#1 Overall/Top 3 Picks In 2024 NFL Draft Order TRACKER 🏈#️⃣1️⃣

[jjgold]

NFL so hard to be a game changer even a qb rarely happens as far as draft picks 1st few years

 

[theriver55]

I never thought we would see Washington picking 2nd

Patriots, Giants, and Cardinals really hurt themselves winning 1-2 meaningless games

As a Tampa Bay fan, I'm hoping we lose @ Carolina and don't win the division. We can move up the board 10 spots

I see no sense in hurting your future just to get your azz kicked in the 1st round of the playoffs

yeah Wager see your point ON TB but doubt they lose to CAR next week. and the way Philly is going you may beat them at home.

Chicago has #1 pick overall locked up

As Kornacki explains, the Commanders' opponents have a total record this year of 140-132. The Patriots' opposition have compiled a combined record of 141-131. So certain other results in Week 18 could ultimately dictate who ends up with the top pick, if it swings the strength of schedule one way or another.

For Washington to maintain its place in the draft order, it has to have the record of New England's opponents be better than its own. That way, the strength of schedule tiebreaker works in its favor for the No. 2 pick.

How Patriots can clinch No. 2 pick​

What was stated above basically also applies to the Patriots. New England can land the No. 2 pick with a loss to New York and a Washington win over Dallas. As long as the Patriots lose, the result of the Cardinals game does not matter.

However, if both the Pats and Commanders wind up at 4-13, then the strength of schedule tiebreaker comes into play. New England would need its record of previous opponents to be worse than Washington's, otherwise it will not get the second overall pick.

If somehow the opponent's records are identical at the conclusion of the regular season, then the next step in the tie-breaking procedures is head-to-head, which works in Belichick and Co.'s favor. The Commanders defeated the Patriots earlier this year 20-17, giving New England the edge in that tie-breaking scenario and the rights to the No. 2 pick in the draft.

How Cardinals can clinch No. 2 pick​

For Arizona, it is a heck of a lot simpler than the cases for New England and Washington.

It's simple — the Cardinals need to lose, and the Patriots and Commander both must win or tie in Week 18. The only way for the organization to get the second overall pick is to be the only team holding a record of 4-13.

Arizona's strength of schedule is far stronger than either of the other two clubs, so if there is a scenario where the Cardinals have the same record as either or both teams for the No. 2 draft pick, then the tie-breaking edge goes to either the Commanders or Pats.

Chicago has locked up the #1 overall pick

Who will get No. 2 pick in 2024 NFL Draft?​

How Commanders can clinch No. 2 pick​

Washington currently sits as with the second overall pick in the draft. In order for the Commanders to secure that spot, they might need some outside help.

Th easiest way for Washington to stay in that No. 2 spot is to lose in Week 18, and have New England lose as well. As long as the Commanders pick up a 13th loss, they own the tiebreaker over the Cardinals, so no matter the result of Arizona's game against Seattle, that won't be an issue if Washington loses to Dallas.

The problem is if the Patriots also lose in Week 18, leaving both the Commanders and Pats at 4-13. Or, if all three teams win, that puts the race for the No. 2 pick in a three-way tie with Arizona, Washington and New England all at 5-12. That's when tiebreakers come into play.

Steve Kornacki recently broke down the tie-breaking scenarios on NFL Network. The No. 1 tiebreaker when it comes to the draft is not head-to-head records, but actually strength of schedule. When it comes to New England and Washington, it quite literally may come down to a single game.

As Kornacki explains, the Commanders' opponents have a total record this year of 140-132. The Patriots' opposition have compiled a combined record of 141-131. So certain other results in Week 18 could ultimately dictate who ends up with the top pick, if it swings the strength of schedule one way or another.

Now the fun begins

Will Chicago stick with Justin Fields, take Marvin Harrison jr first overall, or rape one of the teams teams below them like they did Carolina last year by trading away the 1st pick & the opportunity to draft Caleb Williams

 

[jjgold]

Bears will trade Fields

 

[Wagerallsports]

Bears will trade Fields

They probably should

Some team would offer up their first round pick in this year or next year's draft for him

 

[fiftycint]

OF course the Giants and Jets screw themselves by winning late.Never fails

 

[Wagerallsports]

OF course the Giants and Jets screw themselves by winning late.Never fails

Tampa used to do this every year when they were picking high

1 meaningless win vsm drop you 5-10 spots

Very frustrating for fans

 

[Wagerallsports]

Reports that Caleb Williams doesn't want the Chicago Bears to draft him

Screw that kid for trying to dictate how the draft goes and who picks who

 

[Wagerallsports]

Bears will trade Fields

I believe they will try JJ

But I don't see them taking less than a 1st rounder for him

If they don't get the offer they are seeking they may just stick with Fields and trade the 1st pick to Washington or New England

 

[theriver55]

I doubt Wager CHI gets a 1st rounder for Fields. Just can't see it. Maybe a 2nd and a 3rd

Caleb Williams at one point was one of the most highly touted prospects in awhile. They could definitely get two number ones and probably a number two. Someone would take the plunge

I’d be surprised if Bears traded it though

I misread your post. That’s who I responded the way I did above. I also doubt anyone would give a number one for Fields but you never know.

 

[Stallion]

I think the Bears could get a 2nd and a 5th for Fields, if they try to trade him. With the #1 pick, it's Marvin Harrison Jr, Drake Maye or a trade back.

 

[Wagerallsports]

I agree guys they probably wouldn't get first rounder unless it was at the very bottom of the round

Jay you are right some team will offer a fortune for that 1st pick and Caleb Williams just like Carolina did last year

Chicago is in great position yet again
