Who Has The Number One Pick In The Nfl Draft?
Contents
It’s the time of year when NFL fans start to get really excited about the upcoming NFL Draft. We all want to know who our team is going to pick in the first round, and we all have our own opinions about who the best player in the draft is. But who really has the number one pick in the NFL Draft?
Introduction
The National Football League (NFL) draft is an annual event in which NFL teams select eligible college football players to join their ranks. The draft order is determined by a combination of factors, including the previous year’s standings, strength of schedule, and any trades that have been made. In recent years, the draft has been held in late April or early May.
The first overall pick in the NFL draft is often considered a coveted position, as it gives the team that holds it a chance to select a player who could be a star for years to come. In some cases, the player chosen with the first overall pick goes on to have a Hall of Fame-caliber career; in others, he is out of the league within a few years.
The Cleveland Browns have the Number One Pick in the NFL Draft
The Cleveland Browns have the Number One Pick in the NFL Draft. The last time they had the Number One Pick was in 2016, when they used it to select Quarterback Jared Goff.
The San Francisco 49ers have the Number Two Pick in the NFL Draft
With the regular season now over, it’s time to start looking towards the NFL draft. And at the top of the draft, there is a bit of uncertainty. The San Francisco 49ers currently have the number two pick in the draft, but they could very well end up with the number one pick. The Cincinnati Bengals currently have the first pick in the draft, but they are also winless on the season. So who will ultimately end up with the number one pick in the NFL draft?
The answer may not be as clear cut as it seems. The Bengals are currently in possession of the first overall pick, but they are also 0-16 on the season. The 49ers are currently 2-14, but they have a better chance of ending up with the first pick than the Bengals do. That’s because, if two teams finish with identical records, the team that had worse record in the previous year will get higher pick. In this case, that would be Bengals. So it’s entirely possible that even though the Bengals have worst record in NFL this year, they could still end up picking second overall because their record was better than 49ers last year. Of course, all of this is subject to change if either team were to win or lose their final game of season (the Bengals play against Ravens and 49ers play against Seahawks).
It’s also worth noting that there is a third team with a chance at getting number one pick: Raiders. They currently sit at 3-13 on season, but because they traded away their first round pick to Cowboys (as part of deal for Amari Cooper), they can’t technically take first overall spot. However, if both Bengals and 49ers lose their final games and Raiders win theirs, then Raiders would end up picking first due to strength of schedule tiebreaker. So while it’s unlikely, it’s still possible that we could see three different teams picking first, second and third overall in 2019 NFL draft.
The New York Jets have the Number Three Pick in the NFL Draft
In the National Football League (NFL), the draft order is the reverse order of finish for the previous season. For example, the team with the worst record in 2019 (the Cincinnati Bengals) will be allowed to select first in 2020. The second and third picks will go to the teams with the second- and third-worst records, and so on. In February, a draft lottery is held to determine which team will receive the first pick overall; this slot is called “thefirst overall pick”.
To be eligible for selection in an NFL Draft, a player must have been out of high school for at least three years and must have used up his eligibility at his college by either exhausting his four-year eligibility or declaring himself eligible for early entry into the draft. A player who meets these requirements but was not selected in an NFL Draft is considered an undrafted free agent (UFA).
This year, the New York Jets have the Number Three Pick in the NFL Draft.
Conclusion
Based on the current standings, the New York Jets have the number one pick in the NFL draft.
