How the NFL creates the draft order
Simply put, the NFL ranks teams for the draft in terms of record.
Teams with worse records pick players before teams with better records. The Super Bowl champion traditionally picks last.
For teams not in the playoffs, the NFL ranks the first 18 picks by regular season record, worst to best. Any tiebreakers go to teams with the easier strength of schedule.
For teams in the playoffs, the earlier a team loses, the earlier they will pick in the draft.
Draft picks No. 19, No. 20, No. 21, No. 22, No. 23, and No. 24 to to the teams knocked out in the Wild Card Round of the NFL Playoffs.
Again, the strength of schedule determines any tiebreakers.
Picks No. 25-28 go to the teams that lose in the Divisional Round. The 29th and 30th draft picks go to teams that lost their conference championship games.
And finally, No. 31 goes to the loser of the Super Bowl, while No. 32 goes to the NFL champion.
(Though not this year, since the Super Bowl champion L.A. Rams traded their first-round pick to Detroit.)
