2024 NFL Draft order: Final two slots to be determined after Chiefs, 49ers punch tickets to Super Bowl

49ers #49ers

The 2024 NFL Draft is still three months away and for fans of teams that won’t be participating in the postseason, April can’t get here soon enough.

Here is the current draft order through the divisional round of the playoffs, according to Tankathon.

Note: Team needs are built out based on the projected free agents and are not necessarily a reflection of the current situation. Some team needs are more for depth rather than an immediate starter.
