In the event of a tie draft order is decided by strength of schedule, the weaker the schedule the higher the pick. So in that case the order at this point is:

1. Kansas City (2-11) (.485)

2. Jacksonville (2-11) (.557)

3. Oakland (3-10) (.497)

4. Philadelphia (4-9) (.497)

5. Carolina (4-9) (.550)

6. Tennessee (4-9) (.554)

7. Detroit (4-9) (.560)

8. Arizona (4-9) (.563)

I'm gonna believe the leagues site. It's gonna change anyway though.

That's fair, but your source isn't the draft order, just the standings. The draft order isn't just the inverse order of the playoff standings, the tie-breakers are different. Here's a link to the playoff tiebreakers: http://www.nfl.com/standings/tiebreakingprocedures

If you recall, we lost a draft spot based on a coin flip last year, they didn't take into account all those various scenarios to break the tie. It's based on opponent win percentage and if that's a tie then they literally flip a coin.

But you're right, it'll change a lot in the next 3 weeks; fortunately for us we have a relatively weak schedule the rest of the way.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      We won't know the answer to this for a long time. Reality is, Caleb has been the consensus #1 in that draft for years. Bryce was a similar situation, but mostly the same. He was not the clear and obvious #1 that Caleb was, but most teams had Bryce at QB1. The Panthers were always going to be terrible Bryce's rookie year.  I don't think DJ Moore's presence would have changed anything about that offense, as our guards, center, and left tackle were getting demolished on nearly every snap. It's clear Caleb's dad was trying to do everything possible to ensure Caleb didn't end up in Chicago with Eberflus. It's hard to imagine that he wouldn't have done the same, but probably more publicly with our situation, considering Carolina is an easier target for the media than Chicago. We can all speculate, but it's impossible to tell who is going to have the better career on May 16, 2025. If either QB doesn't pan out, we have an easy answer. If both flame out, the bears clearly won the trade, but it wouldn't have really mattered anyway. We all know how we win the trade. Candidly, even if one of the other picks we gave up ends up being a hall of fame player, we don't know if the panthers would have taken that player anyway. All you can do is make the best decision you can in the moment with the information you have. I really like Bryce Young, and I'm glad he's a Carolina Panther.  The only way to win in the modern NFL is to have an absolute dude at QB. I personally am happy that our franchise recognizes this, as I remember times when they did not.
