Lorenzo Reyes is back with his best bets for Week 14 games. He explains why he likes Browns, Bengals and Eagles.
The clock is ticking – on the year and the 2025 NFL regular season.
It will soon be ticking at the 2026 NFL Draft, but who will own that top spot when the dust settles? There are only four weeks left after the Week 14 slate to determine the final order – at least until the inevitable trades shake it up even further.
Plenty of familiar teams headline the group again this time of year. The Tennessee Titans, New York Giants, New Orleans Saints, Las Vegas Raiders and Cleveland Browns all entered Week 14 in possession of a top-five pick. Will they be able to say the same after the week is over?
Here’s a look at the 2026 NFL Draft order as Week 14 results come in.
