Week 7 NFL action is complete. We’re still over a third of the way through the season, so we have a pretty good sample size to predict how these teams will fare going forward.
Four teams are expected to compete for the No. 1 pick in next April’s draft: the Patriots, Browns, Panthers, and Titans, but all have just one win. New England’s franchise quarterback is No. 3 overall pick Drake Maye, but the remaining three will likely be in the market for a franchise signal-caller. Other teams likely to be aggressive in acquiring a quarterback would be the Giants (2-5) and Raiders (2-5).
CBSSports.com looks at where teams will pick after Week 7, as well as each team’s potential needs based on their pending free agents and players who may depart.
Draft order via Tankathon.com is ordered by win-loss record, with ties broken by strength of schedule. The team’s needs are forward-looking with current needs and pending free agents. Notable pending free agents are listed and are not a complete list.
