2018 NFL Draft Order: Update based on Week 17 Results
By Jon Dove
The NFL regular season is over and we finally have a clear picture on the early part of the 2018 NFL Draft Order.
As some teams head into the 1st week of the NFL Playoffs, the rest of the league is pouring over the 2018 NFL Draft Order. The Cleveland Browns are glad to see this year end and are looking to move on from their winless season.
They did get some good news in that they have the No. 1 and No. 4 overall picks in the draft. Cleveland has a real chance at landing some franchise changing talent. It’ll be interesting to see if they decide to pass on another top-rated quarterback.
The draft order is pretty much set for the top-20 picks. However, there is a pending coin flip between the Oakland Raiders and San Francisco 49ers to determine their spots. The playoff teams also don’t have a set order as of yet.
