2012 NFL Draft Order For The Non Playoff Teams

PrintAs we noted last night, the Eagles will be picking at #15 in this April's NFL draft. But how did it happen?
The Eagles were one of seven teams to finish at 8-8, so strength of schedule decided the difference between pick #13 and pick #19. The Cardinals "won" that race with the weakest schedule having played in the poor NFC West. The Eagles and Cowboys also benefited from playing playing the NFC West as well as their own mediocre division schedule. The big loser was the Bears, who dropped to #19 thanks to having played the Packers and Lions twice as well as the Falcons and Saints of the NFC South.
The difference between the Eagles 15th pick and Arizona at #13 was about .02%. Here are the strength of schedules for the 8-8 teams.
Cardinals - .469
Cowboys - .473
Eagles - .488
Jets - .500
Raiders - .504
Chargers - .516
Bears - .527
That said, perhaps the biggest loser was the Tennessee Titans, who won their final game against Houston but was eliminated from the playoffs anyway. Had they lost that game, they would have picked at #13. Instead, they win what ends up being a meaningless game and fell to the #20 slot.
After the jump is the full confirmed draft order for the non playoff teams.
1. Colts
2. Rams
3. Vikings
4. Browns
5. Buccaneers
6. Redskins
7. Jaguars
8. Panthers *
9. Dolphins *
10. Bills
11. Chiefs *
12. Seahawks *
13. Cardinals
14. Cowboys
15. Eagles
16. Jets
17. Raiders
18. Chargers
19. Bears
20. Titans
* These teams have identical records and strength of schedule, so their order will be determined by a coin flip.

I’d love to watch how they arrange the coin-flip for those teams. Where do they meet? Who represents each team? How do they decide which team is heads and which team is tails? Who flips it? So many questions.

so what are our draft needs.
1.) Lb
2.) Cb
3.) Dt
4.) Wr
5.) Te
6.) Ol
by VRFC8 on Jan 2, 2012 1:29 PM EST via mobile reply actions
wr could move up to 3 or 2
If Djax leaves.
Also saftey could be argued instead of corner but I lean more toward corner.

Safety is a week position in this years draft. Besides, while I’m not a fan of any of them, I’m not ready to pull the plug on Allen, Coleman, and Jarrett. Besides, it would suck going for a safety high in the draft 3 years in a row.

They lost all 16 fucking games in a season his 2nd year in the NFL. Their drafting was atrocious. That didn’t work at all. Please tell me this is a joke.

I was getting at if you take enough of them you’re bound to hit on one. I’m not saying their drafting was stellar.

Either way, I think we can agree that the Lions strategy to get a WR was a historic disaster.

I think after LB you just listed random positions

umm ok....
We need a young secondary player specifically a corner. Drc is our youngest player and he has to be resigned. Hansen is getting older, asante is gone and marsh/ Hughes are not impressive.
Dt, Jenkins and Patterson are good but up there in age. Dixon is our best young prospect, we need depth along the line and a stud in the second rd would help a lot.

landri is 29....
So I didn’t forget him. But a young dt from the second rd can easily replace laws in the rotation.

I would say...
LB,SS, DT, RT…
we need to get younger at a few positions.
CB, TE are not needs

Somehow we got about 12 picks in the first 3 rds
Not very likely ha. Did a ten yr old put this together?
by jdgordo1 on Jan 2, 2012 1:58 PM EST via iPhone app up reply actions
eh
I stopped reading after he said Samuel was declining. Also, he neglects to include joselio hanson who is a good slot corner and will be in that position next year most likely.

I dont care about the article or opinion
just the draft picks. I mean I like it even if its a far reach. Dre, Luke, Barron, Demps, Travis Lewis, we come out with all our needs addressed and some really solid players
They were playing for a chance in the playoffs?

Ladies and gentlemen, your 2012 3rd round reach.
Ole Miss
Kentrell Lockett, DE
Lockett’s injury history (knee) is the main thing holding him back. If he can prove in his sixth year of eligibility that he is completely healed, his quick first step, good motor, and decent power should make him marketable to NFL teams. His ability to play in the 3-4 and 4-3 won’t hurt either.

God Damn you, Andy Reid.
The fat queen has failed us again. Reid must go.
Hey Andy!! Nothing to see here!!
EB you evil evil man!

The words "good motor" and "high motor" fill his scouting reports.
I watched an Ole Miss game and heard these words and instantly thought to myself, “that young man will soon be an Eagle.” When I heard “coming off a horrific knee injury,” that only served to confirm.
God Damn you, Andy Reid.
The fat queen has failed us again. Reid must go.
And he’s had six years of eligibility? What he is even doing on campus at this point?

Could the “B” stand for Babin? Is JasonB secretly Jason Babin and through this website manipulated the Eagles brass to get him out of Huston and into Eagles Green?

Not sure if any one else asked this yet, but do any of the 14 teams ahead of us need a LB as much as we do?
"I hate listening to people's dreams. It is like flipping through a stack of photographs. If I'm not in any of them and nobody is having sex, I just don't care. "
Haven’t really went over it, but generally if you’re that high you have more high value needs than LB. Top 15 is where QBs, DEs, OTs and to a lesser extent corners and WRs dominate.

What this SHOULD mean...
…the Eagles will get one of the top 2 LB’s in the draft.
What this WILL mean…
The Eagles will get the 4th best DE in the draft.
God Damn you, Andy Reid.
The fat queen has failed us again. Reid must go.
So if we draft a top 2 LB, will you say good job or keep been negative as always?
by Anders Jensen on Jan 2, 2012 6:58 PM EST up reply actions
Probably depends on whether these LBs have a history on knee injuries or are described as having a high motor….

If the Cardinals don’t take the best OL available, everyone involved with their draft should be fired.

Teams that draft inside the top 10-15 usually have more than one glaring need. So if LK is the BPA than we may not get him.

The teams that draft this low also needs more help then just an impact MLB and as Jason said above, QB, DE/DT and OT dominates. Outside of LB, the Eagles have no glaring needs at all.

You know what? Even at 8-8 I love this team. Who wants to root for the fucking Patriots with their asshole cheating coach and their pretty boy hair transplant qb.
I like Fat Andy. He keeps us in it every year. His flaws are incredibly well documented, and give Evil Banner and Joe D fodder to mock him in entertaining fashion.
Give Lurie credit. He’s a better owner than Jerry Jones. He went out and got Nnamdi and many, many others over the years. Some pan out, some don’t. But the effort is there.
Yesterday the fanshot asked “Are you not entertained?”
Yes, yes I am.
by ghostofandrewatters on Jan 2, 2012 5:51 PM EST reply actions
I'm with you
Like Andy as the HC, the consistency of the top brass, and the sense of a cohesive organization. I really do feel the elements are in place, or falling into place, for a great run. Win or lose, I love watching them anyway.
Can we just draft Justin Blackmon now? Good lord dude is a beast.

You rather want him then stud MLB like Kuechly?
by Anders Jensen on Jan 3, 2012 12:54 AM EST up reply actions
Well if both were on the board, I’d take Blackmon because he’d be BPA… but I wouldn’t trade up and miss out on Kuechely to get Blackmon. If Jackson returns, WR is still a strength on this team. LB is the opposite of a strength.

Which is kind of like a weakness.

OL....
We could also use some OL and bore them into flexible rotation as well. We need to build strength around the QB and giving snap time during rotations. Guaranteeing a placement in the case of an injured player.
