2025 NFL Draft order: Where Pats stand in first round after Week 17 loss originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft is still in play for the New England Patriots.
on Saturday 40-7 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers brought the Patriots’ record in 2024 to 3-13. They still have second choice heading into Sunday’s games, but they will go to number 1 if the New York Giants (2-13) beat the Indianapolis Colts.
The Patriots clinched a top-five finish following their Week 17 loss.
At the very least, New England will retain the second overall pick heading into the final week of the regular season. While the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans (both 3-12) face off on Sunday, the Patriots will still have a worse schedule regardless of the outcome.
Here is the updated order of the top 10 first-round picks in the 2025 NFL Draft. This chart will be updated throughout week 17:

Those hoping New England gets the No. 1 or No. 2 pick should rely on the following scenarios on Sunday:
-
New York Giants beat Indianapolis Colts
-
Cleveland Browns beat Miami Dolphins
-
Las Vegas Raiders defeat New Orleans Saints
-
Titans vs Jaguars doesn’t end in a tie
The Patriots will finish their 2024 campaign next Sunday at home against the Buffalo Bills. Another loss would give them a high probability of a top-three finish in next year’s draft.
