Opponents strength of schedule is usually the determining factor. If the Cowboys are tied at 6-10 with another team that they haven't played head-to-head, the team that has had "easier" opponents (worse winning percentage) will pick higher. The thinking is that the team that had the same record as another team yet played and easier schedule should draft higher because their record is even less impressive - based on opponents faced.
