Around the NFL
Below is the updated order for the NFL draft in April. The Jets will pick 29th; the Vikings will pick 30th.
There are a few ties that will be broken by coin flips.
Ties are broken in some areas, but the tie-breaking process is different than for the playoffs. It's donw strictly by strength of schedule. In the three-way log-jam between 5-11 teams, for example, Cleveland beat the Raiders. But the Browns are still picking before Oakland because they had an easier schedule. For draft order, the league gives no weight to head-to-head results, conference records or any of that stuff. If it's a tie after strength of schedule, they move directly to the coin flip.
