Thanks for clearing that up for me. I can kinda see why that is but I always thought in past offseasons that head to head was the #1 tiebreaker for some reason.
I was consulting the draft pick value chart and the 4th pick is worth 1800 points. That's pretty good value because if the right team came along we could possibly get 2 first rounders out of that deal. According to the chart, the first pick is 3000 points, 2nd is 2600, 3rd is 2200, and 4th is 1800, whereas the fifth is only 1700, which means the difference between the 4th and the 5th would be the 4th pick of the fourth round, which is 100 points.
Also if we were interested in trading players along with draft picks there's infinite possibilities. Lets say for make believe purposes the Seahawks want Campbell as their qb, and Shanny decides he wants Bradford. Well, according to the picks the Seahawks have, which are the 6th (1600 points) and the 16th assuming that's what the Broncos pick is (1000 points), they could trade us both of those for the 4th pick and Campbell, assuming they value him as worthy of 800 points of draft value. So my only point out of all this is that we could have some serious trade bait in the instance we decide to go that route. Should be an interesting offseason this year.
Just in case anybody else wants to explore possible draft pick trade scenarios and formulate their own theories about possible trades, here's the draft pick value chart. I could go further in depth with this but I think it's illogical considering how much trading of draft picks goes on before and during the draft. Anything could happen with any of the picks, and I've seen crazier stuff happen to believe that anything's possible. At least if we decide to trade down not only will we have pretty decent ammunition draft picks wise, but we might also try to get rid of some players as well.
