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.

      Also confirmed that Andersen was injured and not 100%. Said he could've kinda played but really can't do that this time of the year.

      Every union, union adjacent, or union tangent organization does this. They prey on dumb employees  who think the union is there for them instead of the mob or some other social-politically entangled arse. Always degrades the product and indeed the price of that product too. Then money flowing up to people with 0 to do with anything about the product. Its the most simple protection racket and oldest in the book yet people are still sub 70 enough to think it matters for anything other than making money for the racketeers.  I mean this is on their Wiki(yeah i know wiki) The NFL Players Association is the labor union representing National Football League players in matters concerning wages, hours and working conditions, and protects their rights as professional football players. So instead of the player doing that with his own agent which is why you have a fkn agent lol. So they are pilfering money from the player twice. Agent then NFLPA The standard annual membership dues are approximately $15,000. While players are not legally obligated to formally join the union, those who choose not to are generally still required to pay a mandatory service fee equivalent to union dues. Can't take anyone seriously when they talk up unions and since the mob is involved that's why you get those refs doing NFL ref poo. You can even hear former mob Michael Franzese just open admit this now that he's out of prison and making YT videos.(has been for years now)
