Have you considered posting this AFTER the games are over, instead of inserting records with assumptions?

Giants win would be huge.
Bears could have the chance to do what the Titans did with the #1 pick after they already had Mariota

I believe I had picked 6 wins. Might have to drop to 5 after losing to the 49ers.

Nope. Sorry. The curse predates Charles Martin. 1969: the Bears finish 1-13. Unfortunately, so do the Steelers. The Bears only win, of course, comes against the Steelers, thus ensuring a coin flip for the #1 pick. Ed McCaskey calls heads; it's tails. Steelers get Terry Bradshaw with the #1 pick; the Bears end up with three stiffs from the Packers for the #2 pick. That, Sir, is what a real curse looks like.
Maybe you can call it the Rufus Mayes Curse...

Every site I go on has the Colts and Broncos in front of the Bears.

Guess that comes down to strength of schedule? If I remember, the Colts had the easiest schedule in the whole league at the start of the season and Bears has been tough so thats probably right.

I could see the Giants winning one of their 3 home divisional games and maybe beat the Cardinals who are garbage.
Likewise the 49ers could win one or two more if Jimmy G progresses well.
Colts and Broncos have to play each other so hoping for a Colts win there as they would likely have the easier SoS and so pick ahead of us. I could actually see the Broncos losing out from here. I bet their locker room is seething right now.
Bucs and Texans are the only teams in range now as I can't see anyway Bears win two more games. Would be surprised if those two teams lost out.
Reckon it ends up something like...
1 Browns (0-16)
2 49ers (3-13)
3 Giants (3-13)
4 Broncos (3-13)
5 Colts (4-12)
6 Bears (4-12)
Not sure if 6 is high enough for a viable trade down scenario.

Hard to believe we are at pick number six with three fucking wins at this point in the season.

Bears have four games left... I assume we're going to fuck it up and win one of those, so we'll probably be picking in the 4-8 range.

It could happen. There's a lot of bad teams consistently losing games.

The Bears always get fucked. Every tie breaker goes against us and every fallen star gets picked one ahead of us.

Bears lose all tiebreakers for draft picks because they have had the hardest strength of schedule.

I haven't paid much attention to the draft, but I do know a few names and looked at some mock drafts.
My question is if we get top 3 pick can we pass up Saquan Barkley or trade down. RB isnt a huge need, but he head and shoulders the best player in the draft.

LOL and we're still at 6. Feels like we should already be #2.

People would lose their minds if Pace takes a RB with a top 5 pick. It sucks that we have to put up with such a shitty season and might still miss out on a top 5 talent but if someone offers up a big haul for our pick it would be hard to say no. Wonder if there's any chance Chubb is still there when we pick.

I only support a trade down if the pay off is heavily in our favor otherwise inject some talent on this team. The higher the better so even if Pace grabs someone not as good as his trade status at least he will still be good. Hopefully... and not fragile.
