Super Bowl LX will be between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks, as we all expected. This doesn’t mean much for fans of the Cincinnati Bengals, but it does solidify two of the final four remaining draft picks in the first round as well as the draft order going forward.
The No. 29 selection will belong to the Los Angeles Rams. They also own the No. 13 overall pick after acquiring it via a trade with the Atlanta Falcons.

The Denver Broncos will select 30th overall after losing to the New England Patriots.
That means the last two picks will be decided via the Super Bowl. The winner selects last in the first round at 32nd overall. The other will pick 31st.
It all might seem like a moot point for the Bengals selecting 10th overall, but in the event of a trade back or possible trade up, it could depend on where some of these teams end up in the order of things.
It also matters for all of you slamming the mock draft simulators as the order becomes more concrete.
Here is the finalized order as of now:
Los Angeles Rams (via Atlanta Falcons)
New York Jets (via Indianapolis Colts)
Dallas Cowboys (via Green Bay Packers)
Cleveland Browns (via Jacksonville Jaguars)
