The 2019 season continues to march on for teams likely to make the playoffs, but for clubs like the Bears, who have just a 2-percent chance to make the post-season, it's worth keeping an eye on the slowly crystallizing 2020 NFL draft order.
The Bears don't have a first-round pick, and that's OK. They have Khalil Mack. That's a win.
They also have two second-round picks, which entering Week 13 are both top-50 choices. Chicago received Oakland's 2020 second-rounder in the Mack deal, too.

The Bears' first pick (their own) is No. 46 overall while the Raiders is No. 49. That's the equivalent of two potential starters, if not at least significant contributors who should come from April's draft class.
Here's the complete first-round order, which is subject to change as the playoff field shakes out:
