TIE-BREAKING PROCEDURE FOR SELECTION MEETING
- Clubs not participating in the playoffs shall select in the first through 20th positions in reverse standings order.
- The Super Bowl winner is last and Super Bowl loser is next-to-last.
- The losers of the Conference Championship games shall select 29th and 30th based on won-lost-tied percentage.
- The losers of the Divisional playoff games shall select 25th through 28th based on won-lost-tied percentage.
- The losers of the Wild Card games shall select 21st through 24th based on won-lost-tied percentage.
If ties exist in any grouping except (2) above, such ties shall be broken by strength-of-schedule. If any ties cannot be broken by strength-of-schedule, the divisional or conference tie-breakers, if applicable, shall be applied. Any ties that still exist shall be broken by a coin flip.
--------------------
So, if the Browns beat the Chiefs and both teams finish 1-15, the number one overall draft choice would be determined by Strength of Schedule. In that case, the Browns would probably choose first because their schedule includes the NFC East.
