Predicting the 2017 NFL Draft Order: Week 16
There are only two weeks left in the regular season which means we are close to finalizing a portion of the 2017 NFL Draft Order.
At this point in the season only a handful of teams are fighting for a playoff spot. The rest of the NFL is “trying to improve” or more realistically looking at what type of draft pick they can land. These last two weeks promise to have a major impact on where several teams are picking come draft season.
A team like the Chicago Bears find themselves in a fluid situation. They could still land the No. 3 overall pick, but they could also fall to the back half of the top-10.
The Cleveland Browns basically have the No. 1 locked up, but are closely watching the Philadelphia Eagles final games. It’s possible for them to have two picks inside the top-10 which would obviously help speed up the team’s rebuild.
