2024 NFL draft first-round order: New England Patriots in contention for top pick
View Date:2024-12-23 17:02:30
A two-decade run of excellence has meant that the New England Patriots annually select in the bottom half of the first round of the NFL draft.
Times have definitely changed. The Patriots are in position to obtain the team's first top-five draft pick since 1994, when the team selected USC linebacker Willie McGinest at No. 4 overall. The Patriots are in the running for No. 1 overall pick, which the team hasn't had since 1993, when it picked Washington State quarterback Drew Bledsoe.
This once-proud franchise has fallen on hard times, with Sunday's forgettable, low-scoring defeat against the New York Giants as the latest proof that the glory days of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick and routine Super Bowl runs are long over.
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.
