Projected 2025 NFL Draft order: Giants move to No. 2, Cowboys drop out of top 10...

After Sunday’s Week 12 games, the NFL season is more than halfway through for most teams and there is still competition for the No. 1 pick in the 2025 Draft.

Just two teams still have to play Week 12 - the Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Chargers, who will face off tonight in Monday Night Football. But with the Sunday games now done (and the Chargers and Ravens with similar records), we have a pretty good understanding of how the 2025 Draft is shaking out as far as the picking order. Though with six weeks left in the regular season after this one, things can definitely change for some of these teams.

As of now, the Jacksonville Jaguars remain the team to get the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, but after the New York Giants' ugly loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they’ve moved up to No. 2 behind them. The Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs, who share a record of 10-1, are the last two teams to pick in the draft at this point in the season.

Colorado quarterback and son of Deion Sanders, Shedeur Sanders, is currently the favorite to be picked No. 1 overall. Though, of course, that will depend on which team actually gets the first pick in the end and if they’re in the market for a quarterback.

This list is based on the teams' current records and tiebreakers are determined by strength of schedule.
