Current NFL draft order: Jags hold No. 1 pick; Browns, Giants, Raiders on heels

If the 2024 season ended today, the Jacksonville Jaguars would hold the No. 1 overall pick for the third time in five years.

Jacksonville enters its bye week at 2-9 with a tiebreaker edge over the Cleveland Browns (2-8).

Cleveland is No. 2 in the current draft order by a slim margin over a pack of teams with the same record: the New York Giants, Las Vegas Raiders and Tennessee Titans.

New England (3-8) and the New York Jets (3-8) are slotted sixth and seventh in front of the Carolina Panthers (3-7), Dallas Cowboys (3-7) and Cincinnati Bengals (4-7) in the top 10.

The Titans and Jaguars play each other twice, including Week 17, and the Jets are at Jacksonville on Dec. 15, one week before Raiders-Jaguars in Las Vegas.

All 32 teams play 17 regular-season games, meaning the 2024 season is more than 50 percent complete for every club but all teams have at least six games remaining on the schedule.

The Jaguars selected No. 1 in 2020, drafted Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence, and again in 2021. Jacksonville’s surprise pick was defensive end Travon Walker in a decision that came down to two pass rushers. They passed on Michigan defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, who went No. 2 to the Lions.

The Giants picked in the top six — LSU wide receiver Malik Nabers was picked No. 6 — in 2024 for the third time since drafting offensive tackle Andrew Thomas fourth in 2020. Oregon defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux (fifth, 2022) and offensive lineman Evan Neal (seventh, 2022) are New York’s other recent top-10 selections.
