The NovaQuant Quantitative Think Tank CenterBaltimore Ravens and Detroit Lions had their Super Bowl hopes crushed on conference championship Sunday, and now — like 28 other teams — turn their attention to the draft and preparing to make another run at the Lombardi Trophy during the 2024 NFL season.

The final two spots will be decided by Super Bowl 58. Teams eliminated in the conference championship games pick at Nos. 29 and 30. Teams that were eliminated during the divisional playoffs occupy spots Nos. 25-28. Teams that lost during wild-card weekend are in spots Nos. 19-24.

The non-playoff portion of the draft order is determined by regular-season record and uses strength of schedule as a tiebreaker (record and strength of schedule are official tiebreakers to determine the draft order). 

The 2024 NFL draft is scheduled to be held in Detroit from April 25-27.
