I would be curious to see what the results of a fan poll would look like right now. If you could choose between the Pittsburgh Steelers winning all seven of their final games and reaching the postseason, or losing all of them and securing a top-10 draft pick, which would you prefer? I have a feeling the latter might prevail at this point.
Those rooting for draft capital may well end up coming closer to getting their wish than the former group, although they are certainly not going to lose out. Their remaining schedule isn’t even challenging enough for that.
