What determines NFL draft order?
Picks 1 through 18 are decided by the previous season’s record, with the strength of the schedule serving as the first tiebreaker. The outcome of postseason play determines the order for playoff teams (19-31).
The Cleveland Browns will not receive any first-round picks as they surrendered theirs to the Houston Texans in exchange for quarterback Deshaun Watson.
FuboTV, NFL Network, ESPN, and ABC are the available viewing options for fans interested in watching the NFL Draft.
