The Buffalo Bills will draft eighth in the 2013 NFL draft.
The complete order through 20 picks won't be finalized until after the Sunday night game between the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins. Playoff teams are slotted Nos. 21 through 32 based on when they're knocked out of the tournament.
But here are the top dozen:
- 1. Kansas City Chiefs
- 2. Jacksonville Jaguars
- 3. Oakland Raiders
- 4. Philadelphia Eagles
- 5. Detroit Lions
- 6. Cleveland Browns
- 7. Arizona Cardinals
- 8. Buffalo Bills
- 9. New York Jets
- 10. Tennessee Titans
- 11. San Diego Chargers
- 12. Miami Dolphins
You'll notice something about the teams listed.
All six of the teams the Bills defeated this season are among the NFL's 12 worst.
The Bills have drafted eighth four times, most recently safety Donte Whitner in 2006. They also took linebacker Shane Conlan in 1987, running back Mike Dennis in the 1966 AFL draft and tackle Jim Davidson in the 1965 AFL draft.
The eighth overall picks since Whitner have been defensive end Jamaal Anderson, defensive end Derrick Harvey, tackle Eugene Monroe, linebacker Rolando McClain, quarterback Jake Locker and quarterback Ryan Tannehill.
