2016 NFL Draft order and needsBy Lance Zierlein NFL.comPublished: Dec. 1, 2015 at 01:00amThis is the first-round order for the 2016 NFL Draft, with the top positional needs for every team. The draft order is determined by record, using strength of schedule, and then conference and division records as tiebreakers (record and strength of schedule are official tiebreakers to determine draft order). The final 12 first-round spots (or, 11, if the New England Patriots make the postseason) will be determined by playoff results. For now, those teams will be ordered based on playoff seed if the season ended today.14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2015 record: 5-6 (.463) Top need: Cornerback Other needs: Defensive end, offensive tackle, guard Senior prospects at positional needs: CB: Maurice Canady (Virginia), Danzel McDaniel (Kansas State), Will Redmond (Mississippi State); DE: DeForest Buckner (Oregon), Shilique Calhoun (Michigan State), Shawn Oakman (Baylor); OT: Vadal Alexander (LSU), Taylor Decker (Ohio State), Spencer Drango (Baylor); Guard: Landon Turner (North Carolina), Joshua Garnett (Stanford).
