NFL 選秀命令：揭曉球隊選擇的複雜公式

NFL 選秀順序由球隊表現決定，表現最差的球隊首先選擇。季後賽球隊根據被淘汰的輪次分配選秀權，超級盃冠軍最後選擇。補償性選秀權授予那些在自由球員市場上失去球員的球隊，選秀權的價值和輪次由公式決定。選秀順序是透過決勝局決定的，例如賽程強度、交鋒記錄以及極少數情況下的拋硬幣。

The Intricate Mechanics of the NFL Draft Order

NFL 選秀順序的複雜機制

With the highly anticipated NFL Draft just weeks away, NFL teams are diligently scrutinizing the top college prospects, meticulously projecting which players will remain available when it's their turn to select. However, before the coveted athletes can don their new team jerseys, the intricate process of determining the draft order must unfold.

距離備受期待的 NFL 選秀只剩下幾週時間，NFL 球隊正在孜孜不倦地審查最優秀的大學候選人，精心預測哪些球員在輪到他們選秀時仍然可以上場。然而，在這些令人垂涎的運動員穿上新隊服之前，必須展開確定選秀順序的複雜過程。

Establishing the Initial Order

建立初始訂單

Each of the NFL's 32 teams receives one pick in each of the seven rounds of the draft. The order of these picks is meticulously crafted based on the teams' regular season records, with the team holding the worst record earning the first overall pick and the Super Bowl champions securing the final selection, barring any trades.

NFL 的 32 支球隊在七輪選秀中每一輪都會獲得一個選秀權。這些選秀權的順序是根據球隊的常規賽記錄精心設計的，戰績最差的球隊獲得第一順位，超級碗冠軍獲得最終選秀權，除非有任何交易。

Playoff Teams and Draft Position

季後賽球隊和選秀位置

The allocation of draft picks becomes nuanced when playoff teams are involved. While the first 18 picks are directly awarded based on regular season performance, picks 19 through 32 are determined by a combination of playoff elimination round and regular season record.

當涉及季後賽球隊時，選秀權的分配就會變得微妙。前18個選秀權是根據常規賽表現直接授予的，而第19到32個選秀權則由季後賽淘汰賽和常規賽戰績相結合決定。

Teams eliminated in the wild card round are assigned picks 19 to 24 based on their regular season records. Similarly, teams eliminated in the divisional round are allocated picks 25 to 28, followed by teams eliminated in subsequent rounds until the Super Bowl champion receives the 32nd pick.

在外卡輪被淘汰的球隊將根據常規賽戰績分配第 19 至 24 位選秀權。同樣，在分區賽中被淘汰的球隊將分配 25 至 28 號選秀權，隨後是在後續幾輪中被淘汰的球隊，直到超級碗冠軍獲得第 32 號選秀權。

Tiebreakers: Breaking the Deadlocks

決勝局：打破僵局

In the event of multiple teams finishing the season with identical records, a series of tiebreakers come into play to determine the draft order. The primary tiebreaker is strength of schedule, which is calculated by averaging the winning percentage of each team's opponents. The team with the weakest schedule will receive the higher draft pick.

如果多支球隊以相同的戰績結束賽季，則將進行一系列決勝局來確定選秀順序。決勝局的首要因素是賽程強度，它是透過平均每支球隊對手的勝率來計算的。賽程最弱的球隊將獲得更高的選秀權。

If teams remain deadlocked after considering strength of schedule, the tiebreaker process becomes increasingly granular. Division and conference records are then examined, followed by a rabbit hole of tiebreakers, including head-to-head records, won-lost-tied percentages against common opponents, strength of victory, and even a coin toss if necessary.

如果球隊在考慮賽程強度後仍然陷入僵局，那麼決勝局的過程就會變得越來越細化。然後檢查分區和分區記錄，然後是一系列決勝局，包括正面交鋒記錄、對共同對手的勝負平局百分比、勝利強度，甚至在必要時擲硬幣。

Compensatory Picks: Rewarding Roster Depletion

補償性選秀：獎勵名單耗盡

Once the draft order is finalized, the NFL awards compensatory picks to teams that have lost players to free agency in the preceding offseason. A maximum of 32 compensatory picks can be distributed, ranging from third to seventh round selections.

一旦選秀順序最終確定，NFL 就會向在上一個休賽期失去自由球員的球隊提供補償選秀權。最多可以分配32個補償選秀權，範圍從第三輪到第七輪。

To determine eligibility for a compensatory pick, the NFL utilizes a formula that considers a player's salary, playing time, and postseason accolades. The player's "value" is then used to offset the value of free agents acquired by the team. Teams can receive anywhere from zero to four compensatory picks to replenish their roster.

為了確定補償性選秀權的資格，NFL 採用了一個考慮球員薪資、上場時間和季後賽榮譽的公式。然後用球員的「價值」來抵銷球隊所獲得的自由球員的價值。球隊可以在任何地方獲得零到四個補償選秀權來補充他們的名單。
