Every Tuesday morning, we take a look at where the Vikings would pick in the 2014 NFL Draft if the season ended today.

Note: The first tiebreaker is strength of schedule where the team with the worst strength of schedule percentage wins the tiebreaker and gets a better pick. Strength of schedule is based off the win percentage of a team's opponents, so there's two ways to calculate it during the season. One would be to factor in a team's entire 16-game schedule, or the other method would be to tally the records of games already played (the method used in this blog). At the end of the year, both methods will result in the same SOS percentage.

A Tuesday after a win surely meant the Vikings would slide in the current draft projection order, but two teams in front of them also won.

The Vikings are just outside the top five at the moment with the 23-20 overtime win over the Bears. Here's how the draft order looks right now (records and strength of schedule, if necessary, in parentheses):

  1. Texans (2-10)
  2. Rams [via Redskins] (3-9) (.521)
  3. Jaguars (3-9) (.542)
  4. Falcons (3-9) (.556)
  5. Bucs (3-9) (.590)
  6. Vikings (3-8-1)

They're still not in a bad position for a possible top five pick, but again that tie against the Packers isn't helping out their situation. If the Vikings' would've lost, their strength of schedule would be adjusted from .514 to .521.

The Vikings and Redskins would have the same strength of schedule percentage. The next tiebreaker is division records, but they bypass that since they're not in the same division. The third tiebreaker is conference records, which applies in this situation because they're both in the NFC.

The Redskins sit at 1-8 against the NFC at the moment. The Vikings would go from 2-7-1 to 2-8 with the hypothetical Packers loss. So here's how the draft order would look in that situation:

  1. Texans
  2. Rams [via Redskins]
  3. Vikings
  4. Jaguars
  5. Falcons
  6. Bucs

They'd jump three spots to third at the moment, with one of those conference wins against the Redskins. With four weeks left, it'll be fun to see how this plays out.

The Rams-Redskins trade for quarterback Robert Griffin III in the 2012 NFL Draft doesn't look so bad now for St. Louis.
