draft order --- a little screwy?

[Guest]

Can this be fixed as I don't have the 4th in every round........ and everyone else is also a little off?

Thats the way it goes now. If you had the same record as someone, you swapped spots every round. If multiple teams had the same record you move up a spot each round.

Draft Order Screen

The Draft Order Screen allows you to view the order of selections for the amateur draft.

The amateur draft lasts seven rounds, with each team allowed one pick in each round. The order for the draft is determined by reversing the order of last season's standings, with the Front Office Bowl teams placed at the end of each round. Ties between teams with the same record are broken by reversing the strength of schedule. Teams that make the playoffs are placed below teams with the same record that do not make the playoffs.

Teams with the same record rotate their positions through later rounds. For instance, if Buffalo, San Diego and Tennessee all finish 7-9, the team with the lowest position in the standings would draft first in the first round, but third in the second round, second in the third round and first again in the fourth round.

An '---' in a field indicates the pick has already been made during the draft.

An 'xxx' in a field indicates that the pick was forfeited because the team violated the salary cap rule.

Commissioners of multi-player leagues may penalize a team before the draft by double-clicking on any pick. This will remove the pick from the draft.

Thanks sky --- I don't think the NFL works like that -- if it does I just never noticed it in 25 years....

It does work like that. It changed recently.
