The Previous NFL Draft Order
The NFL Draft order is the order in which NFL teams select collegiate players. It is determined by a combination of factors, including record, strength of schedule, conference standings, transactions (such as trades), and a coin toss (in the case of identical records). The final draft order is announced at the end of the regular season.
The 16th Pick in the NFL Draft
The 16th pick in the NFL draft is held by the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers have had some success with late first-round picks in recent years, including linebacker Luke Kuechly and defensive end Julius Peppers.
The Current 16th Pick in the NFL Draft
As of right now, the 16th pick in the NFL draft belongs to the Baltimore Ravens. This could obviously change depending on how the rest of the season plays out, but as of right now, they are slated to have that pick.
The 16th pick is a bit of a wild card in the draft. It’s not high enough to where you can guarantee that you’re going to get a franchise player, but it’s also not low enough where you’re likely to get a bust. In recent years, there have been some very good players taken with the 16th pick (Khalil Mack and Brandon Scherff come to mind), but there have also been some very big busts (Justin Gilbert and Trent Richardson).
So if you’re a fan of a team that is currently slotted to have the 16th pick in the draft, don’t get too excited just yet. There’s a good chance that whoever your team takes will be a solid player, but there’s also a decent chance that they’ll be a complete bust. It’s just the nature of the NFL draft.
The Previous 16th Pick in the NFL Draft
In 2017, the Carolina Panthers selected Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey with the 16th pick in the NFL Draft.

In 2015, the San Francisco 49ers selected South Carolina cornerback Jasper Brinkley with the 16th pick in the NFL Draft.
Conclusion
The 16th pick in the NFL Draft belongs to the Detroit Lions.
