2010 Draft Lottery and Order: In-between AFC and NFC Championships

Sunday, January 24, 2010

The 2010 draft order will be determined via a lottery system.  The 8 teams that failed to qualify for the playoffs in 2009 will each have an opportunity to secure one of the top three draft picks in the 2010 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.
