EmotionallyUnstable Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 There are All-Pros to be found. Tre White was 27th overall. Who will be next? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have an opinion on it really. Thought you were saying the Bills should draft after the eagles because the eagles won the division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffaloaggie Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Draft order is determined by when a playoff team loses, then their record. New England and Buffalo are grouped with other wild card losers, and will fill slots 21-24. The losing teams will then fill the slots based on records Bills(10-6) Patriots (12-4). Saints (13-3) and Vikings (10-6, but better Strength of Schedule than Bills) would draft behind us, and the Seahawks (11-5) would draft behind us, but the Eagles at 9-7 would draft ahead of us, if they lose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought you were saying the Bills should draft after the eagles because the eagles won the division no. and to be honest, i don't have much of an opinion on it either. i just think were the Eagles to lose, that them being a division winner, they would be picking ahead of a wildcard entrant seems somewhat off. i understand the whys and wherefores, just arguing there is a logical argument the other way is all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fansince88 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 16 minutes ago, Foxx said: didn't the Eagles win their division? Yes. They win the division so get higher chance of home game for playoffs. Yet the record affects the pick spot....something wrong there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually don’t like either team, and have little interest in this game overall, so this gives me a reason to watch or at least pay a bit of attention 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of things in NFL don't make sense. Like the 3rd and 18 play in which the play clock goes to 0 before the snap. Yet this is not reviewable. Even though it was obvious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotAct Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 In my predictions earlier this week, I did have the Eagles upsetting the Seahawks! ....although, I also had Buffalo and New England winning. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
