so... a division winner could pick ahead of a wildcard entrant? something just seems wrong with that.

The draft is based on record

so...  are you saying that if a Superbowl winning team has a final record of 17-2 and the loser of the Superbowl has a record of 18-1, the winner gets to pick before the loser? obviously i know the reasoning and who would pick where and why, i'm just saying that certain aspects of the seeding doesn't make sense to me.

I don’t have an opinion on it really. Thought you were saying the Bills should draft after the eagles because the eagles won the division

Draft order is determined by when a playoff team loses, then their record. New England and Buffalo are grouped with other wild card losers, and will fill slots 21-24. The losing teams will then fill the slots based on records Bills(10-6) Patriots (12-4). Saints (13-3) and Vikings (10-6, but better Strength of Schedule than Bills) would draft behind us, and the Seahawks (11-5) would draft behind us, but the Eagles at 9-7 would draft ahead of us, if they lose.

no. and to be honest, i don't have much of an opinion on it either. i just think were the Eagles to lose, that them being a division winner, they would be picking ahead of a wildcard entrant seems somewhat off. i understand the whys and wherefores, just arguing there is a logical argument the other way is all.

Yes. They win the division so get higher chance of home game for playoffs. Yet the record affects the pick spot....something wrong there.

As hard as I find it to pull for the Eagles, I'll try.  :D

I actually don’t like either team, and have little interest in this game overall, so this gives me a reason to watch or at least pay a bit of attention

Tre White was 27th overall.

 

Who will be next?

Ironically enough DeAndre Hopkins was also drafted 27th overall.

I dont know if I can bring myself to root for the Eagles.

i find it hard to root for any NFC team (or to even watch NFC games to be honest). just an observer here i guess.

Plenty of things in NFL don't make sense.  Like the 3rd and 18 play in which the play clock goes to 0 before the snap.  Yet this is not reviewable.  Even though it was obvious.

In my predictions earlier this week, I did have the Eagles upsetting the Seahawks!

 

 

 

 

....although, I also had Buffalo and New England winning. ?
