2024 NFL Draft Order: Updated Selection List After Divisional Round

It's not what they want to hear, but it's officially time for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Buffalo Bills to focus on the NFL draft.

Tampa Bay and Buffalo saw their seasons come to an end with Sunday's Divisional Round losses to the Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs, respectively. They both need a couple more pieces to achieve their Super Bowl dreams, and the draft will offer an opportunity to add some of those players.

With that in mind, here is a look at the updated draft order following Sunday's playoff results:

1. Chicago Bears (from Carolina Panthers)
2. Washington Commanders
3. New England Patriots
4. Arizona Cardinals
5. Los Angeles Chargers
6. New York Giants
7. Tennessee Titans
8. Atlanta Falcons
9. Chicago Bears
10. New York Jets
11. Minnesota Vikings
12. Denver Broncos

While much of the pre-draft focus will be on the top picks with the Chicago Bears deciding whether they want to select Caleb Williams or continue to build around Justin Fields and teams like the Washington Commanders and New England Patriots looking for franchise signal-callers, the playoff teams will be looking for impact players near the end of the first round.

And there should be plenty available.

The more quarterbacks go early, the more game-changing players will be available for the postseason teams near the end of the first round.

Williams, North Carolina's Drake Maye and LSU's Jayden Daniels could be the top three picks, but perhaps Washington's Michael Penix Jr., Oregon's Bo Nix and Michigan's J.J. McCarthy can play their way into the first round as well. That would be welcome news for teams that are already set at the position and hoping to secure elite talent.

Someone like Penn State's Chop Robinson could join a playoff-caliber defensive line and take advantage of one-man blocking with his explosiveness around the edge.

B/R's NFL Scouting Department projected him to go to the Buccaneers in its most recent mock draft, which would be a worrisome development for the rest of the NFC South. Vita Vea can occupy double teams in the middle and open up blitzing lanes for the rookie.

Iowa's Cooper DeJean is another Big Ten defender who could step right into a defense as a starter from Day 1.

The defensive back is a ballhawk in coverage who can also be an elite punt returner. He returned a punt for a touchdown this past season and could transform a team's secondary and special teams play during his rookie campaign.

Offensively, perhaps someone like Oregon's Troy Franklin can bolster a team's wide receiver group.

Ohio State's Marvin Harrison Jr., LSU's Malik Nabers, Washington's Rome Odunze and Florida State's Keon Coleman are the headliners in a loaded wide receiver group, but Franklin is someone who could go near the end of the first round.

He brings game-changing speed to the table and could be a deep-ball threat throughout his rookie campaign.

Perhaps some of those deep balls will even be in the playoffs.
