I believe their odds at getting the #1 pick is at 2.35%. It sure would be nice to land a top five pick.

Since the Cardinals have a 2.35% chance of getting the top pick I'll go out on a limb and answer that the first pick is their highest possible.

Highest as in not the lowest, that being #1. I guess it depends how one looks at it. But, I probably should have asked what the lowest in the first round could be in the lottery.

I, too, am confident the highest possible pick will be 1st.
but I'm waiting for confirmation from my accountant

Let's put it this way. I discovered the worst pick the Cardinals can get in the upcoming lottery is the 13th pick in the first round.

17th is the worst.... not realistic but the worst. Thankfully, we can't fall to 18th.....the perks.

One thing I learned in math.
An average person is a mean person.

Interesting, I likewise consulted my accountant. As usual, he told me He will put his top staff on this probably taking about 20-30 hours of analysis. Can’t wait to get the bill for this job.
To justify his fee, thr findl answer will be detailed in a minimum 10 page analysis report. He may be expensive but he is dang thorough.

I thought Cards fans had
been trained to be adverse
to unnecessary expenditures.
