How do they determine the NFL Draft order for teams with the same record? Say The Lions and anybody else?

Check out the link under Rules For Determining Draft Order.

To answer your specific question, it is based on strength of schedule for ties. The weaker of the schedules gets 1st dibs in a tie.

Thumbs up to those who agree.

right now the Rams are 1-12 and the Bucs are 1-12. these two teams are battling it out for first pick. it will probably come down to a coin toss since both of these teams wins came from within their own conferences.

The Lions have worse conference record. It is possible they pick 3rd. If they go to a coin toss and lose they could pick 4th.

So at this point the draft order can look like this:

1. Rams

2. Bucs

3. Browns

4. Lions

5. Chiefs

This is of course if they didn't trade their picks in some other transaction.

They go by the tiebreaker if the teams played each other or strength of schedule.

The Lions would have either the 3rd or 4th overall pick in the draft currently how the last 3 games of the season pan out. But note the Lions beat the Browns so that means most likely Detroit will get the 4th overall pick cause of a tiebreak.

1.Tampa Bay Bucs

2. Rams

3. Lions/Browns

4. Browns/Lions

5. Chiefs

1. Head to Head If they did not play each other then...

2. Division Record (Record against Division opponents) If they have the same divisoin record then.

3. Record against common opponents (If thats still the same then...)

4. Conference Record (If somehow this is still the same then...)

5. Points for vs. points allowed percentage. (This usually determans it if it comes down to it. Usually it doesn't.

I believe first they would use those tie breakers to get the order within a division or conference... just like they separate division first for playoffs, after that they would have to use H2H and then common opponents, and strength of Schedule and Strength of victory...

Head to head record then division and conference record, just like the playoff tie breakers.

I think that if the teams played each other, the losing team gets the better pick. If they didn't play each other, they do it randomly.

I think they draw names from a hat or something like that.

its done by record...rite now tampa has the # 1 pick, then detroit
