This is another link with the draft order, showing how playoff teams with worse records than non-playoff teams pick, if they do not make it to the SB.
I hope this ends and clears this up for everyone, that playoff teams choose from 21-32 automatic, which they do not.

Draft Order
Jan 3 2005
Current NFL Draft Order
*Generally, the first 20 teams are determined by record, with the order of playoff teams being determined by when they are eliminated from post-season play. This year, however, with two 8-8 eight teams in the playoff field, things shake out a bit differently. Because Minnesota and St. Louis have worse records than some non-playoff teams, they will be placed after all other teams with the same winning percentage, depending on which of the two teams is eliminated from the playoffs first. If they are both eliminated in the same round, Minnesota would select before St. Louis based on strength of schedule.
1. San Francisco (2-14)
2. Miami (4-12)
3. Cleveland (4-12)
4. Chicago (5-11)
5. Tampa Bay (5-11)
6. Tennessee (5-11)
7. Oakland (5-11)
8. Arizona (6-10)
9. Washington (6-10)
10. Detroit (6-10)
11. Dallas (6-10)
12. San Diego from N.Y. Giants (6-10)
13. Houston (7-9)
14. Carolina (7-9)
15. Kansas City (7-9)
16. New Orleans (8-8)
17. Cincinnati (8-8)
18. Minnesota (8-8)
19. St. Louis (8-8)
20. Dallas from Buffalo (9-7)
21. Jacksonville (9-7)
22. Baltimore (9-7)
23. Seattle (9-7)
They did not have 24 to 32
