The college football regular season has come to a close, which means 2024 NFL Draft declarations will be flowing freely. It is the first stage of a nearly five-month process that takes us all the way up to draft day.

Trades are not being projected until the draft order crystallizes in January but, in today’s thought exercise, a bit more light shines on those situations.
The draft order below was determined using Tankathon ahead of Week 13 games, which uses records and strength of schedule as a tiebreaker.
Without further ado, let’s kick this off!
