Bears could land another top-10 overall pick

2024 NFL Draft order: Bears could land another top-10 overall pick originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago

The Chicago Bears secured the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft by way of the Carolina Panthers, who clinched the league’s worst record with a loss and Arizona Cardinals win in Week 17. With so many teams bunched together around six and eight wins, we won’t know where the Bears’ own pick will land in the draft order until the dust settles in Week 18.

This marks back-to-back years in which the Bears own the first overall pick. The NFL draft order is set by “the reverse order of finish in the previous season.” For playoff teams, draft order is determined by the results of the postseason, meaning the Super Bowl champion picks last. The league uses tiebreakers to separate teams who finished the season with the same record.

Here’s a look at the current order for the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. An asterisk indicates teams that would make the playoffs if the season ended today.
