sodbuster Posted December 31, 2018 Report Posted December 31, 2018 The NFL just deleted their draft order tweet. I can't trust anybody anymore. Quote

nfreeman Posted December 31, 2018 Report Posted December 31, 2018 Well, McD butchered the QB situation this year, but I'm reasonably happy with Josh Allen, most of the D, #9 overall (where they will most likely get a good receiver or O-lineman) and a ton of cap space. Beane needs to make it count. 1 Quote
Eleven Posted December 31, 2018 Report Posted December 31, 2018 The Bills pick ninth. I swear, if they do something stupid like spend two first-round picks on a receiver again, I'll just quit watching football. Quote
JujuFish Posted December 31, 2018 Report Posted December 31, 2018 Everywhere I see says the Bills pick tenth. Where is everyone seeing 9th? Quote

Apparently the league (or somebody supposedly in the know) put out an incorrect list of the top 10 earlier in the night. It seems that earlier info has been corrected and Buffalo picks 9. Quote
Hoss Posted December 31, 2018 Report Posted December 31, 2018 The Bills pick ninth or tenth depending on a coin flip. It's based on record and tie-breakers are based on whoever has the WEAKER strength of schedule. The Broncos and Bills opponents have the exact same record once a winner is decided in tonight's game (that will add a win and a loss to the Bills opponents' records). Quote

I don't know about the list you're talking about, but literally everywhere I've looked agrees with the strength of schedule tiebreaker for the 6-10 teams. 1 minute ago, Hoss said: The Bills pick ninth or tenth depending on a coin flip.

There's still a game going on... Quote

Buffalo & Denver have the same strength of schedule. Once they get to the 4th tie breaker, strength of victory, Buffalo gets the 9th pick & Denver 10th. Per Virgil over on SDS's other board. Quote

It's SOS, then division record, then conference record, then coin flip. Quote

You can read it here yourself: https://operations.nfl.com/the-players/the-nfl-draft/the-rules-of-the-draft/ Specifically this bit: In situations where teams finished the previous season with identical records, the determination of draft position is decided by strength of schedule — the aggregate winning percentage of a team’s opponents. The team that played the schedule with the lowest winning percentage will be awarded the higher pick. If the teams have the same strength of schedule, division or conference tiebreakers are applied. If the divisional or conference tiebreakers are not applicable, ties will be broken by a coin flip. Quote

Eleven Posted December 31, 2018 Report Posted December 31, 2018 Did I NOT just see a Tennessee DB lose his helmet on a helmet-to-helmet hit? This league is a joke. Quote

I know 1 spot in the draft doesn't mean much, but it still makes me feel a little better, haha. Quote

North Buffalo Posted December 31, 2018 Report Posted December 31, 2018 I know it doesn't help the Bills draft position... but a win against the Fish is always worth it. Hope someone breaks Kiko's legs next year and he is suspended for steroids.... what BS. Quote
