It’s hard to believe, but we are about to enter the penultimate week of the 2023-24 NFL regular season. In just over 48 hours, we will be ringing in Week 17 with Thursday Night Football between the New York Jets vs. Cleveland Browns.
But while a new week is closing in, several teams are already out of the playoff picture and have begun to look ahead to the 2024 NFL Draft.
As we approach the end of the regular season, the Chicago Bears hold on to the No. 1 pick which they acquired after a trade with the Carolina Panthers who moved up to select Bryce Young in last year’s draft.
Rounding out the top five are the Arizona Cardinals, Washington Commanders, New England Patriots, and New York Giants.
When would your team be on the clock if the season ended today?
