The Green Bay Packers’ wild-card round collapse Saturday night was the Dallas Cowboys’ gain. The Cowboys own the Packers’ first-round selection this year as part of their return on the Micah Parsons trade, and Green Bay’s loss locked that pick in at No. 20. The Chargers and Eagles also now know that they’ll be picking in the top 25 after playoff losses.
The full order for picks 19-32 is decided by playoff results — teams eliminated in the wild-card round have been placed into slots 19-24; divisional-round losers will hold picks 25-28, and so on. The first tiebreaker for draft positioning is strength of schedule, with the team that’s faced an easier schedule receiving the higher pick.
Here’s how Round 1 stands after the conclusion of Sunday’s wild-card games.
