selection, there are three teams that definitely “deserve” it.
