There are four teams with 10 picks each in the Chicago Bears, Kansas City Chiefs, New York Giants and Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks own the Denver Broncos’ No. 5 overall pick via the Russell Wilson trade, in addition to their own first-rounder at No. 20. Chicago, meanwhile, owns four top-64 selections.
