Draft talk rounds 4-7

[SBXVII]

So what the hell happened in the draft? Usually the draft order flips during the 3rd and 4th rounds, ie: the Skins didn't have a 1st round but it would have been late 1st round, then the 2nd round we were 19th. So the 3rd and 4th rounds we should have been close to the top in order then it would have flipped again. Instead we are steady around 20th. Why?

I may be wrong here, but I don't remember that ever being the case.

The draft order doesn't change.

The draft order does change round to round. It happens when teams have the same record.

IE... You have one team get two wins in a season, they always pick first each round since no one had the same record. Then two teams both have three wins. One team gets the number two overall pick due to tiebreakers. The team that picked number three overall (the team that lost the first round tiebreaker) would have pick two in the second round. The team that picked second overall would have the 3rd pick in round two. Those two teams draft orders will alternate round to round since they had the same record.

To the draft itself, I think we have done a good job so far. No complaints about two big, fast DB's. I was worried about the TE pick at first, but it does give us an extra playmaker while letting us delay the WR decision an extra year. We also have the option now of going more 2 TE sets. It also allows us the option of letting Davis walk if he is getting offers for way to much money that would hurt the cap more than needed (never know, he may get enough money in FA to get us a compensatory pick).

The draft order doesn't snake was my point.
