It’s late November, which means we’re hitting the homestretch of the NFL regular season.
While there are still plenty of teams in the hunt for a postseason berth, an increasing number of teams already have their fan bases looking ahead to next year’s draft.
The Houston Texans have a healthy lead in the race for the No. 1 overall pick, but eight three-win teams have created a logjam behind them, which means we’re sure to see plenty of movement at the top of the draft order between now and the end of the season.
Here’s what the first-round order would look like if the 2023 NFL draft took place after Week 11 action (via Tankathon):
*NOTE: The Miami Dolphins forfeited their first-round pick in next year’s draft as a result of the NFL’s investigation into tampering violations.
