Projected 2018 NFL Draft Order: Week 16

This is the Projected 2018 NFL Draft Order for Week 16 of the season.

The NFL Season is drawing to a close which brings us that much closer to figuring out a large majority of the 2018 NFL Draft Order. This weeks projection is different from the earlier ones in that it’s a true projection.

Basically, I simulated the final two weeks of the season and projected out a playoff scenario. This produced some interesting results. The biggest development was the Cleveland Browns landing two picks inside the top-5.

More from With the First Pick

With John Dorsey now running the front office, the Browns have a chance to dramatically speed up their rebuild. It’s important to factor in that they also have three picks in the 2nd round. They could potentially add as many as 5 starters between the first 2 rounds.

1. Cleveland Browns

2. New York Giants

3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Playoff Teams

The playoff picture produces some fun matchups, but ended up with the New England Patriots bringing home the Lombardi Trophy. My projection had the Philadelphia Eagles getting knocked off after their bye week.

Losing Carson Wentz is just too much for this team to overcome. It also doesn’t help that the rest of the teams in the NFC are very talented.

21. Los Angeles Chargers

22. Baltimore Ravens

23. Atlanta Falcons

24. Carolina Panthers

25. Buffalo Bills (via KC)

26. Jacksonville Jaguars

27. Los Angeles Rams

28. Philadelphia Eagles

29. New Orleans Saints

30. Pittsburgh Steelers

31. Minnesota Vikings

32. New England Patriots
