2025 NFL draft order: Giants hold top pick, Raiders drop to No. 6 with win

play

The race to the bottom continues for the seven teams with three or fewer wins, and a date with the top pick in next year’s draft is on all of their Christmas wish lists.

Entering Week 16, the Las Vegas Raiders and New York Giants were neck-and-neck in the race to own the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL draft. Both teams held a 2-12 record prior to their 15th games, but the Giants‘ loss to the Atlanta Falcons in the early slate on Sunday was enough to give them possession of the top pick.

Las Vegas had the chance to reclaim ownership of the league’s worst record with a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars later in the afternoon. However, second-year quarterback Aidan O’Connell led the Raiders to their third win of the year with 257 passing yards, dropping their draft pick down to No. 6.

Here’s how the draft order looks after the late afternoon slate of games on Sunday in Week 16:
