The NFL Draft order continues to take shape with the game of the year (or the opposite) for draft positioning in Week 17.
The biggest game of the year for the No. 1 pick race takes place in the late-afternoon window on Dec. 28, with the Raiders hosting the New York Giants. The loser has the inside track on the top pick with a week remaining in the regular season.
The Tennessee Titans will end the season with no lower than the No. 7 pick after losing to New Orleans in Week 17.
Here’s the current projected 2026 NFL Draft order:
