Draft Order Determined!

[bagobonez]

This is the draft order by my calculations. Remember the tie-breaker for draft position is determined by strength of schedule. The teams with a weaker strength of schedule win the tie. I've listed each teams' strength of schedule next to their record.

1. SF (2-14)
2. MIA (4-12) .555
3. CLE (4-12) .590
4. CHI (5-11) .468
5. TB (5-11) .477
6. TEN (5-11) .519
7. OAK (5-11) .574
8. AZ (6-10) .461
9. WAS (6-10) .476
10. DET (6-10) .499
11. DAL (6-10) .515
12. SD (6-10) .516 (from New York)
13. CAR (7-9) .508
14. HOU (7-9) .511
15. KC (7-9) .555
16. NO (8-8) .465
17. CIN (8-8) .543
18. DAL (9-7) .512 (from Buffalo)
19. JAX (9-7) .535
20. BAL (9-7) .555

The other teams will not be determined until they are eliminated from the playoffs.

Now you're talking Lions post season football! Thanks, Bones.

Wow, never new that SoS was the tiebreaker. I always figured that it was done kind of in the reverse of the playoff tiebreakers. So for instance, since the Fins beat the Browns, the Browns would get the #2 pick and the Fins would get the #3.

Glad to hear that's not the case, now the Fins and Bears both ended up with better picks

If I understand this correctly, does that mean that because the Browns played tougher opponents than the Dolphins, that they get a lower draft pick? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

EDIT: Nevermind, I guess that way they truly reward the team that is worse, not the team that was dealt the tougher schedule.

I always thought it was determined by a coin flip.

11 and 18 for the 'Boys? Not what I was expected when we were 3-7, and the when the Bills started off 0-6...

I expect the top two picks to be moved, and Kansas City to move into the top 5 somehow to attempt to grab Antrel Rolle or Derrick Johnson.

Cleveland has many options on who to take with their pick, they should be very happy with where they sit.

I imagine Chicago will take Mike Williams with #4.

The team I have my eye on is Tennessee. It will be interesting to see what they do with Volek and McNair, or possibly attempt to take Leinart or Rodgers if either of them is there at the 6 slot.

Id like to thank the Cowboys for screwing the Chargers. Should have won the game easily tonight and instead found a way to completely blow it. Pick was 4th if Giants lost, instead its 12th. Just lovely...

Let me add this is what was announced locally and it appears they would have picked 6th based on SOS. No matter, still killing the Chargers.

I imagine Chicago will take Mike Williams with #4.

Probably the only time in my life I hope they trade down, but I am truly starting to agree with Canadian_Cheesehead that Braylon Edwards will be better than Mike Williams.

Ooh...5th pick.

I hope the Bucs can trade down for more draft picks so they can build a better O-line. I also wouldn't mind getting a Auburn back in the draft.

Dream situation: Get LJ + draft picks from KC for the #5 pick.
