Come April when our favorite players get picked before 18 these wins won’t be as meaningful.
Now if they make the playoffs then all bets are off.
I think everyone understands that no matter how this season ends, much work is needed in the off-season. Going 4-8 in the first 12 games when you should have gone 8-4--or better--tends to have that effect. If their attitudes are right, they'll draft well no matter what their position. They're going to need more than just the draft to fix the o-line and defense. They're going to need a FA haul like before 2021 season.
