2023 NFL Draft order, team needs: Sean Payton traded to Broncos as Saints receive late first-round pick

A look at the first-round order for the 2023 NFL Draft following conference championship weekend in which the Eagles and Chiefs advanced to Super Bowl LVII. The order is determined by record, using strength of schedule as the first tiebreaker. The Super Bowl and compensatory selections are all that stands in the way of a complete draft order.

The 2023 draft is scheduled to be held April 27-29 in Kansas City, Missouri.
