* Cleveland and Tampa Bay have the same records and schedule strength. A coin flip after Super Bowl XLI will determine their pick order.[1]

** The winner of the Super Bowl will drop to #32, while the loser will drop to #31; all remaining picks will move up accordingly.
(So, for example, the Chargers' pick must be #30.)
