I found this on NFL.com
As for supplemental draft procedures, this is straight from the folks at NFL headquarters who would oversee such a draft: Each club’s draft position is weighted by assigning the weakest club the greatest number of lottery chances and the strongest club the fewest number. Team strength and weakness will be determined by the original order of the first round of the prior to the April draft and before any trades (i.e., the weakest club, which from the 2003 season is the San Diego Chargers, will have its name in the drawing 32 times, the next weakest 31 times, etc., until the Super Bowl winner, which would have its name in once).
There is a three-step drawing process that works in the following order:
1. Teams that won six or fewer games in the prior regular season are placed together in a container and drawn to determine the initial arrangement of places in the selection order;
2. The remaining non-playoff teams are placed together in a container and drawn to determine their places following those determined in the first drawing;
3. Playoff teams are placed together in a container and drawn to determine the remaining places in the selection order.
