This may have been answered, may be a dumb question, and if it is please move it to its rightful spot.

however, I know The tiebreaker is strength of schedule for draft picks.

but is it which team has the stronger strength of schedule or weaker strength of schedule that picks in the higher spot?
 
This is how I understand it works.

If two teams have the same record, the team with the weaker SOS picks first. If both teams have the same SOS, a coin is flipped.

not sure about the coin flip thing but your first part is right. I would think you could have better than a coin flip solution after just one tiebreaker
 
Look at it this way, if two teams tie for first and one team plays the tougher schedule they win the tie breaker and get the first seed and the team with the easier schedule gets the 2nd seed. The same thing works at the bottom, the team with the tougher schedule wins the tie breaker and is placed on top of the other team in the standings. What throws people off is the term "winning the tie breaker" In this case winning te tie breaker means finishing higher in the standings and getting a worse draft selection.
 
Total travesty that the Giants beat us handily head to head yet have and easier SOS and therefore woud pick ahead of the Dolphins if both teams finished with the same record. Total joke!!!!!
