How the order is set

The 18 clubs that miss the playoffs pick first, worst record first; the 14 that make them follow in the order they go out, the Super Bowl winner last. Clubs with the same record are split by strength of schedule: the easier schedule picks first. SOS here is every opponent’s combined win percentage today, a club met twice counted twice — the strength of schedule the league reads. Clubs still level after that are split by division and conference records and then a coin toss; here they stand alphabetically. Rounds two to seven repeat the order before compensatory picks are added.
