2024 NFL draft first-round order: Carolina Panthers hand Chicago Bears the No. 1 pick

Chicago Bears, you are now on the clock.
A pre-2023 NFL draft trade that shipped the top pick in last year's draft to the Carolina Panthers has paid off big time for the Bears.
With Sunday's 26-0 defeat against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Panthers clinched the league's worst record this season, which means the Bears own the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL draft.
The draft order is determined by record and uses strength of schedule as a tiebreaker (record and strength of schedule are official tiebreakers to determine the draft order).
The final 14 first-round spots will be determined by playoff results. For now, those teams will be ordered based on playoff seed, if the season ended today.
