The 2025 NFL season is almost over, which means the 2026 offseason is quickly approaching.
Most teams are now focused on next year, hoping to improve their rosters and their standing from this season. In fact, with the conference championships over, only two teams are still working with Super Bowl 60 in mind.
When the season ended, 18 teams knew where they stood in the NFL draft, and a dozen other teams determined their draft spots over the course of the playoffs. The Las Vegas Raiders will kick off the festivities with the first pick, followed by the New York Jets, Arizona Cardinals, and Tennessee Titans.
Here’s a look at how the NFL draft order stands with one more game left in the season.
