Draft-order ties are
resolved by the cumulative record of each team’s opponents. The team with the weaker opponents receives
drafting priority.
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. The Super Bowl champion selects 32nd and the
runner-up 31st.
