2020 NFL Draft order update: Only four playoff teams remain
The 2020 NFL Draft order is quickly coming into focus with all but four teams’ Super Bowl hopes for this season dashed. Where is your team picking?
The chase for the Super Bowl is down to just four teams, which means the top 28 picks in the 2020 NFL Draft are set in stone.
If you’re a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs, Tennessee Titans, San Francisco 49ers, or Green Bay Packers, you don’t need to worry about the 2020 NFL Draft order yet, which is a great feeling.
If you’re a fan of the Baltimore Ravens, Minnesota Vikings, Houston Texans, or Seattle Seahawks, you’re probably wishing you could ‘simulate’ to next year’s playoffs and watch your team get another shot at it after disappointing losses over the weekend.
For 28 teams, the primary focus right now is the 2020 NFL Draft. Where is your team slotted right now? Let’s take a look at the updated 2020 NFL Draft order.

Interestingly enough, three of the four traded first-round picks ended up being all in a row, and all of those teams narrowly missed out on making the 2019 playoffs.
The biggest surprise from the divisional round of the playoffs was obviously the Tennessee Titans beating the Baltimore Ravens in Baltimore. There were not many people who saw that coming who weren’t just taking a shot in the dark or believing the Ravens had peaked at the wrong time, which turned out to be the case.
As impressive as the Titans have been with road wins against the defending champion Patriots and top-seeded Ravens, a victory in Arrowhead will undoubtedly be the most impressive feat they could accomplish.
The Titans have already beaten the Chiefs once this year, and right now even a 24-point first-quarter lead isn’t enough to derail the Chiefs’ hopes with Patrick Mahomes dialed in at the QB position and seemingly everyone on that team capable of scoring three touchdowns at a moment’s notice.
The other big surprise team this year has been the Green Bay Packers, whose approach in free agency went against what they usually do as a franchise and with a first-year head coach, Green Bay is on the cusp of a Super Bowl berth for the first time in nine years.
