Besides trying to sign Kirk Cousins to a Russell Wilson-like 1yr/$1m if the Falcons cut him, their only chance at QB with Watson's massive contract weighing them down is to get a young talented one on a rookie contract.
If they win today they are 4-12 and there's 9 teams at 4-12 or worse.
If they lose today they are 3-11 and there's only 4 teams at 3-11 and none who are worse.
The Browns lost to the Giants this year, who won today. So I think the Browns with a loss would have at least the 3rd overall pick in the draft. I don't know how their tiebreakers with the Titans and Pats would line up who are the other two top-3 picks.
The difference between the 7th-9th pick and the 1st-3rd pick is pretty large.
The Browns are obviously tanking.
The D is still good (Garrett, Ward).
They have the #3 pick atm. If they lose the last game, they will be assured of 1 of the top 2 pick, unless the Pats trade down (they won't take a QB).
