Draft Order Reshaped: Panther, Raider Victories Reshuffle Top 10 Prospects Ahead of Week 17
The NFL Draft order has been reshaped following the weekend's results, with the Carolina Panthers and Las Vegas Raiders both picking up crucial wins. These victories have shuffled the top 10 prospects ahead of Week 17, bringing about added intrigue to the upcoming draft.
Key Victories and Draft Implications
The Panthers' 24-10 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers dropped the Buccaneers to 6-9, while the Raiders' 27-20 win against the Cleveland Browns improved their record to 6-9.

Other top prospects, such as Ohio State wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Oregon edge rusher Nolan Smith, will also be impacted by the draft order.
