2008 Draft Lottery and Order: Halftime of Superbowl
XLII
Sunday, February 3, 2008
The 2008 draft order will be determined via a lottery
system. The 8 teams that failed to qualify for the playoffs in 2007 will
each have an opportunity to secure one of the top three draft picks in the 2008
draft. Each team will be awarded lottery entries as follows:

Each entry will consist of a ball with an owner’s name
affixed to it. All 92 balls will be placed into the Draft Order software
program (http://www.draftorder.com/)
and a non-involved owner (one who qualified for the playoffs) or other third
party will select three balls electronically – one for the first, second and
third overall picks. The fourth pick will be awarded to the
non-lottery-winning owner with the worst record. The remaining order will
be determined by the traditional method, by reversing the previous year’s final
standings. As has been the case in prior years, the previous year’s
champion selects twelfth and the runner-up selects eleventh.
*Chris T had the same
record as Chris S in 2007; per the constitution and for the purpose of
determining lottery and/or draft order, the owner with the fewer total number
of points in the previous season (Chris T) was given priority.
