The 2020 NFL Draft order was shaken up considerably by some crazy week 16 action, including a bizarre overtime game between the Bengals and Dolphins

The Cincinnati Bengals are officially on the clock for the 2020 NFL Draft.

The Bengals secured their 14th loss of the season on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins in a really entertaining game that took all of five periods to complete.

Cincinnati engineered a miraculous comeback by recovering an onside kick, completing a pass as time expired for a touchdown, and then getting the two-point conversion. They were unable to keep that momentum going into the overtime period and the Dolphins managed to kick a field goal as time expired, pushing themselves down the 2020 NFL Draft order and solidifying the Bengals at the top.

Behind Cincinnati, we have some intrigue. The Washington Redskins will have the second overall pick barring a victory this coming weekend against the Dallas Cowboys, who are desperate for a win.

The New York Giants have won two games in a row and as a result, they have lost some ground as well, now slated to pick behind the Detroit Lions, who have lost eight straight games.

Let’s take a look at the updated 2020 NFL Draft order with teams moving around in the top 10 of the order listed in bold.

Right now, there is still a chance for some big shakeup in the final week of the regular season. The Redskins are not guaranteed the second overall pick at this point with three other teams at 11 losses.

Of the teams currently picking in the top 10 of the 2020 NFL Draft, only the Arizona Cardinals (Kyler Murray) and Los Angeles Chargers (Philip Rivers) have had the same quarterback for the entire 2019 season.
