The afternoon games in Week 17 had a massive impact on the top of the NFL Draft order, including the top two picks. The Giants came into Week 17 with a 2-13 record, a nine-game losing streak, and holding the first overall pick, and then beat down the Raiders, giving up the No. 1 spot in the process.
The beatdown the Jets suffered at the hands of their division rival Patriots shouldn’t hurt New York’s first-round position — but it’s not going to launch them into the No. 1 spot, either. The loss drops New York to 3-13 on the season, and bumps them up to the third overall pick, while the Cleveland Browns drop all the way to No. 6 after pulling off a win over the Steelers, snapping a four-game losing streak.
The Jets also hold the Colts’ first-round pick from the Sauce Gardner trade, and after the Colts’ Week 17 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, that pick now sits at No. 18.
Here’s the current draft order, updated after Sunday’s late afternoon slate of games in Week 17.
