With anotherNFL Thanksgiving triple-headerunderway to begin Week 13, there are only five full weeks left of the 2025 regular season. That's still plenty of time to see shake-ups in the2026 NFL Draftorder.
If the season ended on Thanksgiving, theTennessee Titanswould hold the No. 1 overall pick in the draft for a second straight year. Tennessee and rookie quarterback/former No. 1 overall pickCam Wardhave all of one win so far through 12 weeks of the season. No other team has fewer than two.
Outside of exciting division races to the top of a playoff bracket, there will be some interesting races to the bottom for the top of the NFL draft order. There are four teams with two wins through 12 weeks, meaning they're all still competing for the No. 2 overall pick. Should the Titans win another game, that's suddenly a race for pick No. 1.
Here's how the 2026 NFL Draft order currently looks with a little less than one-third of the season left to play:
