With the completion of NFL’s wild card weekend four more slots in the 2016 NFL draft order were set.
The NFL’s system for ordering the draft was tweaked a few years ago when they decided to have all of the teams that did not make the playoffs occupy the first 20 spots and then line up the playoff teams by 1) how far they advanced in the playoffs and 2) their regular season record.
Among the teams that were eliminated this weekend in the wild card round, both the Texans and Redskins were 9-7 while the Vikings were 10-6 and the Bengals were 12-4. The Redskins will pick over the Texans in the first round because they had a weaker strength of schedule.
