2024 NFL draft first-round order: Patriots' dramatic win vs. Broncos alters order
View Date:2024-12-23 20:44:19
The Patriots pulled off a dramatic 26-23 win over the Denver Broncos on Christmas Eve, a result that likely will keep New England from securing the top pick in the 2024 NFL draft.
The Patriots entered Week 16 with one more win than the Carolina Panthers in the race for the top pick, and sitting in the No. 2 spot. However, the Patriots' win pushed Bill Belichick's team down to the fourth overall spot with two games left to play. The No. 4 spot might not be high enough for the Patriots to secure one of the top two quarterbacks in the 2024 draft class — USC's Caleb Williams or North Carolina's Drake Maye — who are projected to go 1-2 in USA TODAY Sports' latest mock draft.
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.
