The Bills are currently 12th in the draft order and based on the final week results could pick as high as 9th or as low as 16th. The tie-breaker for draft order between teams with the same record is SOS. Head to head or anything else doesn't matter. Here is the current order:
1. Browns
2. 49ers
3. Bears
4. Jaguars
5. Rams
6. Jets
7. Chargers
8. Bengals
9. Panthers (6-9, @ Bucs)
10. Eagles (6-9, vs Cowboys)
11. Arizona (6-8-1, @ Rams)
12. Bills (7-8, @ Jets)
13. Saints (7-8, @ Falcons)
14. Colts (7-8, vs Jags)
15. Vikings (7-8, vs Bears)
16. Titans (8-7, vs Texans)
17. Bucs (8-7, vs Panthers)
18. Ravens (8-7, @ Bengals)
19. Broncos (8-7, vs Raiders)
I'm pretty sure that the Bills will still have a weaker SOS than the Broncos, Ravens, and Bucs if they all finish 8-8, which is why I say the lowest they can pick is 16th, but I'm not 100% certain. At least not with the Bucs. I don't think there's any way the Bills SOS can better than the Broncos or Ravens.
I don't think the Bills will lose to the Jets, so I don't see them moving up at all in the draft, but I expect the Colts and Vikings to both win. My guess is they end up picking 13th.
