With one week to go in the 2023 NFL regular season, here is the current draft order
The order for the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft is coming into focus.
Now that Week 17 is finished, we can officially say that the Chicago Bears are on the clock.
Thanks to the Carolina Panthers’ loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars — and of course the draft between the Panthers and the Bears ahead of the 2023 NFL Draft that allowed Carolina to draft Bryce Young — the Panthers are now guaranteed to have the worst record in the NFL.
Meaning the Bears are guaranteed to have the first-overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft at their disposal. Will they go quarterback, with options such as Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, and Jayden Daniels? Will they go with Marvin Harrison Jr., to give Justin Fields another weapon? Chicago could also draft an offensive lineman at that spot, or they could trade out entirely and add even more draft capital.
Here is how the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft currently looks, with the Bears locked into the top spot. Note: The current playoff teams are slotted in based on their conference standings.
