The Super Bowl winner will draft last unless there's some new rule or something. I was thinking the loser always drafted 31st but not 100% sure on that.

After that there's 4 other 12-4 teams, head to head doesn't matter. Its strength of schedule that matters. Not sure where we rate in that.

We're second in best SOS. New England is first. So if they win the SB, then they pick last and we pick 31st. If they lose the SB, then the winner picks last, NE picks 31st and we pick 30th.

that's right... super bowl loser is 31st. So we'll be 30th unless NE doesn't make the Super Bowl.

Didn't we get the 31 pick from SF and used it on Fredericks? They lost the SB to the Ravens.

Draft Order:
•Determination of Draft order for the 32 NFL teams is based on the record and playoff finish by each team in that year.
•For the teams that did not make the playoffs, order is determined by overall season record, with the worst record picking first.
•For the teams that made the playoffs, the rest of the picks are ordered by playoff record, with the teams that lose getting lower picks based on which round they were ousted and the Super Bowl winner getting the last pick.
•For the playoff teams that got eliminated in the same round, their order is determined by regular season record.

•Overall ties are then broken by strength of schedule, which is a calculation of the combined record of all of a team's opponents in that year, with divisional opponents counting twice.
•The next tie breaker would be record against conference opponents and then divisional opponents.
•Coin flip will occur if tie still exists
•After the first round, the order is determined by revolving the teams with the same records, with the team that just picked first of the group picking last in the next round.
•If there is an expansion team, that team will pick first, and if there are two expansion teams, they will flip a coin with one team getting the first pick in the draft and the other in the expansion draft of current players.




Which means the worst we could draft is 28th. (the 4 teams in the Championship game will draft after us no matter what)

The NFL will probably rule because Bryant came on the field last week, they are taking away our 1st rd pick as penalty
