Thanks to Sunday's B-squad win in Philadelphia, the Cowboys will own the ninth pick in the 2011 NFL draft. If they had lost, they would have picked sixth. Things could have been worse for their first pick, as seven teams tied with a 6-10 record. Due to their strength of schedule, Dallas will fall third of the seven. The Redskins, who also finished 6-10, will pick tenth, thanks to a slightly more difficult schedule (.516 winning percentage, versus .512).
The Carolina Panthers will pick first in what many have dubbed the 'Andrew Luck sweepstakes.' The Broncos, Bills, Bengals and Cardinals will round out the top five.
