Updated 2026 NFL Draft Order After Week 15 Results, Who Could Giants & Raiders Take?

Six teams can realistically land the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft after Week 15.

The New York Giants, Las Vegas Raiders and Tennessee Titans all sit at 2-12. New York is currently in possession of the top selection.

The Cleveland Browns, New York Jets and Arizona Cardinals are right behind them at 3-11. They need to lose and get help to claim the top position.

The Giants are not in need of a quarterback with Jaxson Dart on the roster, so the possibilities are endless for which way they can approach the top of the draft board.

Las Vegas is the team with highest pick and the biggest quarterback need at the moment. The Raiders might have to put a full-court press on Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza wherever they pick in April.

If you assume Jaxson Dart will be the New York Giants quarterback for the next few years, then the possibilities are wide open for the NFC East side at the top of the 2026 NFL draft.

Ohio State safety Caleb Downs is the No. 1 player on the big board produced by the Bleacher Report NFL scouting department.

Adding a franchise-changing defensive star should be the priority for the Giants.

Downs is not the only option, though, as Miami EDGE Rueben Bain Jr, and LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane are the Nos. 2 and 3 prospects on the B/R big board.

The Giants defense allowed over 20 points in every contest of their current eight-game losing streak, so a massive defensive upgrade is required.

New York needs to add more stars around Dart as well, but the defensive talent is too good at the top of this specific draft class.

To gain the top pick, the Giants need to lose out to the Minnesota Vikings, Raiders and Dallas Cowboys. A loss to the Raiders would knock Las Vegas out of contention for the top pick.

Las Vegas needs a young franchise quarterback.

The Raiders offense looked horrible on Sunday with Kenny Pickett at the helm. It didn't look much better when starting quarterback Geno Smith was healthy.

Las Vegas has a strong young core with running back Ashton Jeanty and tight end Brock Bowers. Now it needs a better signal-caller to lead that unit.

Fernando Mendoza is the hot name in draft circles because he led Indiana to an undefeated regular season and won the Heisman Trophy.

Mendoza is the No. 4 overall prospect and No. 1 quarterback on the B/R NFL scouting department big board.

The fit seems too obvious right now, but to make sure they get Mendoza, the Raiders have to lose out to the Houston Texans, New York Giants and the Kansas City Chiefs.
