tampa bay has the first overall pick as of now

Raidahs beat the 49ers, how the hell did that happen.

Are you sure? What's the tiebreaker for that?

If no h2h then I think OOC ties are broken by SOS

 

TB has to have had an easier schedule considering how bad our division is

Wouldn't the harder SoS then pick earlier... Raiders definitely have that against Denver twice, San Diego twice and KC twice.

No, by winning the SOS battle the Raiders get ranked higher and the lower ranked team gets the top pick.  It actually works in reverse since your goal is to be bad instead of good.

reverse SOS

Didn't matter. The Raiders weren't taking a QB anyway. Just makes the Bucs look more pathetic. Although I really hope da Bears can take care of business cause I don't want to hope the Bucs must beat the Saints in the finale.

The way it works is that if you win only two games and have an easier schedule, then you suck worse than someone with the same record, but having played better teams

I was thinking about it as which team was luckier vs. not lucky but thinking about it that makes sense. Although it should be SoV (strength of victory) to determine not SoS.

Depends who the wins are against for each team. It should be SoV.

Tennessee does.

Then, TB, then Raiders

Bwaha cool beans. The Bucs couldn't chose their QB in that scenario.

Tenn has to go QB. TB will too.

NYJ may be forced to go with the 3rd best QB available if they don't go Cooper.

Exactly. An added bonus to that scenario would be to give Luck some competition.
