31) Super Bowl Loser
32) Super Bowl Winner
Atlanta, Oakland and Kansas City all have the same strength of schedule. Oakland was 0-8 against opponents in common with KC, so Oakland must pick higher than KC. Since Atlanta and Oakland are in different conferences, that tie will be broken with a coin flip. If Atlanta wins the flip, Atlanta picks 3rd, Oakland picks 4th and KC picks 5th. If Oakland wins the coin flip, Atlanta and KC (as teams in different conferences) flip a coin to determine who picks 4th and 5th.

Other ties, (Denver beat Buffalo head to head, Chicago was swept by Detroit) were broken using conference/division tiebreakers.)
Washington's strength of schedule is guaranteed to be better than Tampa Bay's. Tennessee's is guaranteed to be better than Pittsburgh's.
The draft tiebreakers are as follows:
1) Worst record picks first, and teams are ranked by record, worst to best. A non-playoff team takes priority over playoff teams with the same record.
2) Ties are broken first with strength of schedule (total number of wins by 16 opponents, or average winning percentage of all 16 opponents, the result is the same)
3) If teams are same division, divisional playoff tiebreakers
4) If teams are same conference, but not same division, conference playoff tiebreakers
5) Coin Flip

As a Lions fan, the draft is our Super Bowl. Thanks for the updates. Do you think the Lions can get Desean Jackson or Malcom Kelley at 15?
I think so, maybe even either one. I think DeSean is a better fit for the Lions because Calvin and Williams are both big guys, and DeSean would be a good slot/speed guy. My concern would be that taking him at 15 will be even worse than the Dolphins taking Ted Ginn at #9 last year. It's not that he's bad, just that's too high. There are other good WR's out there.
Who do think the Pats will end up with?
