Finale has huge NFL draft implications for Seahawks

"The Seahawks' regular-season finale at Arizona may not have any playoff implications, but the impact will still be felt in April when the league holds its annual draft.

The Seahawks could wind up choosing anywhere from No. 10 overall to No. 19 in the first round, depending on this week's results.

Seattle is smack dab in the middle of the league with 13 other teams whose records are either 6-9 or 7-8. The Seahawks could finish tied with any one of them.

The NFL uses strength of schedule as a tiebreaker in draft order, the team with the weakest schedule getting the better first-round pick. Strength of schedule is determined by the collective winning percentage of a given team's opponents.

Using that criteria, it's possible to determine that the absolute best first-round pick Seattle can land is No. 10 overall while the worst pick is No. 19 overall."
