Taylor Kyles from CLNS Media and Sophie Weller from A to Z Sports are discussing the New England Patriots' draft pick positioning following their Week 17 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The focus of their conversation is on how the Patriots' loss, coupled with the outcome of other games, particularly the Arizona Cardinals' win over the Philadelphia Eagles, has affected the Patriots' position in the upcoming draft. They note that the Patriots' draft pick has moved up, now standing at a higher ranking due to these results.

00:00 Now for the moment everyone's been waiting for what the hell is going on with the draft seating so
00:05 Draft seating draft order. Alright, so I'm gonna pull up tank a thon real quick
00:10 I think the website might have crashed for a minute because I couldn't pull it up for a while
00:14 I think everyone was just racing to the website to see what was going on
00:17 So we're gonna throw this up on the screen right now
00:19 All right, so the Patriots entered today with the fourth pick
00:24 They had the tiebreaker with the commanders and the Cardinals. I believe we're at the number two spot
00:29 But with the Eagles and Giants both loot the Giants. I believe they won today. Let me double-check. I think let me see
00:36 Giants
00:38 Super impression though. They lost today. So with the Giants loss and then the my gosh, I'm sorry
00:44 So you've done the Giants loss and the Eagles loss. Um, it actually moved the commanders up with strength of schedule
00:52 So they actually jumped over the Patriots but the Cardinals with their win got bumped down to the fourth pick
00:57 So the Patriots are currently have the third pick and going through the scenarios
01:01 So the games to look out for in the four o'clock window that could potentially affect the seedings
01:06 The Seahawks beating the Steelers the Broncos beating the Chargers and the Bengals beating the Chiefs would be
01:13 Advantageous for the Patriots once again, so just give me your thoughts on the Patriots their draft positioning
01:19 Whether you think it's possible that they could actually lose to the Jets considering everything that's going on
01:25 I do believe that they should be locked into a top-five pick correct me if I'm wrong
01:28 But again, do you think that hey if Bailey's happy puts on just a lights-out performance and the Jets defense is trying their best
01:36 But he just overwhelms them. Are we still locked into a quarterback or would you possibly consider something else just for arguments sake?
01:43 So first off before I answer your question, I found something that I think will help clear up the strength of schedule
01:49 Thank you, because I'm so confused
01:52 Actually tanked it's on. What was it?
01:54 Nine minutes ago posted this to the strength of schedule at the moment the commanders because I'm on the website
02:01 I think it both it has them at point five one five
02:04 We have five decimal spaces on this on their tweets. So the commanders are at point five one four eight one
02:13 Okay, the Patriots are at point five one four nine three
02:21 Sheesh, oh my god, that is how close it is. And that is why the commanders hold that slight edge right now
02:27 over the Patriots
02:30 Just to just to help out with that a little bit because I was just as confused
02:34 But I saw that just pop up and I was like gotta share
02:36 But no in terms of what they have to do, even if they pull out a win over the Jets
02:42 It's a quarterback
02:44 You need to find a guy the franchise. It's you know, and I and I think the way to go is to
02:51 Even if it regardless of it, you know with bill or not, that's gonna be a huge factor
02:55 But even if it's bill back, I think at this point he can't even deny
03:00 This team needs a quarterback
03:03 Vandal is the exclusive wagering partner of the CLNS media network right now new customers get

03:16 fan duel official partner of the NFL
03:20 Yeah
03:22 And more than just a quarterback
03:24 I think it's one of those superhuman quarterbacks like a
03:27 Caleb like a Drake like a Jaden Daniels because I really do think zappy has shown you some really good stuff and that's considering
03:33 he has had just a
03:35 Very poor supportive gas and we're putting it lightly like we mentioned no hunter Henry
03:39 No, juju didn't have to Vonte Parker in the second half because he left with a rib injury decimated offensive line
03:45 No, remind Ray Stevenson and he was still fighting and what's really good in that game
03:50 So I want to give zappy his flowers. I think he deserves them
03:53 But at the same time I think you're in a better position if you know
03:56 Even if zappy turns out to be better than you ever could have hoped for that way
04:00 You have insurance where you have a quarterback competition where you have Bailey's happy the incumbent who had a strong finish to this season
04:06 And then you got the young guy who's on a rookie deal
04:08 If zappy doesn't end up being the guy you at least have that insurance and you can say
04:12 All right, we at least know that zappy is an above-average or potentially very high quality backup for us
04:18 Who's a young guy who's gonna be cheap whatever they do with Mac Jones who knows honestly?
04:23 Maybe they try to keep him raise the stock through training camp and then trade him out from preseason
04:27 We have no idea
04:28 But I do agree with you
04:30 I think they need to get that quarterback as worst-case scenario having two really good startable quarterbacks
04:35 It's not the worst thing in the world in the NFL, especially considering all the attrition that we've seen this season
04:41 Sophie thank you so much for joining us again. You are the best
