We’re through 14 weeks of the NFL's 2025 campaign, and with each passing game, the playoff picture becomes clearer. Just four weeks remain in the regular season, so we know for the most part what teams will be picking near the top or bottom of next year’s draft.

The next four weeks will be pivotal and could drastically shake up the NFL draft order, not to mention the playoff race. Sunday’s slate of games certainly did, as the Titans, who were on pace to pick atop the draft in ‘26, defeated the Browns for their second win of the season. That result saw the Giants, who had a bye in Week 14, move to the top of the draft order.

There was more rising and falling throughout the week, too. A tough loss to the Texans has the Chiefs on pace to pick in the top half of the draft for the first time since they selected Patrick Mahomes with the No. 10 pick in 2017. Meanwhile, a year after reaching the NFC championship, the Commanders have just three wins and are currently sixth in the draft order.

Let’s take a look at the full draft order following Sunday’s slate of Week 14 action:

A year after drafting their quarterback of the future in Jaxson Dart, the Giants could be picking out of the top spot in 2026, when they could further their rebuild by selecting another potential franchise cornerstone. New York’s Week 15 game against the Commanders could have a significant impact on draft positions, with both teams currently in the top six.

The Cam Ward-led Titans defeated Shedeur Sanders and the Browns in a 31–29 thriller on Sunday afternoon, meaning they lost their grip on the top spot in the draft. Still, they'll be picking in the top three, unless they win another game.
