NFL Draft 2024: Round 1 Order of Picks

The 2024 NFL Draft is one week from today, and with so many new football fans out there (thanks to Taylor Swift!) – we’re bringing you the draft order.

For Swifties who might be newly interested in the NFL draft, we’ll explain the process a little bit!

The draft order is determined by wins vs. losses throughout the season. So, technically, the teams with the worst record tend to have the “best” picks in each round. While this should be largely true, due to trades, pick exchanges, and more, sometimes the order is completely shuffled around.

This year’s number one pick would have belonged to the Carolina Panthers. However, a 2023 trade the Panthers made with the Chicago Bears caused them to have no first round pick this year. The Bears now have two first round picks, in addition to the very first pick in the draft.

Since the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl, they have the last pick in the first round.

The first round of the NFL draft will air on Thursday (April 25). As of the time of this posting, the draft order is accurate, but there could be trades coming soon that will impact the order!
