NFL Final Draft Order predicted after Week 16

Each week of the NFL season we here at mocknfldrafts.blogspot.com use our predictor for the remainding matchups to predict what order the draft will be picked. Unlike most mock drafts that just use current league standings, mocknfldrafts.blogspot.com gives a more realistic picture of where teams will end up thus giving a more accurate mock draft. Lets see what the end of year standings will be as of Week 16 (note: this is updated weekly!)

1. Indianapolis (2-14, Most of the season the Colts to Luck move was automatic, now it is not 100% but still most likely thanks to Indy’s strength of schedule)

2. St. Louis (2-14, what happened? At least they will get another opportunity to upgrade)

3. Tampa Bay (4-12, a tougher schedule led to a very disappointing result, coach now on the hot seat as is QB Freeman)

4. Cleveland (4-12, this was actually expected with the musical chairs at coach the Browns do)

5. Minnesota (4-12, 2 wins in their last 2 only diminishes their draft opportunities)

6. Washington (5-11, they really need a QB)

7. Jacksonville (5-11, Jack Del Rio is gone and the rebuild starts for the Jags)

8. Miami (5-11, They didn't end up sucking for Luck but still could get a pretty good QB at #8

9. Carolina (6-10, probably better than expected, now where for the Panthers in a tough division?) 

10. Buffalo (6-10, what started so well ended in another season of mediocrity for the team now with the longest non-playoff appearance record)

11. Kansas City (6-10, Todd Haley is gone and the Chiefs start winning, positives for next season)

12. Seattle (7-9, some good play mixed with bad got them the same result as last year but no playoff berth)

13. San Diego (7-9, does this mean the end for Turner, or a move to LA, or both?)

14. Chicago (7-9, would've done better but for the fact Cutler and Forte went down, still the knives are out for Lovie and Martz)

15. Arizona (8-8, a slow start to the year but started to look really good by year’s end – a good draft could lead to more permanent results)

16. Dallas (8-8, should’ve made the playoffs, will lament a couple of bad late losses)

17. Philadelphia (8-8, a strong finish by the Dream Team keeps Andy Reid his job but he is definitely on the hot seat going into next season)

18. Tennessee (9-7, had their chances but not quite up to the task)

19. NY Jets (9-7, sexy Rexy & his green machine couldn’t do it, what does this mean for the Sanchize?)

20. Cincinnati (9-7, this one bites, after a solid start to the year they couldn't quite get to the playoffs)

21. NY Giants (9-7, despite edging into the playoffs is Coughlin on the way out?)

22. Houston (10-6, an easy schedule but no Matt Schaub means no Superbowl appearance for the luckless Texans)

23. Atlanta (10-6, Not able to contend with a very good Saints team)

24. Pittsburgh (12-4, something is wrong with the Steelers this year despite their good record, they are hit by a running Tebow in the first round and are sent packing)

25. Oakland (9-7, Injuries cruelled what should’ve been a division title but they still make the 2nd round of the playoffs in an encouraging year)

26. Denver (9-7, the Tebow era starts magnificently until they run into the eventual AFC Champions)

27. Detroit (9-7, Lions make the playoffs for the first time in a long time and look forward to even better things in 2012)

28. SF 49ers (13-3, This team were in it all year long but the Saints marched by them in the divisional round)

29 New Orleans (12-4, last year's winners vs the year before, awesome game but Packers win it)

30. New England (13-3, had a chance to go all the way but ran into a stiff Baltimore side who truly believe this is their time)

31 Baltimore (12-4, it would've been a big upset but they came close in a beauty of a Superbowl)

32 Green Bay (14-2, they win it again, ARod unstoppable)
