I can't imagine the amount of prep that will go into this contest.   The over/under on Turnovers in Vegas will probably hover around 74.  You can only give the opposing teams so many points with safeties so you have to enlist their defensive players to score.  The trick is to find high ego guys or players that just want to make a highlight reel to leave town with.  Minkah Fitzpatrick might have 5 scores if hangs in till then!  


We'll have a bigger issue on our own side and might have to sit Mixon and Ross that are apt to just score.   I can't imagine Dalton will still be living this late in the season, how many sacks/hits can you take? So given that Finley looked good we now see the wisdom in keeping Dolegada aka gadaloseforus.

While I certainly hope for some miracle that this team finds their balls, if this is the case I have one word to say about having the 1st overall pick:


TRADE!!!

This team needs a future draft with something like 3 first rounders and also possibly a haul of picks for AJ Green.  

Positions that need significant upgrades:  CB (bye, Dre), LB (bye, everyone), OT(bye, Bobby...but he still might pan out, no hope of that in the LB corps or for Dre at this point), and probably G (Price...Ced 2.0?).

If Patrick Mahommes was there at #1, it would make zero difference until those other positions listed above are addressed with REAL NFL TALENT.
