Pretty good position to be in

The final game of the evening in the National Football League won’t have any effect on the currently-slotted picks in the 2024 NFL Draft, so we can go ahead and bring this to you now.

With all but one game officially in the books for this season, we can now tell you that the Minnesota Vikings are slotted to pick at #11 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Here is the complete list of the first 18 picks, which have already been determined among the teams that have not made the playoffs. When two teams have the same record, strength of schedule is the first tiebreaker, with the higher pick going to the team with the lower SoS number.

  1. Chicago Bears (via Carolina Panthers, 2-15, .523)
  2. Washington Commanders (4-13, .512)
  3. New England Patriots (4-13, .523)
  4. Arizona Cardinals (4-13, .561)
  5. Los Angeles Chargers (5-12, .520)
  6. New York Giants (6-11, .512)
  7. Tennessee Titans (6-11, .524)
  8. Atlanta Falcons (7-10, .429)
  9. Chicago Bears (7-10, .464)
  10. New York Jets (7-10, .502)
  11. Minnesota Vikings (7-10, .509)
  12. Denver Broncos (8-9, .488)
  13. Las Vegas Raiders (8-9, .488)
  14. New Orleans Saints (9-8, .433)
  15. Indianapolis Colts (9-8, .491)
  16. Seattle Seahawks (9-8, .512)
  17. Jacksonville Jaguars (9-8, .531)
  18. Cincinnati Bengals (9-8, .573)

The Vikings had the 12th overall pick a couple of years ago but traded out of it to select at #32 in the first round. The last time the Vikings actually made a pick at anywhere near this level was in 2014 and 2015, when they picked 8th (Anthony Barr after a trade down to #9) and 11th (Trae Waynes) in back-to-back seasons.

And for those of you who want the Vikings to take a quarterback with their first-round pick, the last time the Vikings took a quarterback at #11 it turned out okay.

There will be plenty of time to speculate what’s going to happen with this year’s NFL Draft, but we now know the order of things, or at least in the top part of the first round.
