While so much of the end of the NFL regular season is focused on the playoffs, there is already about a quarter of the league that’s already focused on the 2025 NFL Draft. We’ve seen teams like the Raiders, Giants, Browns, Jets and more already eliminated from postseason contention, which means it’s time to start thinking about the future.

Of course, some of the teams in that bucket entered the season knowing that they would already be more focused on the 2025 draft than they would be winning this season. Others, however, did not expect to be in this position and are left trying to figure out how to pick up the pices — looking at you, Jets and Bengals.

But where does the 2025 NFL Draft order stand at this point? Let’s take a look at the latest updated order before diving into a mock draft projection for the Top 10 picks and these teams that have a lot of work ahead to build for the future.

1. Las Vegas Raiders (2-11)
2. New York Giants (2-11)

4. Carolina Panthers (3-10)
5. Jacksonville Jaguars (3-10)
6. Tennessee Titans (3-10)
7. New York Jets (3-10)
8. Cleveland Browns (3-10)
9. Cincinnati Bengals (4-8)
10. Chicago Bears (4-8)
11. New Orleans Saints (5-8)
12. Dallas Cowboys (5-7)
13. San Francisco 49ers (5-7)
14. Miami Dolphins (6-7)
15. Indianapolis Colts (6-7)
16. Atlanta Falcons (6-7)

23. Houston Texans (8-5)
24. Baltimore Ravens (8-5)

30. Philadelphia Eagles (11-2)
31. Kansas City Chiefs (11-1)
32. Detroit Lions (12-1)

Even after 14 weeks of the regular season, there is still so much to still be decided and that could be shaken up in the draft order. The bunch of six teams at 3-10 are indicative of that and we even saw it on Sunday. Jacksonville’s win over Tennessee pushed the Jaguars out of the No. 1 pick, which is music to the ears of Raiders and Giants fans.

When things are this congested at the bottom of the standings and top of the NFL Draft order, though, it makes every game meaningful for the future. One game in which a team like the Giants — or another team in that mix — plays over their heads and picks up a surprise win could take them out of range for an ideal target. So if you’re a fan of a team inside this mix, buckle up for a bumpy ride because tanking, whether intentional or not, is never smooth sailing.

But what could these teams at the top of the draft end up doing with their picks early in the first round? Let’s quickly take a look at the Top 10 picks and how they could play out for these teams.

The Raiders and Giants picking at No. 1 and 2 is beneficial for both franchises as this might be a draft with two sure things at quarterback. That, however, forces the hand of a team like the Titans to roll the dice with another year of Will Levis under center and getting him an elite weapon in Tetairoa McMillan. But the Browns do roll the dice on quarterback with Jalen Milroe, who could be afforded the necessary time to develop if Cleveland brings Jameis Winston back into the fold.

Beyond that, the Patriots getting Travis Hunter is absolutely massive for the future of Drake Maye. And getting Will Campbell in the building to protect Caleb Williams is massively important for his development. It’s also huge for the Bengals to start getting the defense fixed by pairing Jalon Walker with Trey Hendrickson.
