There are only four weeks left in the regular season, and as each week passes, the 2026 NFL draft order becomes clearer and clearer. We are used to seeing a competition for the top three picks at this time of year, but this season it feels like there are way more teams that have a chance at the No. 1 spot.
Heading into Week 15, there are eight teams with three wins or fewer. While no NFL team will ever say they are playing for draft-pick positioning, we have seen in recent years that a late-season win can drop a team from the No. 1 overall pick and the most control in the draft to the No. 4 pick.
Even with teams only having four games left, the draft picture can change drastically depending on how the games go and how the tiebreakers shape out. For now, the New York Giants, Las Vegas Raiders and Tennessee Titans all sit at 2-11 and are sitting with the top choices for next year's draft.
So, what does the 2026 NFL draft order look like heading into Sunday of Week 15? AllSportsPeople has the details.

Top 2026 NFL Draft prospects
Here's a look at the top 10 prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft, based on both AllSportsPeople' latest mock draft and NFL Mock Draft Database's consensus big board:
| Rank | Player | Position | College team |
| 1 | Rueben Bain Jr. | EDGE | Miami |
| 2 | Fernando Mendoza | QB | Indiana |
| 3 | Arvell Reese | LB | Ohio State |
| 4 | Dante Moore | QB | Oregon |
| 5 | Ty Simpson | QB | Alabama |
| 6 | Caleb Downs | S | Ohio State |
| 7 | Peter Woods | DL | Clemson |
| 8 | Spencer Fano | OT | Utah |
| 9 | Jordyn Tyson | WR | Arizona State |
| 10 | Keldric Faulk | EDGE | Auburn |
Even in an odd year for quarterbacks, with many of the projected top prospects struggling, a handful of potential first-round picks still remain. Indiana's Fernando Mendoza has played himself into the No. 1 pick conversation, fueled by his Heisman-winning season. Alabama's Ty Simpson and Oregon's Dante Moore are also in the mix near the top of the first round.
Defenders are also rising up the board. Miami EDGE Rueben Bain Jr. And Ohio State LB Arvell Reese each have cases to be the top overall players in the draft, while Reese's teammate Caleb Downs has long been projected as a likely top-10 pick.
While 2026 may not feature a true blue-chip wide receiver prospect, Arizona State WR Jordyn Tyson remains a highly-rated player despite battling nagging injuries in 2025. He is still projected to be the first wide receiver drafted come April.
