This is actually worst case scenario.
If Petey showed something but still lost because he's a fifth round rookie, you could sell the locker room on him while keeping your pick high for 2018. He was so bad you can't reasonably start him from here on out, even though that would virtually ensure a top 7 pick.
Now we'll win a couple with TT and pick #10-16 and miss on QB's. Red alert.
