I do need to remind myself from time to time how the order works, but one thing I do remember is that whenever I see this chart, I can skip reading points 2-5.

Thoner7 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 looks like 10 or 11 for the Bills, assuming they lose to the pats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Blizzard Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 looks like 10 or 11 for the Bills, assuming they lose to the pats. Yup I do not see history repeating itself. Bills look to be 6 - 10 at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Out of the QB area......but should still get a top defensive player in that area......probably moving to a 4-3 something to keep in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McD Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Complete **** that we're drafting behind a team that beat us TWICE! I think if you have the same record, the head to head should come into play against the two teams that played head to head. Even then, to keep it fair that could only be for Rd 1. After that the spot should be rotated each Rd. In this case there are 3 6-10 teams. Buffalo would be ahead of Miami due to the head to head, and the Bills and Panthers would do the "flip" for Rd 1. If Carolina won the flip, then it would be: Rd 1 Carolina Buffalo Miami Rd 2 Buffalo Miami Carolina Rd 3 Miami Carolina Buffalo and so on.... Of course you could do almost the same thing, but since Miami beat us head to head, then they would NEVER draft ahead of us and we would only rotate with Carolina. Carolina wins the flip... Rd 1 Carolina Buffalo Miami Rd 2 Buffalo Carolina Miami Rd 3 Carolina Buffalo Miami Just a thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picnic Table F'er Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 How do rounds 2-7 work anyways. I thought we swap positions in later rounds with teams who tied us. But I'm not sure. Anyone have a definite answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramius Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 How do rounds 2-7 work anyways. I thought we swap positions in later rounds with teams who tied us. But I'm not sure. Anyone have a definite answer? For all the teams at a given record, in each subsequent round, the teams get bumped up a slot, with the top team falling to the bottom. So in round 1 we get the 10th pick, round 2 the 9th, round 3 the 8th, round 4 the 10th, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernMan Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Here's something we can pretty much count on.... For the 2013 draft, the rules committee will realize that head-to-head match-ups should carry more weight than the strength of schedule setup currently used. This year however, Miami (who should be picking behind Buffalo, based on their 2-game sweep of the Bills) will draft a perennial probowler at # 9 whom the Bills coveted, and the Bills will then reach at #10 for a defensive back or pass rush specialist who will struggle to get on the field and will become a journeyman NFL player when the contract is up. see: Patrick Willis/Marshawn Lynch, 2007 draft to see how much that one change in draft position can effect the outcome The "strength of schedule" over "head-to-head" draft slotting rule seems convoluted to me. Using that line of logic, why not have playoff teams seeded according to strength of schedule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernMan Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) "Pretty much count on"? What are you basing this on? Do you have a link to some comment from a member of the rules committee? I was being facetious. In other words, "wouldn't it just figure...". Kind of like when the Colts were able lure star tackle Will Wolford away with a offer that was anything but fair to the Bills. If I remember, the Bills had to match their offer. The problem was that he was offered a contract that would match the highest paid player on the Colts team, or something to that effect. The Colts didn't have anyone with Jim Kelly numbers, so what they offered wasn't exactly apples to apples. I don't remember the exact details, so don't jump up my ass if I didn't get it exactly right. But the bottom line is that it was a screw job, and the Bills lost their starting tackle. Of course, the following year, the rule was changed so that that sort of underhanded negotiation was eliminated. Too late for the Bills.
