And then there were two.
Sunday’s conference title games sent two teams to the Super Bowl, and also locked up two more slots in the first-round order for the 2023 NFL draft.
The San Francisco 49ers don’t have a first-round pick this year, but their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday locks in that pick for the Denver Broncos . . . unless that pick gets dealt for the third time (Sean Payton, perhaps?).
Here’s an updated look at the first-round order for this year’s draft:
*NOTE: The Miami Dolphins forfeited their first-round pick in next year’s draft as a result of the NFL’s investigation into tampering violations.
