If any ties cannot be broken by strength of schedule, the divisional or conference tie breakers, whichever are applicable, are applied. Any ties that still exist are broken by a coin flip. |

However, NFLN is also reporting that the coinflip for #3 will be between KC and Oakland, the loser flips with Atlanta for #4. I don't think anyone knows for sure what will happen until Goodell basically decides who he wants to pick 3rd and 4th. |

This procedure would be consistent with how they break ties for the playoffs. Let's say KC, Oakland and the Dolphins all had the same record and were contenders for the 6th seed in the playoffs. You have to break the tie in the division between KC and Oakland before you even consider the Dolphins. That is the way that I read the playoff tiebreakers, and I'm 99.9999% certain that was the intent of who ever wrote the draft tiebreakers. Maybe they will interpret it differently now, but that would essentially be making a new rule on the fly.

if thats the case, then atl would be 3 (1-5 in division), kc 4 (3-9 in conference), then oakland (2-4 in division, 4-8 in conference) to add to the confusion: Quote:

No, you cannot apply a division tiebreaker to two teams that are not in the same division. Earlier that AJC report had Atlanta drafting 3rd when they applied the rule like this. They later retracted ther story as you can see.

I read today that Oakland will pick 5th and that KC and Atlanta will need the coin toss to determine the 3rd and 4th slots...

this sounds like our fantasy league, where something always comes up you didnt have a rule in place for so you make one up as you go and it is worked into your rules for the following year
