How is the NFL Draft order determined?
The NFL Draft order is determined by the reverse order of each team’s finish that season, with playoff teams assigned their selections based on when they are eliminated and their record. NFL Draft tiebreaker procedures also come into factor when determining the final order. Teams that do not make the playoffs slot into picks 1 through 18. The playoff teams are then placed into picks 19 through 32.
- The six teams eliminated on Wild Card Weekend receive picks 19-24 based on regular-season record.
- The four teams eliminated in the Divisional Round receive picks 25-28 based on regular-season record.
- The two teams eliminated in the Conference Championships receive picks 29 and 30 based on regular-season record.
- The team that loses the Super Bowl gets pick 31.
- The Super Bowl champion gets pick 32.
