This time it's locked. The Panthers' loss to the Jaguars gave them the worst record in the NFL for the 2023 season. But with Carolina sending its first-round pick to Chicago to get Bryce Young, it's the Bears who will be the first to pick at 25 next April. As it stands, they will even have two picks in the top ten.
Behind, things can still change since three teams have the same record. They are the Commanders, Patriots and Cardinals. We still find a trio behind them with Giants, Chargers and Titans.
Here's what the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft would be if the season ended today, via Tankathon.
