Although Carolina is locked into the No. 1 pick, there is plenty of calamity in the 2011 NFL Draft top 10. Three teams have 4-11 records while six teams are at 5-10. Because of that, I’m holding off on a full mock draft until next week when things are a little more settled. For now, check out the current draft order and a quick top 10 mock after the jump.

The first game that sticks out is Arizona at San Francisco. The loser will automatically get a higher pick. There are also four teams at 6-9 (Seattle, Tennessee, Washington and Minnesota). So if you don’t think Week 17 of the NFL season is mostly inconsequential for bad teams, think again.

12. Tennessee Titans - 6-9 (.504)
13. Washington Redskins - 6-9 (.513)
