With two games to go this season, the Jaguars are still mathematically in the running to pick anywhere between 2-12 in the 2012 NFL Draft. They were helped greatly by a nearly perfect Sunday that saw all but one of the four 4-9 teams win and push the Jaguars further down the pick order. The Jaguars are most likely to pick between 4-6, but that is still largely dependent on the results of the last two weeks of the season.
The tiebreaker for teams that finish the season with the same record is strength of schedule with the weaker schedules picking ahead of the teams with stronger schedules. With that, here is the top 12 team draft order with the strength of schedule tiebreakers as of right now:
