Playoff - Draft seeding: Question

Say we win JUST enough games to win our division..

Would that automatically place our draft position in the 20's? Or would our draft position still follow our Win / Loss record?

 

Pardon my ignorance on the matter. 

 

Basically my question is.. If we finish at say.. 6 wins.. do we draft before or after the teams who finished with a higher amount of wins but still missed the playoffs? (Baltimore, for example is last in their division with already more wins than we could possibly amass)

If the answer is as simple as this, than that is fine. 

 

Yea, it's as simple as that.  Non playoff teams draft 1-20.  Loser of wildcard round with the worst record picks 21st, and so on.  If we back into the playoffs at 5-10-1 and win the Super Bowl, we pick #32.  Lose SB, 31.

The phrase backing into the playoffs would have to be redefined if we get in with that record.

Imagine the conflicting conversations we have to have with our kids?

Dad are you crying tears of joy or pain? I don't know. I just don't know.

We'd have to call it "dragged into the playoffs kicking and screaming.."

depends on how you do in the playoffs. A loss in WC would mean the 21st pick. Lose in divisionals then the 25th. Loss in the CCG would be 29th, a SB loss would be 31st, win 32nd.

If we get to the playoffs as the 6th seed and lose the first round (assuming nobody else gets into the playoffs with a worse record than us,) we will pick 21st. All playoff teams, regardless of record, draft later than non-playoff teams...

 

The draw back of winning the division with a not so good win/loss.

      Many layers my frend- Panthers had a draft recently. They picked 4 defense players. Each player picked 11, 22, 33, 55 as their number. For some players that number match the round or pre-draft round rank, example- Prince was a 3rd rounder and choose 33. Nic was a 1st rounder on some mock drafts and Dan Morgan said they had him as a 1st, he picked 11. Cam Jackson recently switched his number to 55, same as draft and has been telling Dave he wants to be special over and over.  The 44 was to add GOAT feels, thoughts, and more intrigue to this rookie phenomenon. X files was cause it was a great TV show and maybe it was playing when this theory came together.......   I hope this helps!

      The best things Purdy has are certainly important tools for any QB. His accuracy his timing his decision making etc. I feel like he is a high end Teddy Bridgewater. You can compete and win in the regular season with this especially in a weakened NFC but where his limitations come into focus is when you are trying to contend for a Super Bowl you are going against elite and in some instances generational QB's like Mahomes. And when the time has come for him to go up against Mahomes he simply can't get it done. Now certainly he is not alone in that regard and people will point to another highly regarded QB such as Josh Allen who also cannot get by Mahomes. But the difference I see is Allen is not IMO at a phsyical disadvantage in that matchup whereas Purdy is. And that is with what had been to this point a comically stacked roster around Purdy and let's be clear we cannot understate that regardless of which side of the fence we land on in this debate. Purdy has had a top 5 roster and a top 5 coach. And the last time they went to the Super Bowl they leaned on McCaffrey extremely heavily. Now with what they are having to pay him and divert limited resources elsewhere they face a steep climb to get back to the Super Bowl let alone actually win it.

      Lonzo mentioned Melo going to the Clippers, but he also said we would draft Dylan Harper and he isn't making it to 4.
