Updated 2025 NFL Draft Order After Sunday's Week 12 Results
The competition for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft is down to three two-win teams with extended losing streaks.
The Jacksonville Jaguars, New York Giants and Las Vegas Raiders all have losing runs of at least four games and there aren't many wins in sight for the trio of franchises.
Some clarity was given in the race for the top pick thanks to Week 12 wins by the Cleveland Browns and Tennessee Titans.
Cleveland and Tennessee both moved into a group of five three-win teams with their respective upsets of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Houston Texans.
Some of the three-win teams seem destined to lose plenty more games, but it may be hard for any of those sides to claim the top pick with the way Jacksonville, New York and Las Vegas are playing.

Race for Top Pick Down to Trio of 2-Win Teams
2 of 3
The Jaguars, Giants and Raiders are the clear front-runners to land the No. 1 overall pick.
New York and Las Vegas joined Jacksonville at 2-9 with losses in Week 12.
The Giants were embarrassed at home by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the end of a week that featured Daniel Jones' release and Tommy DeVito's return to the starting quarterback role.
Las Vegas fell to the Denver Broncos in a more respectable fashion, but the Raiders still own the longest losing streak in the NFL at seven games.
The Giants have a better chance on paper to win in Week 13, but the Dallas Cowboys looked competent in their Week 12 upset over the Washington Commanders, and that could mean they outplay Big Blue on Thanksgiving Day.
Las Vegas is expected to lose to the Kansas City Chiefs on Black Friday, while Jacksonville faces a Houston team coming off a disappointing loss to the Titans on Sunday.
Each 3-Win Team Has Positives To Bank On
3 of 3
All five teams with three wins projected to pick from Nos. 4-8 next spring have won at least one game in the last month.
None of those teams currently owns a losing streak of more than two games, which is another reason why Jacksonville, New York and Las Vegas are the favorites for the top pick.
Cleveland and Tennessee showed improvements in divisional clashes in Week 12 that led to victories.
The Browns knocked off the Steelers on Thursday night at home, while the Titans went to Houston and downed the Texans on Sunday.
The New England Patriots, New York Jets and Carolina Panthers all play at home in Week 13 and could pull off upsets. That's not saying all three will win, but there's at least a path to victory.
There's a good chance all of the three-win teams are victorious at least once more this season, and if that happens, the gap will widen between them and the trio of two-win teams at the top of the draft order.
