I don't think soI'll look later but I think it's Supe winner and supe loser are last two, rest is by W-L record
The draft order is determined by first generating the order for the first round. That order is based generally on each team's regular season record, except as noted below:The winners of the Super Bowl are given the last selection, and the losers the second to last selection.[2] 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. For teams with the same record, teams that fail to make the playoffs always pick before teams that earned playoff berths. For teams that make the playoffs, ties are broken by the order in which teams lost in the playoffs. Remaining ties are broken by strength of schedule. For draft order, a lower strength of schedule results in an earlier pick. If strength of schedule does not resolve a tie, division and/or conference tiebreakers may be used. If the tie still cannot be broken, a coin toss at the NFL Combine is used to determine draft order. (Note: Strength of schedule is the combined records of a team's 16 opponents, including games played against the team in question, and counting divisional opponents twice. Because of this, each team's opponents' combined wins and losses—counting a tie as a half-win, half-loss—will add up to 256, so a team whose opponents had more combined wins has a better strength of schedule.) *********I'm not sure Chase, Pats before SD or no?not same record so....BTW it's from wiki
As someone else said, teams are seeded by winning percentage except for the two teams who played in the Super Bowl. So the Pats First tiebreak is non-playoff teams pick before playoff teams.Second tiebreak is strength of schedule.Taking last year as an example, the Bucs were 9-7 and a playoff team. The Browns were 10-6 and not a playoff team. Bucs picked 20th while the Browns pick was 22nd, even though the Bucs were a playoff team. The Browns, however, picked first out of all the 10-6 teams as the rest of them made the playoffs.So for the Patriots this year, they are in a 4-way tie at 11-5 and will pick before the rest of those teams since they are all playoff teams. They are currently slotted with the 24th pick with 8 teams definitely picking after them. The Chargers making the SB would move the Pats up a slot, and they would also move up a slot if the Vikings, Eagles, or Cardinals made the SB. So they could pick 22nd if it is a Chargers vs Vikes/Eagles/Cards SB, or would pick 23rd if only one of those teams made the SB. I believe that is the case anyway.
Seahawks at #4 and Browns at #5
