Around the NFL
Below is the updated order for the NFL draft in April. Baltimore will pick 25th, Arizona 26th, Dallas 27th and San Diego 28th.
The order of the remaining four teams will be determined by the result of the remaining games. The Super Bowl champion will pick 32nd. The two losers of the conference championship games will pick 29th and 30th.
There are a few ties that will be broken by coin flips.
Ties are broken in some areas, but the tie-breaking process is different than in the playoffs. It's down strictly by strength of schedule. In the three-way log-jam between 5-11 teams, for example, Cleveland beat the Raiders. But the Browns are still picking before Oakland because they had an easier schedule. For this deal, the league gives no weight to head-to-head results, conference records or any of that stuff. If it's a tie after strength of schedule, they move directly to the coin flip.
