NFL draft first-round order: Bears win, but still in line for top pick
The Chicago Bears continue to trend toward attaining the top pick in the 2024 NFL draft, thanks to the ineptitude of the Carolina Panthers.
The draft order is determined by record, and uses strength of schedule as a tiebreaker (record and strength of schedule are official tiebreakers to determine the draft order).
The final 14 first-round spots will be determined by playoff results. For now, those teams will be ordered based on playoff seed, if the season ended today.
The 2024 NFL draft is scheduled to be held in Detroit from April 25-27.
