2015 NFL Draft order: Wild card games set picks 1-24

Four more picks in this year’s draft are in place starting with the Cincinnati Bengals at No. 21.

Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports

Following the four wild card games, the first 24 picks in the 2015 NFL Draft are set.

The four picks set over the weekend were the Bengals (No. 21), Steelers (No. 22), Lions (No. 23) and Cardinals (No. 24). The Bengals will likely begin the process of finding a pass rusher to improve a defense that finished last in the NFL in sacks.

The Steelers could also target defense to replace some aging pieces in the secondary. The Lions may have their sights on defensive backs too. The Cardinals, despite finishing 11-5, have holes on the offensive line, at pass rusher and middle linebacker if Daryl Washington is let go.
