There are only three weeks left in the 2023 NFL season and a number of teams are officially looking forward to April as opposed to January.
Six teams have been mathematically from the playoffs and several more are likely to be eliminated by the end of this weekend. Those teams now have to prep for the offseason and the 2024 NFL Draft.
While the order for the first 18 picks won’t be determined until the end of the season and the complete first round won’t be decided until after the Super Bowl, we can take a look at where things stand right now.
Here are the top 10 picks in the 2024 NFL Draft if the NFL season ended today:
- Chicago Bears (via Carolina Panthers)
- New England Patriots
- Arizona Cardinals
- Washington Commanders
- Chicago Bears
- New York Giants
- New York Jets
- Los Angeles Chargers
- Tennessee Titans
- Atlanta Falcons

The top prize in the 2024 NFL Draft is USC quarterback Caleb Williams, who projects to be the next great NFL talent. Other elite talents in the draft include North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye, Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels.
Many of the teams in those top 10 picks could certainly do with getting an elite quarterback prospect or a star wide receiver.
What do you think will be the final order for top 10 picks?
