2024 NFL Draft order: Patriots remain in position for next QB, Jets move into top 10 after loss to Dolphins

The 2024 NFL Draft is still a little over five months away, but fans of some teams (looking at you Bears, Cardinals and Patriots) are already thinking ahead to April. 

Here is the current draft order through Sunday’s action in Week 12, 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.
