2010 NFL Draft Order after two weeks: Patriots hold the 1st and 2nd Picks in 2nd round!

Admin said...

According to the NFL Draft Order after week 4, the Patriots hold the 1st and 13th pick in the 2nd round.

patriot's lose to Miami, how sweet it is!!

i thought bucs had second pick in the first round?

Anonymous said...

denver got it good this year. they got the 8th and 10th pick

Anonymous said...

BTW, Chicago's 2nd round pick is traded to Tampa Bay, not Denver.

Curious. If it goes SoS, Div, Conf record before it gets to a tie breaker how come Jacksonville and Chicago are set to a coin flip when Chicago is 5-7 in Conference and JAX is 6-6? Same with TEN/CAR and ATL/HOU.

None of those combinations are tied down to the Conference level, some not even at Division level.

Did teh NFL change the draft determination and not tell anyone?

Admin said...

That only happens if they are in the same conference or division... which isn't the case with those.

Hmm, the Pats would have had the 8th over all pick this year from Oakland. I wonder if that would rather have that than the 2011 pick.

does head to head not count? just wondering why the browns pick ahead of the raiders when the browns beat the raiders this year.

Admin said...

Head to head doesn't count. Strength of schedule is the first tiebreaker.

Anonymous said...

Good point, Anonymous (1/4 10:56 p.m.) Head-to-head is not even considered among the criteria to determine tie-breaker. Perhaps it should be...

I think playoff results is just another tie-breaker used - not a determining factor. Notice that San Diego made the playoffs last year, but did not have the 21st pick (they picked 16th). Also Tennessee did not make the AFC championship game (played between Baltimore and Pittsburgh), yet Tennessee drafted 30th (and Baltimore drafted 26th).
Only the Suber Bowl results supercede the other tiebreakers. That is why Pittsburgh drafted last and Arizona drafted 2nd to last.

Admin said...

Last year you would have been correct -- starting in 2010:

The losers of the wild-card games will be seeded 21st through 24th based on their records.

The losers in the divisional rounds will be seeded 25th through 28th. Teams eliminated in the conference championship games will be seeded 29th and 30th.

The Super Bowl loser will be seeded 31st. The Super Bowl winner will receive the final pick in each round.

Last year, the playoff results were used as the 1st tie-breaker (ahead of strength of schedule). Playoff results did not supersede regular season records.

San Diego drafted 16th despite making the playoffs, while New England drafted 23rd despite not making the playoffs.

This was because San Diego's regular season record was 8-8, while New England's regular season record was 11-5.

As well, despite Tennessee not making it to the championship game, Tennessee drafted 30th. Philadelphia and Baltimore, who each made it to the championship round, drafted 21st and 26th respectively. -Philadelphia got the 28th pick from Carolina.

Tennessee's record was 13-3, better than Baltimore's 11-5 record and Philadelphia's 9-6-1 record.

Only the Super Bowl winner and loser, Pittsburgh and Arizona, picked last and next-to-last respectively.

It would follow then, that this year, the Jets did not drop below Cincinnati and Philadelphia by virtue of winning yesterday while each of those teams lost.

In order to drop below Cincinnati and Philadelphia, the Jets would have to make it to the Super Bowl. In that case they would draft either 31st or 32nd.

@Brett - Read the comment previous to yours. The Owners changed the rules starting with the 2010 season.

Brett said...

Where can one find updated rules for determining the draft order? The old rules are still posted on NFL.com

CJ Spiller all the way

Brett said...

Thanks for sharing the article.
Are conference tie-breakers still used if strength of schedule is tied? If so, wouldn't head-to-head record come before division or conference record?

Admin said...

If SOS is tied, then you look at division/conference records (if they apply). For example, CHI and JAX have SOS tied, and they aren't in the same div or conference, so it goes to the coin flip.

Head-2-Head doesn't factor at all in NFL Draft Order.

pats suck

Brett said...

In the 2008, there were two ties in the draft order broken by head-to-head games.

Buffalo and Denver (7-9 record, .516 SoS)
Chicago and Detroit(7-9 record, .543 SoS)

http://www.solecismic.com/frontierblog/?p=192

I am guessing the owners voted in March of 2008 to remove head-to-head records from the tiebreaking steps?

Brett said...

This article seems to verify that all conference and division tiebreakers are applied, including head-to-head games.

http://www.nfl.com/draft/story?id=09000d5d805a3a57&template=without-video&confirm=true

It's worth noting: none of the ties in Strength of Schedule this year are between teams in the same conference. Therefore, the conference and division tiebreakers are not applicable for any of these ties.

Maybe the Raiders will get another QB, JaMarcus is headed for the CFL.

do the browns have the jets 5th round pick from the edwards trade?

Anonymous said...

SUE is going to be the first pick... unless a team with a strong D gets a trade for the first pick, but as it looks now he is going to be going to St.Louis or any other of the top 5 teams. we all know any team in the top 5 needs a player like that. almost more then any position.
