As week 18 of the NFL season comes to a close, millions of football fans eagerly anticipate what next year may bring for their favorite team – especially if they didn't make the playoffs.
While the draft order for playoff teams is determined by the results of the postseason, these 18 organizations already know where they will be drafting on Thursday, April 27, 2023 – barring trade.
