NFL owners pass change on playoff teams draft order - ESPN
Didn't see this posted anywhere on here so I thought I would...
Basically what the owners passed was a change where draft order will not be strictly based on regular season record: Wild card losers will be assigned picks between 21 and 24. Divisional round winners will pick from in between 25 and 28. Conference game losers get picks 29 and 30. The order within these picks will then be based off records. Of course Super Bowl winner picks at 32 while loser picks at 31.
I really like this change especially coming off a year where we will be draft 7 spots behind the Chargers who made it to the AFC Divisional Game. Just to add perspective if these changes were in effect this year we would be picking at #20.
Also two other rules changes were passed:

Also two other rules changes were passed:
• If a fumble or backward pass goes out of bounds, the game clock will start when the official places the ball in play.
• The NFL eliminated a second onside kick chance if the first onside kick goes out of bounds. The competition committee believed that bad onside kicks should not be rewarded with a second opportunity.
