Which Team Has the Best Chance To Land the Top Pick?
PFSN’s Playoff Predictor isn’t just a one-stop destination for everything related to the NFL’s playoff bracket. But it also serves as an accurate indicator of how things will shape out for the rest of the NFL as the season moves along.
And, judging by the Week 11 results, there is going to be a ton of upheaval in the rankings. Perhaps the biggest blow to the number one overall pick odds came due to the Miami Dolphins’ game against the Washington Commanders.
After appearing in last year’s NFC Championship Game, the fall for Washington has been catastrophic, with injuries severely limiting them throughout the year. But the shock came from Miami’s end, who, despite an ugly showing against the Commanders, were able to come away with their second consecutive victory.
However, the rest of the teams near the bottom of the league played close to their regular standard. The New York Jets, in a rare Thursday Night Football game, were demolished by the New England Patriots as Drake Maye continued his march to the top of the MVP race.
The New York Giants, who added Jaxson Dart to their absurdly long list of injuries on the offensive side of the football, weren’t able to keep up with the Green Bay Packers, as a failed Hail Mary attempt lost them the game.
The Cleveland Browns game against the Baltimore Ravens was one that fans aren’t likely to forget anytime soon. Even though the Ravens unsurprisingly walked away with the win, the game marked the NFL regular-season debut for Shedeur Sanders.
After spending months on the bench behind the likes of Joe Flacco and Dillon Gabriel, a head injury to Gabriel paved the way for him to take over the starting job. Unfortunately, his performance, while met with raucous cheers from the crowd, ultimately left a lot to be desired.
If he continues as the man under center moving forward, then the Browns could be in for an even rougher showing than they’ve already gotten used to. Finally, the performance from the Tennessee Titans might have been the most disappointing of the bunch.
Facing a Houston Texans team without its starting quarterback, they still couldn’t get things rolling. Instead, they managed to score less than double-digit points on the night, paving the way for the Texans to remain in the thick of the playoff race, while they maintained their position as the bottom-ranked team in the entire NFL.
The current odds for the first overall pick after these results stand at:
Tennessee Titans, 31.30%
New Orleans Saints, 14.20%
Cleveland Browns, 14.10%
New York Giants, 12.10%
New York Jets, 10.50%
Las Vegas Raiders, 6.70%
Washington Commanders, 3.70%
Top Prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft
Rueben Bain Jr., EDGE, Miami (FL)
Rueben Bain Jr. has been a disruptive defender for as long as he’s been on the college football circuit. After joining the Hurricanes as a four-star recruit, Bain racked up 7.5 sacks, 13 tackles for loss, and three forced fumbles in his true freshman campaign. Bain’s sophomore season was less productive, but he was nursing a calf injury, and he has a chance to bounce back as a junior. At 275 pounds, Bain has a rare body type for the position, with elite compact mass and natural leverage, and he’s an easy accelerator with awesome raw hand power. While power is his primary mode, he has a deep pass-rush bag and smooth upper-lower synergy, superb strength, IQ, and pursuit range in run defense, and surprising flexibility as a finisher.
Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana
Fernando Mendoza could be a potential first overall pick in waiting, and the leap could be coming at Indiana. At 6’5″, 225 pounds, Mendoza has the ideal prototypical frame, along with quick feet, nimble pocket mobility, and understated creation capacity and off-script feel. He’s a crisp rotational and consistent areal thrower who flashes high-end situational precision and layering ability. Even beyond that, he has the rifle arm strength and keen anticipation to make NFL-level throws. There’s a definite degree of arm arrogance in Mendoza’s game that he’ll have to tamp down, in order to minimize unnecessary risks and forced throws. Nevertheless, he has all the physical and mental tools to catalyze a rise as a franchise QB candidate.
Dante Moore, QB, Oregon
Dante Moore has gone from dark horse to definite QB1 contender. It’s tough to call a former five-star recruit a dark horse, but Moore’s college career got off to a slower start than many expected. As a true freshman at UCLA in 2023, he started five of nine games played with subpar efficiency. Then he transferred to Oregon and threw just eight passes in 2024 while redshirting behind Dillon Gabriel. But now that Moore has had time to develop, and now that he has the reins in a QB-friendly Oregon environment, he’s looking like an early first-round pick. At 6’3″, 210 pounds, Moore boasts easy, effortless velocity and layering ability as his calling card, and he looks supremely poised, composed, and mechanically-sound for his age. He had ice in his veins against Penn State in a tough environment, and is on a steep ascent to potential QB1 status.
Arvell Reese, LB, Ohio State
Arvell Reese is a first-year starter for the Ohio State Buckeyes, who could be at the start of an early-round ascent in 2025. He was the Buckeyes’ best player in their season-opening win against the top-ranked Texas Longhorns, with nine total tackles and a sack. Along the way, Reese put translatable reps on tape as a pass-rusher, a run defender, and a coverage presence. At 6’4″, 243 pounds, Reese has a tantalizing blend of explosive athleticism, length, and forklifting strength. He used that strength to stack-and-shed in the run game, plaster solo blockers into the turf as a blitzer, and make solo stops in gap invasion. Meanwhile, his range and fluidity makes him dangerous as a rusher, as well as a dropper and matcher in zone coverage. Reese is on the rise; the only question is how high he goes.
Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State
Caleb Downs has received first-round premonitions from the general consensus ever since he set foot on Georgia’s campus as a five-star recruit. An instant producer at the CFB level, Downs was a star for the Bulldogs’ vaunted defense in 2023, and then for Ohio State’s Championship-level unit in 2024. Now Downs is eligible, and he’s already in the conversation as one of the best safety prospects in recent memory. A fluid, explosive, and energized mover at 6’0″, 205 pounds, Downs is special in the box with his combined mobility, play pace, angle IQ, and physicality on blocks. And on top of his alley-running skills, he’s an instinctive cover man who can manage route relationships, transition, and clamp down on stems from different alignments. In short, he’s a game-changer.
Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State
Carnell Tate first showed promise with a 52-733-4 receiving line last season, producing in spite of his place as the Buckeyes’ third option alongside Jeremiah Smith and first-round NFL Draft pick Emeka Egbuka. But in 2024, Tate’s technical feel was still underdeveloped. He was primarily a vertical threat for Ohio State, who lacked polish. That hasn’t been the case in 2025. Tate has reinvented his game, and has become a true route-running expert with rare sink, throttle control, and stem IQ for his size. He still has the long-strider range, body control, and catch-point focus that makes him so potent in 50-50 situations, but he’s a true multi-level separator who can win 1-on-1, convert on clutch downs, and generate big plays. A complete X or movement-Z, Tate will assuredly keep Ohio State’s first-round streak at WR alive, and he has impact starter ability.
