Bears inch closer to top pick; top ten picks set for week … Carolina dropped to 1-9 Sunday afternoon with a loss to Dallas. And that moved Chicago, which owns the Panthers’ first round pick this year, closer to securing the #1 pick overall this coming April. In fact, the Panthers/Bears have what amounts to a two-game ‘lead’ for the worst record as Carolina has a considerably weaker SOS than both Arizona (2-9) and New England (2-8), the NFL’s remaining 2-win teams which will have the 2nd and 3rd picks respectively, at least for the week. Meanwhile, Chicago gave division-leading Detroit all it could handle yesterday, but still came up short and will move up a spot to the #4 pick, while the Giants rode 6 turnovers to a win over Washington which drops the NFL NYers from the #2 spot down to #5. And, again at least for this week, Tennessee at #6, Washington, at #7 Atlanta at #8, Green Bay at #9, and Tampa Bay at #10 round out the top ten picks, followed by the NY Jets, and the LA Rams. As usual, he full, updated weekly selection order will be posted after tonight’s potentially epic Monday night game between conference leaders Philadelphia and Kansas City.
