The top five picks in the 2025 NFL Draft remain up for grabs with just three weeks remaining in the regular season.
At 2-12, the New York Giants currently own the No. 1 overall pick following their Week 15 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The Las Vegas Raiders are second overall with a 2-11 record heading into their Monday Night Football confrontation with the Atlanta Falcons.
The New England Patriots, Jacksonville Jaguars, Carolina Panthers, Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns follow with a 3-11 record and strong schedule as tiebreakers. After Patriots’ 30-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals As of Sunday, they still own the No. 3 pick in 2025 because they have the weakest strength of schedule (combined opponents’ winning percentage of .466) of any 3-11 team.
Here is the updated order of the top 10 first-round picks in the 2025 NFL Draft. This table will be updated as more Week 15 games are completed.
Those hoping for a better Patriots draft pick can take solace in the team’s schedule for the rest of the season. After visiting the Cardinals, New England has a grueling three-game stretch that includes two tough games against the Buffalo Bills:
- Week 16: at Buffalo Bills
- Week 17: against the Los Angeles Chargers
- Week 18: against the Buffalo Bills
Monday’s Raiders-Falcons and Chicago Bears-Minnesota Vikings games will be worth watching for those keeping an eye on the 2025 draft order. If Las Vegas and Chicago lose, they’ll give New England some more competition tougher for a place among the top five.
This article will be updated throughout week 15.
