Twelve teams have games to prepare for this morning.
But for the other 20, the 2016 NFL Draft looms, and with the playoff field set, we know the order of the first 20 picks.
The Titans earned the top pick in the draft with yesterday’s loss to the Colts, since they lost to an even worse collection of teams than the 3-13 Browns. Strength of schedule is used to break draft order ties, making Cleveland’s September win over Tennessee irrelevant.
The Browns will pick second, followed by the Chargers, Cowboys and Jaguars.
Here’s the list of the top 20 slots in this year’s draft shown with records and strength of schedule numbers. The remaining picks will be filled in as the playoffs progress (wild card weekend losers will take slots 21-24, divisional round losers 25-28, etc.):
1. Titans: 3-13 (.492 )
2. Browns: 3-13 (.531)
3. Chargers: 4-12 (.527)
4. Cowboys: 4-12 (.531)
5. Jaguars: 5-11 (.473)
6. Ravens: 5-11 (.508)
7. 49ers: 5-11 (.539)
8. Dolphins: 6-10 (.469)
9. Buccaneers: 6-10 (.484)
