Only two weeks remain in the regular season, yet there are still several scenarios open to see which team will "earn" the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Now that Week 16 is behind us, here is the latest draft order:
| Pick | Team | Record | Win% | GB |
| 1 | New York Giants | 2-13 | .133 | -- |
| 2 | Las Vegas Raiders | 2-13 | .133 | -- |
| 3 | Cleveland Browns | 3-12 | .200 | 1.0 |
| 4 | New York Jets | 3-12 | .200 | 1.0 |
| 5 | Tennessee Titans | 3-12 | .200 | 1.0 |
| 6 | Arizona Cardinals | 3-12 | .200 | 1.0 |
| 7 | Washington Commanders | 4-11 | .267 | 2.0 |
| 8 | New Orleans Saints | 5-10 | .333 | 3.0 |
| 9 | Cincinnati Bengals | 5-10 | .333 | 3.0 |
| 10 | Miami Dolphins | 6-9 | .400 | 4.0 |
| 11 | L.A. Rams (via Falcons) | 6-9 | .400 | 4.0 |
| 12 | Kansas City Chiefs | 6-9 | .400 | 4.0 |
| 13 | Dallas Cowboys | 6-8-1 | .433 | 4.5 |
| 14 | Baltimore Ravens | 7-8 | .467 | 5.0 |
| 15 | Minnesota Vikings | 7-8 | .467 | 5.0 |
| 16 | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 7-8 | .467 | 5.0 |
| 17 | Detroit Lions | 8-7 | .533 | 6.0 |
| 18 | New York Jets (via Colts) | 8-7 | .533 | 6.0 |
| 19 | Carolina Panthers | 8-7 | .533 | 6.0 |
| 20 | Pittsburgh Steelers | 9-6 | .600 | 7.0 |
| 21 | Dallas Cowboys (via Packers) | 9-5-1 | .633 | 7.5 |
| 22 | Philadelphia Eagles | 10-5 | .667 | 8.0 |
| 23 | Houston Texans | 10-5 | .667 | 8.0 |
| 24 | Buffalo Bills | 11-4 | .733 | 9.0 |
| 25 | L.A. Chargers | 11-4 | .733 | 9.0 |
| 26 | San Francisco 49ers | 11-4 | .733 | 9.0 |
| 27 | Cleveland Browns (via Jaguars) | 11-4 | .733 | 9.0 |
| 28 | L.A. Rams | 11-4 | .733 | 9.0 |
| 29 | Chicago Bears | 11-4 | .733 | 9.0 |
| 30 | New England Patriots | 12-3 | .800 | 10.0 |
| 31 | Denver Broncos | 12-3 | .800 | 10.0 |
| 32 | Seattle Seahawks | 12-3 | .800 | 10.0 |
Strength of schedule, using a team's 17-opponents' current records, is the tiebreaker when win/losses of multiple franchises are the same.
After the Titans victory over suddenly quarterback depleted Kansas City, the Giants jump up to first overall. Tennessee drops to fifth, while the Browns and Jets sit third and fourth. The Browns, Jets, Cowboys, and Rams all currently hold two first round selections.
Keep in mind that the 14-teams that make the playoffs (from 19th down) will have their draft position shift based on post-season success. The Super Bowl winner secures pick 32, and the runner-up takes No. 31.
The Week 17 match-up to track is Giants vs. Raiders. The loser will be the favorite to lock down that coveted first overall pick in April.
