Even after a win on Sunday, the Denver Broncos are still on pace to secure a top-five pick in the 2024 NFL draft.
If the season ended today, the 1-3 Broncos would be set to pick fourth overall in April’s draft. The 0-4 Chicago Bears are now the favorites to land the No. 1 overall pick after losing to Denver in Week 4.
The only other winless team remaining is the Carolina Panthers, and their first-round pick belongs to the Bears via the Bryce Young trade. Chicago now has a realistic chance to land the top two draft picks.
Here’s a look at the current order of the top ten picks in 2024, courtesy of Tankathon.com:
1. Chicago Bears (0-4)
2. Chicago Bears (via Panthers, 0-4)
3. Las Vegas Raiders (1-3)
4. Denver Broncos (1-3)
5. Minnesota Vikings (1-3)
6. New York Jets (1-3)
7. New England Patriots (1-3)
8. Cincinnati Bengals (1-3)
9. Arizona Cardinals (1-3)
10. New York Giants (1-3)
