Is that correct then that 1-30 are seeded by record order regardless of the teams making the playoffs?
Time to look where we draft. Atlanta also finished 11-5 and made the playoffs. Do we pick in front of them?
I'm not going to complain about an 11-5 team not making the playoffs ( it sucks but its so rare that its not worth *****ing about ) but I really think its stupid that the team is punished twice by picking behind the **** teams that went 8-8, 9-7 but made the playoffs. All non playoff teams should pick before any playoff team.
We will pick at the 20th spot in the draft. The 12 playoff teams will pick from 21-----32.. We have the best record of the 20 remaining teams so we pick in the 20th spot..........I think
Assuming a 10-6 or worse team does not reach the Super Bowl, the Patriots will pick 24th. There are 23 teams with 10-6 or worse records, and all of the other 11-5 teams made the playoffs, meaning the Pats pick before them.
Link please?See rule above...
Pats will pick 20th...
"Remaining teams are sorted by regular season record, with worse records picking first, regardless of playoff status; teams that make the playoffs can't pick before teams that do not." ----NFL rules for determining draft order.
Looking back to last year, the Browns went 10-6 did not make the playoffs whereas the Redskins went 9-7 and made the playoffs and had the pick before the Browns. If the rule hasn't changed, this says that the Pats will be picking behind playoff teams in the #24 slot.
