I guess by a similar logic we would benefit from a Charger win.
Edit: Oh wait. That would probably hurt our second round trade pick by more value than it would help our own picks.
Patriots draft pick improves

Thanks to an astute e-mailer, our good pal Josh, the following nugget is passed along:
With the Eagles (9-6-1 regular-season record) and Cardinals (9-7 regular-season record) meeting in the NFC Championship game -- which ensures that one of them will be in the Super Bowl -- the Patriots' draft position has improved by one spot to 23rd overall.
Draft order is determined by regular-season record, and the 11-5 Patriots were initially projected to draft 24th. The Eagles were initially projected to pick 22nd and the Cardinals 21st.
There is one exception, however, as the Super Bowl loser (regardless of regular-season record) picks 31st and the Super Bowl winner (regardless of regular-season record) picks 32nd.
Thus, the Patriots bump up the spot.
and if SD gets to the super bowl we go up another spot. i'm really hoping that vontae davis will be there at 22 or 23.

Such a joke that 1-30 is based entirely on record, and that a playoff team can pick before a non-playoff team....
Their second round pick moves up one from the first round. If the do have the #16, as you say, in round one then we would have #15 in round two.Where do we draft now with San Diego's pick in the 2nd round? 5 teams had 8-8 records, drafting from 12-16 within each round. SD has #16 in the 1st round based both on highest winning opponent winning percentage and on being the only playoff team among the 5. Does that mean that we have #12 in the 2nd from SD (#44), as I believe the order reverses in off rounds, or do we have #48?
