The Bucs won't be picking ahead of us when all is said and done.

 

[SA_Gunslinger]

2 top ten's would be a somewhat good consolation for this year.

 

[DoomsDayD]

I would be happy with 2 top tens and a boat load of money for FA's

How do they decide order for teams with identical records? Because with us losing by 20 points in the last few games seems like it should be factored in. I would go as far saying that Buffalo is actually better than us.

I think KC will be picking after us as well.

I think Buffalo still have to play Miami, San-Francisco, Cincy and Cleveland...

I don't think their pick will be that high, but badly, our own pick will be pretty high.

But a lot of their remainng games are on the road where they have been awful. If they continue their losing ways, odds are they replace Bledsoe with Losmann. 6-10 seems where they will fall. Dallas and Buffalo could have identical records.

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.

 

[DoomsDayD]

i think both us and buffalo will have 5 wins this year. should make it interesting.

30. Pittsburgh Steelers, 8-1, .481
31. Philadelphia eagles, 8-1, .494
32. New England Patriots, 8-1, .506

Numbers all crunched by the computer automatically.

For example Dallas % by the quoted list list is .556.

By the included list it is .543.

Here are Dallas opponents so far with wins and losses.

Minnesota 5-4
Cleveland 3-6
Washington 3-6
NY Giants 5-4
Pittsburgh 8-1
Packers 5-4
Lions 4-5
Bengals 3-6
Eagles 8-1

That's 44 wins over 81 games played.

44/81 =.543

Even if you calculate in the rest of the schedule we haven't played so far it comes to .549 instead of .556.

Will we get any compensatory (sp?) picks? Still not sure exatly how that works. Is it you just get a pick if a free agent lost has a very good year?
