Current Draft order and our possible drafting range

[Mr. Laz]

apparently depending on what happens in the last week of the season we can pick as high as 14th or as low as 22nd.

December 28

Selection order if the 2005 draft were held today; opponents'
combined W-L records based on all 16 opponents

x indicates tie to be decided by coin flip

3 Tennessee 4-11 .521
4 Miami 4-11 .546
5 Arizona 5-10 .463
6 Chicago 5-10 .471

29 Indianapolis 12-3 .496
30 New England 13-2 .496
31 Philadelphia 13-2 .442
32 Pittsburgh 14-1 .475

* Buffalo's 1st pick would be #56
** NY Giants 1st pick would be #40


if we lose we move up 1 slot for every other 7-8 team the wins.

our Drafting Range depending on who wins and loses is in red

we lose the tie breaker with every team but Baltimore.... next tie breaker is coin flip i believe.




Games that impact our draft position

WEEK 17
NY Jets at St. Louis 1:00 PM
New Orleans at Carolina 1:00 PM (doesnt matter, both count)
Cleveland at Houston 1:00 PM
Cincinnati at Philadelphia 1:00 PM
Jacksonville at Oakland 4:15 PM
Miami at Baltimore 1:00 PM
Minnesota at Washington 1:00 PM
Atlanta at Seattle 4:00 PM

Teams in blue might help us get a better draft pick if they win.

[NaptownChief]

If New Orleans won and we lost that would impact it wouldn't it? Am I drunk?

[Mr. Laz]

If New Orleans won and we lost that would impact it wouldn't it? Am I drunk?

new orleans plays another team(carolina) who is also 7-8 ... we lose the tiebreaker to both so they cancel each other out so we can't get the 13th pick.

Gottcha...

[Logical]

Actually in a miracle scenario they could tie which if we would lose would have us drafting before both of them.

[Bowser]

How much you want to bet that we'll draft 19th, some player who could have a positive impact on the 2005 season will miraculously fall to our spot, and we'll trade down. :shake:

*edit*
And we won't take said player because he is not a "profile" guy.

no it's not gonna happen Bowser. Cause you said it. :p your jinking our 19th spot, therefore, we are going to draft 13th. Hey we can't have bad luck all the time :shrug:

No doubt ....... ROFL

[nascher]

Seattle doesn't matter !

They are already Playoff-Bound

[teedubya]

man, if we had lost the last 4 instead of winning them like total dumbasses.... we would be up wiht the 3 pick. man, that would have owned.

[Mr. Laz]

Seattle doesn't matter !

[/edit]

playoffs dont impact draft order ... just wins and losses



the only 2 tie breakers are:

1. Strength of Schedule (we lose vitually every tie with this)
2. Coin flip

[whoman69]

I don't believe making the playoffs can effect their draft position unless they make the Super Bowl.

[Logical]

You are correct, record is the only thing that counts towards draft position unless you make the Super Bowl.

[Mr. Laz]

You are correct, record is the only thing that counts towards draft position unless you make the Super Bowl.

i pretty sure it does make a difference


a several years back Dallas picked ahead of us because we made the playoffs even though they had a better record and you know we didn't make the super bowl. :(


unless they have changed it???? :shrug:

The team with the lowest winning percentage at the end of the previous season drafts first in the NFL Draft.
• The rest of the teams are placed in order from lowest winning percentage to the highest.
• The Super Bowl winner drafts last, even if they do not have the highest winning percentage.
• The Super Bowl loser drafts next to last.
• Strength of schedule for the previous season is the first tie-breaker for teams with the same winning percentage.
• Divisional and conference records are the next step in the tie-breaking procedure.
• As a last resort, a coin toss is used to determine the order of selection for teams with the same winning percentage.
• If a playoff and non-playoff team end the season with the same winning percentage, the non-playoff team selects before the playoff team. http://football.about.com/library/weekly/bl_draftbasics.htm

[Frankie]

I swear every time we have the same record with a bunch of other teams we are always the last to pick among them. :banghead:

[Frankie]

13 New Orleans 7-8 .475
14 St. Louis 7-8 .492 ***
15 Houston 7-8 .504
16 Carolina 7-8 .508 ***
17 Cincinnati 7-8 .533
18 Kansas City 7-8 .550



Isn't "head to head" the first tie breaker? If that's the case, Houston, Carolina and New Orleans have beaten us this season. Wouldn't we then pick ahead of them?

[philfree]

When one studies the win% of the each team and then the records of the teams with the most wins he finds that the top 6 teams opponents win% is less then .500. DV has said from day one in KC that strength of schedule is one of the major factors in making the playoffs. We had one of the toughest schedules in the league this yeas at .550, top 5.


PhilFree :arrow:

[nascher]

If a playoff and non-playoff team end the season with the same winning percentage, the non-playoff team selects before the playoff team.

[htismaqe]

So the tie-breaker that we need to be concerned about is strength of schedule...but is a higher SoS better, or worse?

If the season ended today, we would either pick 13th or 18th, depending on the answer to the above question.

[BigChiefFan]

Looks like we will pick in the top 15, but damn this is confusing. I sure hope we land some impact players in the draft where ever we end up picking.

higher SOS means you pick lower



btw- i check into so more and the playoffs don't overrule the win/loss records.


so we can slide down to around 22nd i believe

[BigChiefFan]

your both right ... dont know what i was thinking :banghead:

[htismaqe]

So our only hope is to lose and have everybody else ahead of us win this weekend?

I may be rooting for San Diego this weekend, if the difference between winning and losing is TEN PICKS.

:cuss:

nope...


as far as i know the ONLY 2 tiebreakers in determining the order of the draft is SOS then a coin flip.

[Lzen]

http://football.about.com/library/weekly/bl_draftbasics.htm


That link is nice and all. But how do we know if it's legitimate info?


higher SOS means you pick lower...

By lower, do you mean better draft position than teams you're tied with recordwise?

[Mr. Laz]

By lower, do you mean better draft position than teams you're tied with recordwise?

No ...


the higher your SOS the further down the draft you drop


example:

PK Team record SOS
5 team #1 8-8 .100
6 team #2 8-8 .200
7 team #3 8-8 .300
8 team #4 8-8 .400


notice that every team has the same win/loss record at 8-8. But team #1 gets to pick 5th because their SOS is lower at .100.


in otherwords:

Team #1 supposedly played weaker opponents(ie SOS) and still ended up with the same record(8-8) so the NFL considers them the weaker team.

team #3 opponents have a higher win/loss record(ie SOS) and still ended up 8-8 so they must be a little be better to win against harder competition.

[Cntrygal]

Dallas thought they would be getting a top 10 from us. :D

[Rausch]

So our only hope is to lose and have everybody else ahead of us win this weekend?

I may be rooting for San Diego this weekend, if the difference between winning and losing is TEN PICKS.

ROFL ROFL this is hilarious. Seriously, its funny how people think they are automatically going to get a better player in the draft cause of higher selection in the draft. Not always the case.

It's not automatic.

But with Carl Peterson in charge, having a higher pick enhances our chance of actually getting a player that can contribute...

[Iowanian]

The Chiefs need a "96esque" draft.............first 4 picks started D in 1997, and led the team to a very good season.

[htismaqe]

Those guys were all 2nd-year players.

In essence, we need to hope that Key Fox and Junior Siavii (in addition to Allen) become forces next year...

[Frankie]

I hate to belabor the point. But SHOULDN'T head-to-head results count? It just doesn't make sense to me that 3 teams (Jags, Titans and the winner of the Saints/Panthers game) with potentially equal records with us get to draft ahead of us when they have bettered us on the field.

[Frankie]

Those guys were all 2nd-year players.

Then let both play substantially this week. I'm all for that.

maybe it should, but it doesn't

[bricks]

Not really. There's a lot of high draft picks that have been busts, or teams that draft high and end up with jack. The Bengals, and the Cardinals are evidence of that. Can't look at it that way. Peterson or no Peterson, it doesn't matter. You can get a good player anywhere. Take '96 as an example, the Chiefs drafted what? In the Mid rounds? To only end up with players like Jerome Woods, Reggie tongue, John Browning, Donnie Edwards, and Joe Horn. It depends all, on who's available, who fits your team, how the scouts evaluate. I think it boils down to luck and timing.

[Mr. Laz]

yep, the patriots have won 2 out of the last 3 super bowls because they are lucky


and the chiefs are one of the unluckiest team in recent history

You're right.

After looking at that list, it's obvious that it doesn't matter where we end up.

Unless we get a top 5 pick, ala Thomas or Smith, Peterson will **** it up.

[Logical]

Will the Chargers bench Tomlinson and co. since they've already locked up their division?.... :hmmm:

I doubt it Marty is old school like Cowher. Each game is played on its own merits with these type coaches.

[bricks]

You're right.

I sure hope we don't get a repeat scenario like we did with ala Ryan Sims.

[CanadaKC]

Maybe we'll be lucky like the Seahawks, Ravens, and Steelers in recent drafts ...when suprisingly the player they wanted...a la Trufant, Suggs, and Roethlisberger fell into their laps.
