The players in the Super Bowl chase have been trimmed now that wild card weekend is a wrapchase have been trimmed now that wild card weekend is a wrap chase have been trimmed to four now that the divisional games are The chase have been trimmed now that the divisional games are a wrap. The Indianapolis Colts, Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles Chargers, and Philadelphia Eagles been eliminated from the playoffs after losing their games and now the next four spots in the 2019 NFL Draft are set. Previously, the furthest we knew was that the Oakland Raiders sat at 24th (via the Bears pick in the Khalil Mack trade).
Following the Raiders, The Eagles (9-7) will go at 25, the Colts (10-6) at 26, the Raiders again (due to the Cowboys 10-6 finish) at 27, and the Chargers slide in at 28 (12-4).
The Colts have a worse strength of schedule at .465 which puts them ahead of the Raiders’ Cowboys pick .488.
The Raiders will be mighty busy come draft day with their three picks in the first round to fill out Jon Gruden’s roster and vision. They have ample opportunity to trade up if needed, or they can get some hopeful studs. The remaining teams, the New England Patriots, Kansas City Chiefs, New Orleans Saints, and Los Angeles Rams, still have games to play and things will be solidified after the Super Bowl.
