we beat detroit and wash? how we pick ahead of them ???

 

[Midswat]

That can't be correct.

Why would Buffalos pick be lower then the Seahawks, Saints and Rams?

The playoff teams get the bottom 12 . . .

Our Buffalo pick is higher than that . . .

 

[Nav22]

This is completely inaccurate. Buffalo missed the playoffs, so they can't pick worse than 20th.

Rams got in, meaning they pick 21st at best.

 

[VoR]

According to Brad Sham on radio our pick is #11.

 

[Cbz40]

Why would we pick ahead of the Skins ????????

 

[JohnsKey19]

wow. so it is the 8th pick and not the 11th? that would be great!

 

[Hostile]

According to Brad Sham on radio our pick is #11.

Sham is correct.

 

[jamez25]

Hostile made a post about this earlier..we will be drafting at the #11 spot and at the #21 spot with Buffalo's pick....

 

[p_tubbs]

Strengh of schedule is the first determination of draft order and also even though there are teams that have worst records than the Bills that are in the playoffs, the Bills still picks behind them unless they win the Super Bowl.

 

[Randy White]

Head to head doesn't enter into the equation unless it's part of the division and schedule. It's complicated.

It's record, schedule strength, division record, toin coss, if I remember correctly.

 

[VA Cowboy]

This is bogus. Our pick will be about 11th (may be subject to coinflip)

Also, all playoff teams DO NOT draft after all non-playoff teams. Buffalo finishing 9-7 will have a LOWER pick than 8-8 playoff teams.

 

[Derinyar]

our pick should be behind the other 6-10, except the Giants.

Buffalo's will slot with where they record says it should be.

That's not correct.

Playoffs teams pick AFTER non- playoff teams, regardless of the record.

 

[VA Cowboy]

Playoffs teams pick AFTER non- playoff teams, regardless of the record.

Not true

 

[big dog cowboy]

Does it really matter? I mean, it isn't April yet. Anything could happen between now and then. Well, almost anything.

 

[Hostile]

That's not correct.

Playoffs teams pick AFTER non- playoff teams, regardless of the record.

No sir.

TIE-BREAKING PROCEDURE FOR SELECTION MEETING
If two or more clubs are tied in the selection order, the strength-of-schedule tie breaker is applied, subject to the following exceptions for playoff clubs:

1. The Super Bowl winner is last and the Super Bowl loser next-to-last.
2. Any non-Super Bowl playoff club involved in a tie shall be assigned priority within its segment below that of non-playoff clubs and in the order that the playoff clubs exited from the playoffs. Thus, within a tied segment a playoff club that loses in the Wild-Card game will have priority over a playoff club that loses in the Divisional playoff game, which in turn will have priority over a club that loses in the Conference Championship game. If two tied clubs exited the playoffs in the same round, the tie is broken by strength of schedule. If any ties cannot be broken by strength of schedule, the divisional or conference tie breakers, whichever are applicable, are applied. Any ties that still exist are broken by a coin flip.

 

[Randy White]

can you, please, verify ?

Seattle at 20. is definitely wrong. Seattle is 9-7 like Buffalo, but they made the playoffs which would drop the pick according to the tie breaker.
