Three games is a small sample size, but the Denver Broncos are currently on pace for a top-two pick in the 2024 NFL draft.
If the season ended today, the 0-3 Broncos would be set to pick second overall in April’s draft. The 0-3 Chicago Bears would win a tiebreaker over Denver for the No. 1 overall pick due to their easier strength of schedule (.451 compared to the Broncos’ .471).
Two other teams are 0-3 — the Minnesota Vikings (.480) and Carolina Panthers (.549). Chicago will also hold the Panthers’ first-round pick via trade.
Here’s a look at the current order of the top ten picks in 2024, courtesy of Tankathon.com:
1. Chicago Bears (0-3)
2. Denver Broncos (0-3)
3. Minnesota Vikings (0-3)

7. Arizona Cardinals (via Houston Texans, 1-2)
