NOPE!! THEY WOULD FLIP A COIN!!!! Call Tails Herm, call Tails. --LoO [/ QUOTE ] This brings to mind the story of the 1970 draft. The Bears and Steelers both finished the 1969 season with 1-13 records, and it was determined that they would flip a coin to determine who would draft first. The Bears called heads. Coin came up tails. The Steelers used the resulting #1 pick to draft Terry Bradshaw, who would go on to lead them to 4 Super Bowl victories, and have a hall of fame career. The Bears then traded the #2 pick to the Green Bay Packers for a bunch of washed up veterans who would lead them to a decade of suckiness. |

It's not like that draft was filled with studs.

Re: Dumb NFL Draft Order Selection rules...
I thought the Packers have the inside line on Reggie Bush assuming they lose and Houston beats SF?

Most likely the #1 pick will be Houston or New Orleans depending on if Houston wins. New Orleans is a virtual lock to have to the lowest strength of schedule out of the potential 3-13 teams. Slow day at work, here are the scenarios for each team to end up with the top pick: New Orleans:Lose and Hou win and none of the scenarios below happen Houston: 1.Lose or 2.NYG, ARI, NYJ, DET, TB, GB, HOU and STL win and BAL, KC or JAX win or 3.NO wins, and scenarios below don't happen NY Jets: 1.Lose 2 remaining games, NO & HOU win next week and IND, PIT, SEA & STL must win more games next week than OAK, BAL, KC & JAX. or 2.NYG, CLE, BUF, CIN, DET, TB, GB, HOU, IND, TEN & STL win next week Green Bay:OAK, IND, BUF, PIT, NO, SEA, HOU, WAS & STL all must win next week and at least 2 of BAL, KC & JAX need to win San Fran:Can not end up with #1 pick |

Re: Dumb NFL Draft Order Selection rules...
Which team is the worst? Texans or 49ers? I would still have to say the 49ers. What a waste of a pick Alex Smith was.

[/ QUOTE ] Well, yeah, I agree with the point that the coin flip thing is stupid but you seem to have some pent-up tragic attitude over a move done by your favorite football team that wasn't exactly horrible. |

[/ QUOTE ] It's hard to think anyone that Chicago would've taken would have actually had a big impact on the team. Two hall of famers were taken in the draft. The aforementioned, unavialabel Bradshaw, and Mel Blount who went 53rd overall. |

My post was merely to tell about how the Bears lost out on a Hall of Fame quarterback in the '70 draft based on a coin flip...pretty interesting for a team that hasn't had a quarterback since Sid Luckman. The quality of others that came out of that draft are irrelevant. 2. Are we really determining the strength of a draft class based on how many Hall of Famers it produces? |
