Here’s what the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft looks like after Week 16. 

There are just two weeks left in the 2016 NFL regular season. Several teams have already been eliminated from the playoffs while others are still fighting for a spot. While the final 12 spots of the NFL Draft will be determined by the playoffs, the first 20 spots are locked.

It appears the Cleveland Browns will have two top 10 picks. Not only will they have their own, which will most likely be the first overall pick, but they have the Philadelphia Eagles’ first round pick as well. After Week 16, the Eagles have the eighth overall pick. Sure, the Browns still have to nail the picks, but this looks like an excellent chance to jumpstart their rebuild.

Thanks to the Jared Goff trade, the Tennessee Titans will be guaranteed a high draft pick. Right now, it’s the fourth overall pick. Considering they just fired Jeff Fisher, it could get even higher, though they’ll need the Chicago Bears to win a game for that to happen.

  1. Cleveland Browns (0-14)
  2. San Francisco 49ers (1-13)
  3. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-12)
  4. Chicago Bears (3-11)
  5. Tennessee Titans (via Rams) (4-10)
  6. New York Jets (4-10)
  7. San Diego Chargers (5-9)
  8. Browns (via Eagles) (5-9)
  9. Arizona Cardinals (5-8-1)
  10. Cincinnati Bengals (5-8-1)
  11. Carolina Panthers (6-8)
  12. New Orleans Saints (6-8)
  13. Buffalo Bills (7-7)
  14. Indianapolis Colts (7-7)
  15. Eagles (via Vikings) (7-7)
  16. Washington Redskins (7-6-1)
  17. Tennessee Titans (8-6)
  18. Baltimore Ravens (8-6)
  19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-6)
  20. Denver Broncos (8-6)

The top 10 spots are all but locked in. Those teams aren’t going to make the playoffs no matter what. However, the lower spots, especially most of the ones from 14-20, are still up in the air. For example, the Ravens can make the playoffs if they win out. Also, the AFC South has yet to be decided. Both the Colts and Titans have a great chance of making the playoffs while the Houston Texans could miss it.
