2023 NFL draft order: Top 18 picks locked in

The final week of the 2022 NFL regular season was a wild one, and it gave us plenty of drama at the top of the 2023 NFL draft order.

Thanks to a dramatic comeback win by the Houston Texans, the Chicago Bears have secured the No. 1 overall pick for the first time since 1947.

Now that Week 18 is officially in the books, the top 18 spots in this year’s draft order are locked in for the time being.

Here’s the full list, including where the current playoff teams stand heading into the postseason (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.
