Still in the playoffs, the Houston Texans will have one of the lower picks in the NFL draft, based on their playoff positioning.

Until the playoffs are completed, we won't know when exactly the Houston Texans will be making their first pick in the 2013 NFL Draft. In the playoff picture, they'll pick somewhere between picks No. 21 and No. 32, depending how their playoff run goes.

The Kansas City Chiefs earned the No. 1 pick in the draft thanks to a terrible 2-14 season, with the Jacksonville Jaguars tied with the same record. Jacksonville will get the No. 2 pick thanks to strength of schedule favoring Kansas City.

The other AFC South team, the Tennessee Titans, will join the Jaguars in the top 10 with the No. 10 pick. The Titans were one of a group of teams that finished with 6-10 records.

Here is the full draft order as it currently stands, provided by SB Nation. Remember, the top 20 picks are set in stone barring any trades, while the picks following that will be decided by playoff performance:

1. Kansas City Chiefs (2-14) .516 SOS
