AFC Playoff Picture: Broncos RETAIN Control Of Final Wild Card Spot + Browns Current Draft Position

The AFC playoff picture took a dramatic turn on Sunday as the Denver Broncos defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars to retain control of the final wild card spot. The Broncos now hold a 7-8 record, while the New York Jets (7-8) and Miami Dolphins (8-7) are hot on their heels.

The Broncos’ victory was their third in a row, and they are now playing their best football of the season. Quarterback Drew Lock has been playing well, and the defense has been making big plays. The Broncos are now in a good position to make a run at the playoffs, but they will need to continue to win games.

The Jets and Dolphins are also playing well, and they both have a chance to make the playoffs. The Jets have won four of their last five games, and they are now tied with the Broncos for the final wild card spot. The Dolphins have won three of their last four games, and they are now one game behind the Broncos and Jets.

The Cleveland Browns are currently projected to have the 12th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. This would be their highest draft pick since 2018, when they selected Baker Mayfield with the first overall pick.

The Browns have a lot of needs to address in the draft, including quarterback, wide receiver, and cornerback. They could also use some help on the offensive line and at linebacker.

The Browns have a lot of cap space to work with this offseason, so they could be active in free agency. They could also trade up in the draft to select a player they really want.

The AFC playoff picture is still very much in flux, and the Broncos, Jets, and Dolphins are all in contention for the final wild card spot. The Browns are also in a good position to make the playoffs, but they will need to continue to win games.
