2019 NFL Draft order, team needs: 49ers No. 1; Eagles in top 16 Published: Dec 10, 2018 at 03:32 PM Original Content Editor, Draft Strategy This is setting up to be a fight to the finish. The and had a chance to get a leg up in the competition for the No. 1 overall pick on Sunday, but by the time their late-afternoon games ended, both teams had hung on for upset victories, with and . With that, they gave the , who , new life in this race. So now three teams are tied with three wins apiece with three weeks to go, and strength of schedule -- the draft-order tiebreaker (team with the lower SOS picks first) -- could ultimately decide which of them ends up with the top pick. As you can see below, the Niners hold the advantage in that department at this point, but stay tuned. Here's the order heading into Week 15, along with the top three needs for each R.J. Barrett Jersey team. NOTE: The division-record tiebreaker was used to break the tie between the and , since the ties couldn't be broken by record or strength of schedule. Arrows indicate how far up or down a team has moved relative to last week. Record: 3-10 (.485 strength of schedule) **Previous week:** No. 1 **Remaining games:** vs. SEA, vs. CHI, at LAR **Biggest needs:** Edge rusher, DB, LB With all three of their remaining games against winning teams, the Niners' strength of schedule could swell before the season is out, threatening to knock them down in the draft order even if they lose out. The good news is the defense is coming off a a week after being , and John Lynch will have a chance to add the additional playmaker he needs on that side of the ball with his top pick. Record: 3-10 (.515) **Previous week:** No. 4 **Remaining games:** at ATL, vs. LAR, at SEA **Biggest needs:** OL, WR, CB puts Arizona right back in the thick of the hunt for the draft's first pick -- and if they don't beat the , losers of five straight, on Sunday, it's hard to imagine the will win another game in 2018. They simply don't have an offense that can keep up with the rest of the league, ranking last in the NFL with an average of 13.7 points per game. That's almost two full points worse than the , who have started either , or at QB in nearly 40 percent of their games this season. There's a lot of excitement about the top defensive players in the 2019 draft cla s, but the might feel like they have to go offense with their top pick. </content:power-ranking> Record: 3-10 (.568) **Previous week:** No. 2 **Remaining games:** at CIN, vs. DEN, at KC **Biggest needs:** Edge rusher, DB, LB Not only did , but they recorded a sack! Their 11th of the season! (The team that ranks second-to-last in sacks -- Miami -- has twice as many sacks as Oakland.) Now, the could completely destroy their chance of picking first overall with a win over the haple s . But if the offense keeps trending in this direction (averaging 25.3 points in their last four games), perhaps the storyline will be put on ice. Record: 4-9 (.479) **Previous week:** No. 3 **Remaining games:** vs. HOU, vs. GB, at NE **Biggest needs:** Edge rusher, OL, WR Nice win for and Co. , but a lo s to the would've vaulted the to the No. 2 spot in the order with three weeks to go. Oh well. Mike Maccagnan is still likely to have a top-five pick next spring, when he'll undoubtedly be eyeing the pa s rusher he's long sought and improved weaponry/protection for Darnold. Record: 4-9 (.524) **Previous week:** No. 9 **Remaining games:** vs. ARI, at CAR, at TB **Biggest needs:** Edge rusher, OG, DT This team is on a five-game losing streak, dropping the last three by 10 or more points. Atlanta is seemingly sputtering its way to a top-five pick, but look at the schedule -- all three remaining games are winnable. The could have the type of meaningle s late-season surge that costs them draft position. Record: 4-9 (.527) **Previous week:** No. 7 **Remaining games:** vs. DET, at NE, vs. MIA **Biggest needs:** OL, WR, CB fans are never going to embrace , but at this point, it's not the worst thing for Buffalo to keep inching up the board. Get the best skill-position playmaker or offensive lineman available, and hope the D can maintain its very respectable form. </content:power-ranking> Record: 4-9 (.541) **Previous week:** No. 6 **Remaining games:** vs. WAS, at MIA, at HOU **Biggest needs:** QB, WR, OL Whether it's a veteran like or a draft pick, Jacksonville has to start over at quarterback this offseason. That point was reinforced , and the Jags could end up in a situation where they'll have their choice of QBs in the draft (no team currently ahead of them in the order has a pre sing need at the position). The defense was embarra sed by , but the offense has produced 15 points in the last two weeks and needs new life. Record: 5-8 (.491) **Previous week:** No. 5 **Remaining games:** vs. TEN, at IND, vs. DAL **Biggest needs:** QB, DL, OT The have won four of their last five, going from a squad in the running for the first overall pick to potentially landing outside of the top 10 and squashing any hopes of plucking the best quarterback available. Yes, if the are dead-set on picking a QB in 2019, the might be out of luck ... and sticking with Eli for another year. They certainly do have other needs to addre s (O- and D-line, for example), but QB1 still leads the list. Record: 5-8 (.503) **Previous week:** No. 12 **Remaining games:** at BAL, at DAL, vs. ATL **Biggest needs:** DB, DE, OT If is back for the Bucs next season, they'll need to give him better protection. He was sacked four times and hit on six other occasions in . The bigger needs for this club are on defense, though. Only the and have allowed more points. Record: 5-8 (.527) **Previous week:** No. 8 **Remaining games:** at BUF, vs. MIN, at GB **Biggest needs:** DB, edge rusher, TE The ' defense feasted on , and certainly could do the same against the this week, drifting further away from the top five in the draft order in a lost season. The D still figures to be their primary focus this offseason -- will be a free agent -- although finding DeAndre Jordan Jersey a pa s catcher who can attack the seams and give the offense a boost also has to be a priority. Record: 5-8 (.556) **Previous week:** No. 13 **Remaining games:** vs. OAK, at CLE, at PIT **Biggest needs:** LB, TE, QB They gave the a scare, but , losing for the seventh time in eight games. It might be hard to believe, but the were once 4-1. Anyway, this offseason they'll have to figure out what to do about the league's worst defense (allowing 30.5 points per game), and it's time to at least bring in some competition for ( is proving to be a nice backup). Record: 5-7-1 (.485) **Previous week:** No. 10 **Remaining games:** at CHI, at NYJ, vs. DET **Biggest needs:** Edge rusher, S, WR Is this the part where the get red-hot and somehow make the playoffs? We doubt it, but hey, they're still alive, despite the hellish 2018 campaign in Green Bay. The franchise will have decisions to make on longtime staples like and this offseason. Even if Matthews returns on a short-term deal, it's time for the team to find its next pa s rusher. Record: 5-7-1 (.533) **Previous week:** No. 11 **Remaining games:** at DEN, vs. CIN, at BAL **Biggest needs:** OT, WR, CB Make it three wins in the last four games for Cleveland, and they can't be counted out of any of the three games left on the schedule. As the try to take another big step in 2019, the decisions on personnel will be made with in mind, and John Dorsey should be thinking about the protection and playmakers, primarily, for his QB heading into the offseason. Record: 6-7 (.456) **Previous week:** No. 16 **Remaining games:** vs. NO, vs. ATL, at NO **Biggest needs:** Edge rusher, OL, S The losing streak is now at five, with two of their final three games against the 11-2 NFC South champion . Not exactly the relief Ron Rivera badly needs right now. It's po sible we' Reggie Bullock Jersey ll see big changes to the decision makers in Carolina this offseason. Whoever is charged with fixing this me s will have significant work to do on both sides of the ball, with players like , , , , and due to hit free agency. Record: 6-7 (.488) **Previous week:** No. 18 **Remaining games:** at JAX, at TEN, vs. PHI **Biggest needs:** QB, WR, OL It appears quite safe to say this year for the snake-bitten 'Skins, who are still in the hunt as they spiral downward. What are they going to do at QB this offseason? Hopefully, returns strong , but it makes plenty of sense to spend a top pick at the position, regardle s, and they need to upgrade the supporting cast on offense for whoever lines up under center next year. Record: 6-7 (.488) **Previous week:** No. 17 **Remaining games:** at LAR, vs. HOU, at WAS **Biggest needs:** CB, OT, RB It's well established at this point, but bears repeating after a 455-yard day for -- the need help at corner. Their top player at the position, , is recovering from an ACL tear and is due to become a free agent. It's time to draft an offensive tackle, too, with turning 37 next month and a year away from free agency. They're going to need to bring in another rusher to give the offense more balance. Oh, and have expiring deals this offseason, too. Record: 6-7 (.547) **Previous week:** No. 20 **Remaining games:** vs. CLE, at OAK, vs. LAC **Biggest needs:** CB, WR/TE, QB Denver couldn't take care of busine s , dealing their playoff hopes a brutal blow. This team just isn't quite dynamic enough on offense right now, and that should be on John Elway's mind heading into the offseason. With one year left on his deal, it's time to find the heir apparent for , and corner could be a pre sing need with in a contract year and due to hit the market after next season. Record: 7-6 (.456) **Previous week:** No. 15 **Remaining games:** vs. DAL, vs. NYG, at TEN **Biggest needs:** DL, WR, CB Can the be the winning-streak killers in consecutive weeks, beating the scorching-hot and back-to-back? They've proved us wrong enough this season to know not to put it past them. The fact that the are still alive in the playoff race tells you all you need to know: With a few more pieces in 2019, Indy could join the ranks of the elite. Record: 7-6 (.476) **Previous week:** No. 14 **Remaining games:** at MIN, vs. JAX, at BUF **Biggest needs:** DE, QB, WR Maybe this is the for Miami, a team that's navigated injuries, including to their QB1, to find itself squarely in the playoff race with three weeks to go. We're still of the opinion that it's time to find an answer at the position other than , but he appears determined to make that decision a more difficult one with his play in the three weeks since he returned. Record: 7-6 (.521) **Previous week:** No. 19 **Remaining games:** at NYG, vs. WAS, vs. IND **Biggest needs:** WR, OLB, DL It's been an up-and-down year in Tenne see. However, all things considered, fans have to be pretty happy about where their team stands entering Week 15 -- they have the easiest next two games of the AFC's four 7-6 teams and two of their last three games are at home, where they're 5-1 this season. This offense needs more juice and the defense could have a couple holes to fill this spring, but the have a decent shot to make the playoffs for the second straight season. Record: 6-6-1 (.497) **Previous week:** No. 21 **Remaining games:** vs. MIA, at DET, vs. CHI **Biggest needs:** OL, LB, DT Well, sitting at .500 this late in the year was not what the had in mind when they went all in on . Now, there's blame to go around (and in the wake of Monday's poor showing), but the offensive line didn't get enough of a push again in Seattle (it's been a theme for Minnesota all season). There's a lot to like about the skill-position talent for the , but the offense is badly in need of a spark right now and the front five isn't helping matters. Will there be voids to fill this offseason at linebacker and defensive tackle, with and ticketed for free agency? Record: 7-6 (.488) **Previous week:** No. 22 **Remaining games:** vs. TB, at LAC, vs. CLE **Biggest needs:** Edge rusher, WR, ILB It might be odd to see defensive positions on the list of needs for the No. 1 defense in the league, but keep in mind that is 36 and due to become a free agent. , and are in a contract year, too. So, the D could use some young reinforcements, and could benefit from a go-to guy with good size at wide receiver. Record: 7-5-1 (.467) **Previous week:** No. 25 **Remaining games:** vs. NE, at NO, vs. CIN **Biggest needs:** CB, ILB, edge rusher Pittsburgh struggled to stop , which has to be troubling for Mike Tomlin. The should be shopping for a corner this spring after the failed experiment, and could use another disruptive presence at linebacker, as well. Seems like adding another complement for would be wise, too. ' record: 8-5 (.491) **Previous week:** No. 23 ** ' remaining games:** at IND, vs. TB, at NYG ** ' biggest needs:** TE, DL, OL See above (No. 3) for the ' needs -- they acquired this pick in the trade. While Dallas is the hottest team in the league right now, reaping the rewards of its highly criticized midseason roll of the dice on Cooper, . The have produced a grand total of one touchdown from the tight end position this year. Imagine what this offense could be with a weapon for Dak at that position. Record: 8-5 (.515) **Previous week:** No. 24 **Remaining games:** at SF, vs. KC, vs. ARI **Biggest needs:** Edge rusher, DT, OL A suffocating defense keyed Seattle's win over the , with continuing to make plays in his contract year. Even if Seattle doesn't let him walk away, adding a pa s-rushing complement would make sense. The 'Hawks might need to fill a hole up front on offense this spring with OGs and due Kenny Wooten Jersey to become free agents. ' record: 9-4 (.462) **Previous week:** No. 26 ** ' remaining games:** vs. GB, at SF, at MIN ** ' biggest needs:** OT, OG, DB See above (No. 3) for the ' needs -- they acquired this pick in the trade. As for the , the offensive line had a great night , but run blocking has been one of the biggest bugaboos for the unit this season. In the secondary, stud nickel corner is due to become a free agent. Record: 9-4 (.488) **Previous week:** No. 28 **Remaining games:** at NYJ, at PHI, vs. JAX **Biggest needs:** OL, S, CB Houston's O-line deficiencies are revealing themselves again. was sacked five times on Sunday -- the have allowed the second-most sacks in the league (46) -- and the racked up a total of nine tackles for lo s in the game. This franchise has to do better when it comes to protecting the QB, and a leaky secondary ought to be addre sed, too. Record: 9-4 (.509) **Previous week:** No. 29 **Remaining games:** at PIT, vs. BUF, vs. NYJ **Biggest needs:** DL, LB, WR Uncharacteristically sloppy day for the Pats, setting up at least a little more intrigue to their final stretch of the regular season. Come draft time, this team could go in so many different directions, from remodeling the front line on defense to adding a playmaker at linebacker or in the secondary to finding the potential heir apparent for and/or . However, the D-line could require the most attention, with , and due to hit free agency. Record: 10-3 (.456) **Previous week:** No. 27 **Remaining games:** at KC, vs. BAL, at DEN **Biggest needs:** DT, OT, S It's going to be a tough road to the finish line for the , starting with a Thursday night showdown in Kansas City (they lost to two of their remaining opponents -- the and -- earlier this season), but this has been a resilient group. This offseason, the Bolts will have some work to do in the trenches, particularly on defense: DTs , and will be free agents. ' record: 11-2 (.462) **Previous week:** No. 31 ** ' remaining games:** at CAR, vs. PIT, vs. CAR ** ' biggest needs:** CB, TE, LB See above (No. 12) for the ' needs. The sent them this pick in their trade to move up for in the 2018 draft. Elfrid Payton Jersey In fact, New Orleans holds only one selection (second-rounder) in the first four rounds of next year's draft (third-rounder sent to in deal and fourth-rounder sent to in trade). In win-now mode, it would make sense for the to spend their limited draft capital on a young pa s-catching tight end for and more help for the back seven on defense. Record: 11-2 (.473) **Previous week:** No. 30 **Remaining games:** vs. LAC, at SEA, vs. OAK **Biggest needs:** DB, edge rusher, RB It has only cost the a couple games this season, but Kansas City is still home to one of the league's worst defenses, ranking in the bottom five in yards and points allowed. The player to watch in K.C. this offseason is free-agent-to-be , although it's hard to imagine the letting him walk. Regardle s, the secondary needs to be shored up and it will be worth picking an RB at some point in the 2019 draft to replace . Record: 11-2 (.527) **Previous week:** No. 32 **Remaining games:** vs. PHI, at ARI, vs. SF **Biggest needs:** OLB, DB, DT There's bound to be a big hole or two to fill on the defense with , and due to hit the open market this offseason, but it's also time to bring in some young reinforcements for the offensive line, a veteran group that had against a swarming defense.
