2021 NFL Draft Order: Steelers settle in with No. 24 pick after Wild Card loss

The 2020 NFL regular season is officially in the books. Many can’t believe it even took place, considering the tall task of playing during a pandemic, but the NFL did it. All 32 teams played their full allotment of 16 games. Sure, they ended up having a game every day of the week this season, but they got the season concluded.

With Week 17 of the regular season now in the rear view mirror, 18 teams have moved from game preparation to NFL Draft preparation. With the Wild Card round of the NFL Playoffs officially done, it is a good time to show the current draft order for the 2021 NFL Draft.
