dude im really sorry but if multiple trans women tell you its transmisogynistic, please just let it go. it originates from the word "sissy" and "transv*stite" which are both targeted towards trans women, not trans men. i understand if you thought it was okay or whatever but if multiple trans women tell you this please at least take it in your heart and try to ask yourself why youre so adamant on shutting them off
The thing is none of you have been trans women so like maybe relax.

The Jaguars’ ‘Hang In There’ post is even sadder than their record
Photo by Sam Greenwood/Getty Images
The Jaguars encouraged their fans to stay positive, and accidentally started a Twitter dunk contest.
Jacksonville Jaguars fans are intimately familiar with pain. The franchise has just one winning season in the last 13 years. Last season started off in promising fashion as the Jags beat the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1, but then they proceeded to lose 15 straight games. It was the worst season in franchise history, and only the 11th 1-15 season the league has ever seen.
Hope arrived for the Jags this season in the form of No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence, the Clemson product who was considered one of the best quarterback prospects in recent memory. Jacksonville made a bold hire at head coach with Urban Meyer to start the Lawrence era. The Jags weren’t expecting some miracle turnaround right away after coming off a one-win season, but for the first time in years, the vibes around the team felt positive.
That feeling only lasted for two weeks.
The Jaguars fell to 0-2 on Sunday by losing to the Denver Broncos, 23-13. This loss came on the heels of Jacksonville dropping their opener to the Houston Texans — a team widely expected to be one of the worst in the league — in a game they were actually favored to win on the road.
While the loss to Denver wasn’t quite as disappointing as the opener, it was still a frustrating performance from the Jags. The team managed only 189 yards of total offense, their fewest since 2018. Lawrence threw two interceptions, averaged a paltry 3.6 yards per attempt, and ended the game with a 37.2 QB Rating. The Jags again failed to get running back James Robinson going after his breakout rookie season last year. As our Jaguars community Big Cat Country wrote, this looks like a team without an identity.
After the loss, Meyer tried to encourage the fanbase to stay positive. It might be a nice sentiment, but it wasn’t one the fans wanted to hear after falling to 0-2. The Jags’ official Twitter account then made a graphic for Meyer’s comments, and it ended up starting a dunk contest on social media.
Here’s the Jaguars’ post.

you guys are the jaguars. you're not going to get better. you also don't need to put out a whole ass statement about it, everyone knows what you are by now lol https://t.co/RkYi2YnVvd

It’s week two of a rebuild … and they have a letter from the head coach to the fans. There’s 15 weeks left in the season. https://t.co/VhQKrTvlyp

Wow. Thought Urban Meyer was going to give up on the Jaguars? Think again after this statement. What a message. pic.twitter.com/7geP0yAvwK
— Rodger Sherman (@rodger) September 20, 2021
This really does feel like the type of statement a team issues at the end of a bad season. That it’s coming only two weeks into the year should be alarming. Jaguars fans are among the most loyal in the NFL, but it’s already apparent they are going to be in for another long year.
A few days before falling to 0-2, Meyer had to issue a statement shooting down rumors that he could be a target for the USC job. Clearly, everything is going great in Jags land. Hey, at least Lawrence threw a nice TD pass:
Trevor Lawrence is going to be a problem.#DENvsJAX on CBS pic.twitter.com/MMfnTA6YJZ

Even if Meyer’s message fell on deaf ears, Jags fans know things HAVE to get better eventually, only because they can’t get any worse.

Bryan Bedder/Getty Images for The New York Times

101 were promoted in investment banking, up from 97 in 2015.
52 were promoted in technology, up from 38 in 2015.

Here's the full statement:
The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE: GS) today announced that it has selected a new class of Managing Directors, effective from January 1, 2018, the start of the firm's next fiscal year.

Cadence-less Development Section
Much of western classical music is built on cadences. In a sonata by Mozart, for example, predictable, consistent cadences mark the phrases that make up the two sonata themes. Once you exit the exposition and dive into the development section, clear cadences are a little harder to find. Music just keeps moving around, modulating, and developing.
So, what’s been going on with me for the past few months?
May: Following my conducting clinics with Dr. Hammer and MJ Wamhoff, I had the honor of conducting Pacific’s Symphonic Wind Ensemble during the University’s Commencement festivities. I ended up conducting movements II and IV of Ticheli’s Simple Gifts. Right after commencement, I traveled to Cherry Valley, New York to begin my internship at the Glimmerglass Festival.
Mid-May through July: My time working at the Glimmerglass Festival as a Young Artist Program Residence Manager Intern was a little rough. I was having a hard time socially with folks who were older than me, and my job was lackluster and a little degrading to say the least. However, I did learn a lot about musicianship and the professional world of music. I had the opportunity to observe exemplary musicians at work. Guest artists Donald Palumbo (Chorusmaster of the New York Metropolitan Opera), Stephen Schwartz (Tony Award-winning composer), and Kevin Stites (veteran musical director) offered amazing insight.
August: I ended up leaving the job early; at times you must recognize when it’s not worth staying in a position. I traveled to Boston with my parents to do some sightseeing, and I also got to meet up with an old friend of mine who was working at Tufts University over the summer. We also visited the Verne Q. Powell flute factory where my parents were explained (in a two-hour tour) the reason the flute they bought me costs so much. Afterwards we drove back up to New Jersey, where my mom had arranged to reunite with some old high-school friend. Then up to the Big Apple. I caught Prince of Broadway (in previews), Miss Saigon, The Play that Goes Wrong, and Georama, in addition to Groundhog Day which I caught during my internship at Glimmerglass.
Returning to California early meant I had time to breathe, make various appointments, and slowly move into my new apartment at school. I had the pleasure of having coffee with my favorite professor, Dr. Rose, who just left his decades-long tenure at Pacific for a position at Stanford University. There are some people who are just too pure for this world. Dr. Rose is one of them.
Late-August through October: Okay. Let’s quickly talk about “Junior Block.” J Block is part of the music education program at Pacific. It’s where you talk about educational psychology, music, and the profession of music education. It’s the time when you really begin to observe teachers in the field and start to teach. I am in J Block.
In addition to the crazy workload in the class, I have several hours of fieldwork each week. Two-hours a week are spent teaching my very own musical classes to my very own students. I have second graders at Spanos Elementary School, and sixth graders at McCandless STEM Charter School, both in Stockton.
All on top of my other classes. But it’s such an enriching experience for me and the students. Seeing how music can affect children is phenomenal. Enough J Block. Moving on.
I also made the choice to schedule a solo flute recital next semester. I will be performing Maria Grenfell’s delightful unaccompanied solo Four Pooh Stories (1992, New Zealand), Karlheinz Essl’s electro-acoustic piece Sequitur I (2008, Austria), and Leonard Bernstein’s jarring and haunting nocturne Ḥalil (1981, United States) for flute, piano, and percussion. As you may have noticed, all the works were written within the last 40 years, and come from all over the globe.
In September, I had the pleasure of doing some work for Dr. Hammer’s professional ensemble, the New Hammer Concert Band. I sat in for all their rehearsals and took notes on rehearsal techniques, and I designed a new logo and concert poster. During the weekend of the performance, and Dr. Hammer was kind enough to offer to let me conduct the ensemble in rehearsal for a bit- what an experience! Conducting an ensemble of such a caliber is an intense musical experience. At the end of that same rehearsal, Dr. Hammer assigned me to help director Clubhouse Studios, the company he had contracted to video record the performance. From 5pm to 2am, and following morning (day of the concert), I marked up about 300 pages of score in preparation for the concert, ran a few test-runs to direct the camera shots, and hey, ho! away we go! we recorded the concert.
In September, I was also offered the job of Choral Assistant with the Stockton Youth Chorale program under the direction of Joan Calonico. I run warm-ups and sight-singing with children from third to eighth grade. This opportunity has forced me to work on my choral pedagogy techniques, as well as my classroom management skills.
I turned 21 in the first week of October. Some people like to celebrate their birthday by playing laser tag, going to the beach, or getting hammered. I chose to spend 9 to 5 at a professional development workshop with Little Kids Rock, an organization committed to helping teachers bring Modern Band to music education. It was an inspiring day and a day where preconceptions were turned on its head.
I’m sure I’m missing somethings here and there, but never mind those. What’s it look like moving forward?
November: Working with the pit orchestra for TAP’s production of Legally Blonde; conducting Scott Nelson’s senior project BrokenTimePiece. Then I’ll be watching Massenet’s Manon and John Adam’s premiere production of Girls of the Golden West at the San Francisco Opera.
December: Lots of various performances. Then the annual Palo Alto Caroling Corps!
I’ll try to update a little more often, but God only knows what my schedule turns into.

JOUR 4250 Blog Post 10
Earlier today (November 27), I was working on a group project for class, and the specific part of my assignment was to watch a video from an online news source and do a short write-up on what I saw in the video. I watched a daily show from November 6 by Democracy Now!, which is a non-profit news organization. Their show consisted of some voiceover stories on international news in countries like Mexico, Brazil, Israel, and China. They also talked about two other stories in detail, which were about nationwide gubernatorial elections, and about Rodney Reed. I mainly want to focus on the story of Reed since that was the story that they talked about the most during the hour-long show.
To provide some background information, in 1996, in Bastrop County, Texas, Rodney Reed was accused of raping and killing 19-year-old Stacey Stites. Reed is African-American, and Stites was White. An all-White jury sentenced him to death. His scheduled execution date was back on the 20th of this month, but he was granted an indefinite stay of execution, meaning his execution was stopped. The reason why the state of Texas granted him this stay of execution is because White former police officer Jimmy Fennell was engaged to Stites at the time, and Reed has been adamant in saying that he did not rape nor kill Stites. He, his family, and his supporters believe that Fennell killed her.
Democracy Now! interviewed Reed’s brother, Roderick, his sister-in-law, Uwana Akpan, and Bryce Benjet, a senior attorney from the Innocence Project. The project helps to free innocent people from prison. They were all talking about why they think Fennell killed Stites. Roderick says that Rodney was at his cousin’s place when she was killed. Benjet said that there are a lot of tendencies that Fennell has that potentially point to possibility of him being her killer. Both Roderick and Akpan are pushing for the criminal justice system to re-test DNA evidence to see if this case really is a cover-up to protect a former police officer from being convicted.
This is not the only case that involves a former police officer versus a black person in the criminal justice system. Amber Guyger was a former Dallas police officer who shot and killed African-American Botham Jean in his own apartment. She claims that she thought she was in her own apartment. The jury convicted her guilty of murder, and they sentenced her to 10 years in prison. This was a breakthrough victory for the Black community because police officers are usually not convicted when they are up against a Black person, especially if the officer is White, like Guyger. The Rodney Reed case will play a part in police accountability with the Black community just as much as the Guyger-Jean case did. If they find sufficient evidence that shows that Fennell killed Stites and not Reed, will he be convicted of murder, too?

Thursday round-up
Yesterday the court heard argument in Comcast v. National Association of African American-Owned Media, in which justices considered whether, in a claim under a federal statute that prohibits race discrimination in contracting, a plaintiff is required to show that the defendant’s action would not have been taken but for the alleged discrimination. Amy Howe has this blog’s argument analysis, which first appeared at Howe on the Court. For The New York Times, Adam Liptak reports that “[a] cautious Supreme Court … seemed to be looking for a narrow way to rule in a racial discrimination case against Comcast, the nation’s largest cable company, by a black entrepreneur who contends his race played a role in the company’s decision not to carry programming from his network.” Richard Wolf reports for USA Today that the court “appeared likely … to let [the] claim … go forward, even though it might be difficult to prove,” [b]ut both liberal and conservative justices indicated that while there may be enough evidence of racial bias for now, [the plaintiffs] eventually would have to prove that race was the deciding factor for Comcast.”
At The National Immigration Law Center blog, Trudy Rebert observes that in Department of Homeland Security v. Regents of the University of California, a high-profile challenge to the Trump administration’s decision to terminate the DACA program that was argued on Tuesday, the court is “being asked to decide what government accountability means in our democracy.” At Reason’s Volokh Conspiracy blog, Josh Blackman worries that the court may “rule that the rescission memorandum is not subject to judicial review,” which would “leave open the legality of the policy for the foreseeable future”; he cautions that “[a] punt here would effectively cement DACA as a policy, without ever deciding its lawfulness.”
At Quartz, Ephrat Livni looks at Tuesday’s argument in Hernandez v. Mesa, a case arising from a Mexican family’s efforts to hold a U.S. Border Patrol agent liable for the shooting death of their son, who was on the Mexican side of the border, suggesting that “it may well turn out that the court and the executive branch—which found [the agent] didn’t use excessive force—do speak with one voice.” Steven Mazie writes at The Economist that “[t]he ruling seems destined to come out 5-4 and hinge on Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who was alternatively receptive to and critical of both sides.” At Slate (via How Appealing), Mark Joseph Stern argues that a ruling against the family would invite Customs and Border Patrol to “ignore the Constitution altogether.”
At The Marshall Project, Maurice Chammah writes that “[t]he case of Rodney Reed, who is scheduled to be executed in Texas on Nov. 20, is unique not only because of the celebrities promoting his claims of innocence,” but “also because of the sheer volume of evidence implicating someone else for the crime for which Reed was sentenced to die, the 1996 murder of Stacey Stites, in Bastrop, Texas.” Jordan Smith takes a close look at the case at The Intercept.
Briefly:
For this blog, Katie Bart reports that last night the court allowed the execution of Ray Jefferson Cromartie, who was sentenced to death for the 1994 murder of Richard Slysz, to go forward; Georgia executed Cromartie by lethal injection at 10:59 p.m.
Greg Stohr reports at Bloomberg that “Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg missed Wednesday’s … argument session, staying home with what a court spokeswoman said was a stomach virus.”
Ronald Mann analyzes yesterday’s argument in Ritzen Group Inc. v. Jackson Masonry, LLC, in which the court will decide whether an order denying a creditor’s motion to lift an automatic stay of efforts by creditors to collect debts from the debtor is a final order that the creditor can appeal, for this blog.
At Reuters’ On the Case blog (via How Appealing), Alison Frankel observes that the court’s denial Tuesday of a cert petition by firearms manufacturer Remington in a case brought by relatives of the victims of the Sandy Hook shootings “left open a pathway for more litigation against an industry that has been almost entirely shielded for 15 years.”
We rely on our readers to send us links for our round-up. If you have or know of a recent (published in the last two or three days) article, post, podcast or op-ed relating to the Supreme Court that you’d like us to consider for inclusion in the round-up, please send it to roundup [at] scotusblog.com. Thank you!

Is Christian McCaffrey worth the richest RB salary in NFL history?
Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images
McCaffrey will get an average of $16 million per year. Is any running back worth that much?
Christian McCaffrey was due for a contract extension after exceeding expectations through three years in the NFL. The Panthers delivered — and made him the league’s most expensive running back in the process.
Carolina handed its star runner/receiver a four-year contract extension worth $64 million. McCaffrey’s $16 million annual average salary eclipsed the $15 million Ezekiel Elliott earned through the six-year contract he signed with the Cowboys last September. That’s a lot of money for a rebuilding team to commit to one non-quarterback or non-pass rusher, but it could be a bargain if McCaffrey can keep up his All-Pro level of play over the course of his new deal.
The Panthers are making a $64 million bet on a young running back less than a month after the Rams swallowed a massive chunk of dead cap space to release once-treasured weapon Todd Gurley. Will Carolina come to regret this move? Or was locking in to a McCaffrey-Teddy Bridgewater tandem in the backfield the right play for a team in need of direction after a turbulent year?
Let’s talk it out.
Is Christian McCaffrey the NFL’s most valuable running back?
Christian D’Andrea: McCaffrey just led the league in yards from scrimmage and total touchdowns despite playing for a team that started Kyle Allen and Will Grier for multiple games. Opponents knew what was coming and he still dropped a 1,000/1,000 rushing/receiving yard season on them — something only two other men in NFL history (Roger Craig and Marshall Faulk) have ever done before. He won’t turn 24 years old until the summer.
I’m not sure I like paying any running back more than $12 million annually, but if you’re going to break the bank, McCaffrey’s about as safe a bet as you can find in 2020.
Adam Stites: I agree, it’s hard to make the argument for anyone else. There are more traditional backs like Elliott, Derrick Henry, Saquon Barkley, and Dalvin Cook who would be more reliable running straight up the gut. Then there are multi-faceted players like Austin Ekeler and Alvin Kamara who aren’t far off from McCaffrey’s abilities as a receiver. But nobody combines every skill as well as McCaffrey.
There’s no doubt McCaffrey outplayed the four-year, $17.2 million contract he signed as a rookie. That was set to expire after the 2020 season, although Carolina could’ve picked up a fifth-year option to extend his deal until 2021. But $16 million per year? That’s one hell of a leap.
Will the Panthers regret this expensive extension?
D’Andrea: This move wasn’t just about locking in an invaluable piece of the lineup. It was an overture to fans who saw various core pieces of the Panthers’ identity — Cam Newton, Luke Kuechly, Greg Olsen, and Ron Rivera — leave town over the past seven months. Extending McCaffrey keeps a beloved young player in town and shows Carolina fans there’s still something familiar to root for in Charlotte. That’s a tidy price team owner David Tepper can roll into McCaffrey’s paychecks.
This new deal will take him through the 2025 season. It will likely be relatively frontloaded to either prep McCaffrey for another extension in 2023-24 or allow Carolina the chance to get out from the remainder of the contract while eating limited dead salary cap space. As a result, it’s likely the club is tied to paying big money for the age 24 to 27 or 28 years of McCaffrey’s career.
Those are good years! Faulk didn’t become his prime All-Pro self until he was a 26-year-old with the Rams. Three of Craig’s four Pro Bowl campaigns came after age 26. While McCaffrey’s usage is a concern — his 506 carries are fifth-most in the NFL since 2018 and his 729 combined touches rank second behind only Elliott — there’s a reasonable chance he maintains his high level of play through the bulk (if not all) of this deal.
Stites: Maybe the Panthers needed this extension to keep fans relatively optimistic about the Matt Rhule era. But the case to trade McCaffrey made much more sense to me than an extension.
Carolina needs a lot of work. The Dolphins were the only team that allowed more points than the Panthers last season. Now Kuechly, James Bradberry, Mario Addison, and Gerald McCoy are all gone.
While Bridgewater was signed to supplant Cam Newton and Kyle Allen at quarterback, the offensive line is worse off after trading Trai Turner to the Chargers and allowing Greg Van Roten to walk in free agency.
Even if McCaffrey continues to play well over the course of the next four seasons will it even matter? In 2019, he had the third-most yards from scrimmage a player has ever had in an NFL season and the Panthers still only won a grand total of five games.
McCaffrey was due a huge extension and he had all the leverage to land a contract that averaged at least $15 million. Carolina didn’t have to be the team to pay it, though. A player as elite as McCaffrey probably would’ve fetched significant draft capital on the trade market. That could’ve been used to rebuild the Panthers’ offensive line and defense.
Instead they’re spending $16 million per year on a position that’s usually not worth the investment.
Is any NFL running back worth more than $15 million annually?
D’Andrea: McCaffrey’s value isn’t just that he’s good for roughly six yards per touch — it’s that he fills three different roles on his own. He took more than 86 percent of the Panthers’ non-QB carries last season, outpacing Reggie Bonnafon atop the team’s leaderboard by a 287 to 16 margin. He played more offensive snaps (93 percent) than anyone else on the roster except offensive linemen Taylor Moton and Matt Paradis. With McCaffrey in the lineup, you don’t need to worry about a third-down back or particularly blitz-absorbing bruiser in pass protection; he does it all.
That’s an obscenely useful trait that allows the team to build roster depth elsewhere, and we haven’t yet gotten to the point that he had more catches last fall (116) than anyone in the league but Michael Thomas. Remember when Le’Veon Bell said he wanted to be paid like a top running back and a No. 2 wideout? McCaffrey checked off all those boxes between 2019 and 2020. Now he’s getting the contract Bell once wanted.
That said, few positions take the abuse a tailback does, and the risk of burnout is very high. McCaffrey hasn’t missed a game in his pro career, but the track record for players who get the ball as much as he does isn’t great. Since 2000, only 13 players have averaged at least 300 touches per season in their first three years in the league. That ranges from inspiring (LaDainian Tomlinson, Adrian Peterson, Matt Forte) to concerning (Domanick Williams, Alfred Morris, Gurley). All those hits add up, which makes devoting eight percent of your salary cap to a single back a tough bet to lay.
I wouldn’t be happy paying anyone elite cash out of the backfield, but if I had to pick one guy, I’d go with the 23-year-old who just trashed the league for more than 2,000 total yards.
Stites: Recent history is all the evidence you need to argue that running back isn’t worth a lofty price tag. That’s unfortunate, because few running backs even get the chance to sign an extension and McCaffrey has clearly earned a raise.
But an extension for David Johnson burned the Cardinals, the Jets immediately regretted signing Bell, and the Cowboys would’ve been better off paying Dak Prescott before Elliott. A huge contract for a running back didn’t push any of those teams closer to competing for a Super Bowl.
It’s been an extremely long time since the blueprint for a championship squad included a significant chunk of the salary cap being dedicated to the running back. The 2019 Chiefs didn’t even have a player with more than 500 rushing yards in the regular season.
Yes, McCaffrey is more than just a four-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust bruiser. But the Panthers’ prospects in 2020 and beyond weren’t improved by this contract.

Kentucky, Governor and Lieutenant Governor Republican Primary!
The surrounding areas includes Kentucky!
The candidates are Incumbent Matt Bevin & Ralph Alvarado
“Matt Bevin was elected the 62nd Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky in 2015. He is a husband, father of nine children, veteran and successful small business owner."
“Bevin Designated more than 1.2 billion to shore up shortfalls in Kentucky Employees Retirement System and the Kentucky Teacher's Retirement."
"Governor Bevin successfully launched the Red Tape Reduction Initiative, designed to cut through the “red tape” of excessive and complex regulatory burdens.”
"Alvarado already had built a career as a physician. He did his residency at the University of Kentucky. As a public official, his work has included a focus on issues that affect the medical industry and public health. For example, he has been pushing for legislation that bans the use of tobacco products on the grounds of public schools."
and Robert Goforth with his LG Mike Hogan
"Robert grew up in poverty, enlisted in the U.S. Army when he became of age, and served as a combat engineer. Robert put himself through college at the University of Kentucky, and graduated from pharmacy school, becoming a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.). "As a pharmacist and business owner, Robert knows all about self-reliance, hard work, and what it takes to accomplish goals. He’s a proven job creator." "Robert built his businesses from the ground up, building his pharmacies in Southeast Kentucky up from zero to multimillion dollars in annual revenues. Robert created over 30 jobs in his businesses for people in our region." "Robert is committed to a people-first agenda that values working families, small business owners, and seniors."
"Mike Hogan is a native son of Lawrence County in northeastern Kentucky. Mike and his brother were raised by a single mother in humble circumstances. Mike learned discipline and leadership after he joined the U.S. Army. Thanks to the Good Lord, a great mom, and the G.I. Bill, Mike became the first generation in his family to graduate college and later law school.
Summary from users on the Kentucky race! Thanks for your valuables inputs on the elections! Full Credit goes to these users!
u/cl1ft >I'm afraid the teachers union in Kentucky has convinced many Kentuckians that Bevin is awful even though he is the only governor in ages with enough balls to get something done in this state and attempt to fund the pension and right some budgetary wrongs (no matter how painful). A lot of Kentuckians are registered Democrat but vote conservative, but very easily swayed by the state media. Most people don't understand that Dems have run this state into the ground for 100 years. It doesn't help that this state deems him an outsider... even a carpetbagger. He really isn't the smoothest politician. I look at this as a good thing, but most people aren't pragmatic enough to understand the difference between politicians (liars) and regular folks who speak what they think. u/UnitedSaltMineWorker >I’ve been telling people that on here for the last year and get labeled a shill. Robert Goforth is the only hope of maintaining a Republican governorship in 2020. The dems don’t have any ammo to use against him, their entire scheme goes belly up if Goforth wins the primary. It’s also time to oust Beshears and Grimes. They have been destroying our state for long enough, and Grimes is a key player in the dems election fixing schemes. I really wish someone could get word to President Trump to stop blindly backing Bevin via Pence. If Beashears or Edalin become governor our open carry is gone, hunting will be over regulated, and coal mining and manufacturing is doomed. I work closely with local offices, and the dem establishment want eastern KY bankrupt. Their goal after 2020 is to put a planned parenthood in the Hazard area, and remove gun rights. Any McGrath was a test to see what they could pull off, and it nearly worked.
Bevin does not stand a chance! People are done with him. Rob seems like a genuine good guy, give him a shot of upset!

2019 NFL Draft: Order 49ers, Raiders are projected to pick in first round
2019 NFL Draft: Order 49ers, Raiders are projected to pick in first round originally appeared on nbcsportsbayarea.com
There's only one week left in the 2018-19 NFL regular season, and there's only one thing 49ers and Raiders should care about -- the 2019 NFL Draft order.
As a result of the Raiders' 27-14 win over the Broncos on Monday and the 49ers' 14-9 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday, the order at the top of the draft has been shuffled.
Both Bay Area teams sit at 4-11 on the season, tied with the New York Jets for the second-worst record in the league. The Cardinals, at 3-12, are alone at the bottom. However, due to opponents' strength of schedule, San Francisco has leapfrogged the two other 4-11 teams and would pick second in the 2019 NFL Draft if it was held Tuesday.
The Raiders experienced the opposite side of that coin. Their win, combined with losses by the 49ers and Jets, drops them to the No. 4 pick in the draft with one game to go.
Even if the 49ers beat the Rams on Sunday, the worst they can do is have the No. 5 pick, according to Adam Stites of SB Nation. However, the Raiders' draft range is much wider. If the Raiders win at Kansas City in Week 17, they could fall all the way to ninth.
Maybe more than any other team, the Raiders need their top pick in the draft to be as high as possible. Much of this has to do with their trades of Khalil Mack to the Bears and Amari Cooper to the Dallas Cowboys.
Mack has been an NFL Defensive Player of the Year candidate for the NFC North champion Bears, while Cooper has turned the Cowboys' offense into a real problem for defenses as Dallas won the NFC East on Sunday. Through Week 16, the Raiders' first-round pick from the Bears is projected to be No. 27, and the pick the Cowboys gave them is at No. 25.
Neither pick will fall out of the top 20, with both teams winning their division.
Finishing on a strong note always is every team's goal. But for the 49ers and Raiders, finishing strong only means getting closer to the top pick in the draft.
