NFL Draft ’08 Selection Order
Miami Dolphins are On the Clock
The Miami Dolphins will make the first choice of the NFL Draft ’08 on April 26-27. The selection order is based on current record and combined W-L record of all opponents
Coin Flips and Tied Segments
x- Atlanta and Oakland will flip a coin for the third position at the NFL Combine in February. If Atlanta wins, the Falcons will draft third, the Raiders fourth, and the Chiefs fifth. If the Raiders win the coin flip, they will draft third, and the Falcons and Chiefs will flip a coin to determine the fourth and fifth positions.
Though Buffalo and Denver had the same strength-of-schedule, their tie for the 11th and 12th positions was broken by the conference tie-breaker. Denver defeated Buffalo in their head-to-head competition, Buffalo is given priority in the draft order and will select in the 11th position.
Chicago and Detroit also had the same strength-of-schedule. Their tie for the 14th and 15th positions was broken by the divisional tiebreaker with the Lions defeating the Bears twice in head-to-head competition. Chicago is given priority and will select in the 14th position.
Since Cleveland is not in the playoffs, the Browns (who traded the selection to Dallas) have priority in the draft ahead of playoffs teams with the same record.
Within a tied segment, non-playoff clubs are given priority over playoff clubs. Priority of playoff clubs within a tied segment will be based on their advancement in the playoffs, but they will not drop out of their tied segment unless they participate in the Super Bowl. Teams within a tied segment will rotate up with the top club moving to the back of the segment in the following round.
y- Playoff teams final position will be determined by NFL postseason
