The Chicago Bears continue to reap the rewards of their offseason trade with the Carolina Panthers, locking down the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft after the latter lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars and fell to a league-worst 2-14. Though, there is some change at the top of the current order, via The 33rd team's Ari Meirov, as teams gear up for the final game of the regular season.

The Arizona Cardinals, who occupied the No. 2 slot going into Sunday, tumble a bit after their monumental road upset victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. They fall to No. 4, just as the New England Patriots did last week. The Pats move back into the top three, while the New York Giants remain at No. 5 after narrowly losing to the Los Angeles Rams.

New England's current standing is arguably the most intriguing to monitor going into Week 18. There is immense uncertainty surrounding Bill Belichick's future with the franchise. If he and the Patriots are parting ways, then he has incentive to go full throttle versus the New York Jets. Surely, he wants to extend his winning streak over the Gang Green to 16, while also inching closer to Don Shula's all-time record.

The middle and bottom of the 2024 NFL Draft order is obviously extremely volatile right now with half the league jockeying for playoff position. No one knows the mindset many of these organizations have going into the regular season finale, but there is bound to be plenty of movement on Sunday.
