Updated 2026 NFL Draft Order After Week 16 Results, Who Could Giants & Browns Take?

The New York Giants moved one loss closer to the No. 1 overall pick on Sunday afternoon.

The Giants dropped to 2-13 with their defeat to the Minnesota Vikings.

New York meets the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 17 in a game that could likely decide the top selection in the 2026 NFL draft. Las Vegas lost its 13th game of the regular season as well on Sunday against the Houston Texans.

The Tennessee Titans likely took themselves out of the race for the top pick with their Week 16 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.

Tennessee is one of four three-win teams in the NFL along with the Cleveland Browns, New York Jets and Arizona Cardinals.

New York Giants

The New York Giants need to put help around Jaxson Dart if he's going to succeed in the coming years.

Dart only had 33 passing yards in Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The Giants made an active effort to run the ball instead of attacking the Minnesota secondary.

The Giants will get Malik Nabers back next season, but he can't be the only skill position player to carry the Dart-led offense.

Arizona State's Jordyn Tyson and Ohio State's Carnell Tate are the top two wide receivers on the Bleacher Report NFL scouting department big board.

There's also a chance the Giants take a swing at Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love, who is B/R's No. 5 overall prospect.

It's hard to justify taking a wide receiver or running back at No. 1 overall in this era of the NFL, so the Giants might be able to trade down a few spots if they are seriously intrigued by offensive skill position players at the top of the first round.

The Giants could always take the best available player, which in this draft class is Ohio State safety Caleb Downs.

But with how grim the offensive outlook is right now, the Giants might be best suited to take an offensive player whenever they pick in the first round.

Cleveland Browns

The Cleveland Browns drafted a solid young offensive core in 2025 with Shedeur Sanders, Quinshon Judkins and Harold Fannin Jr.

Sanders displayed some bright spots throughout his handful of starts, Judkins was a major piece of the rushing attack before he got hurt on Sunday and Fannin is one of the best first-year pass-catchers in the NFL.

Cleveland still needs a No. 1 wide receiver and help on defense to even think of contending in the AFC North.

It would be wise of the Browns to add Downs or LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane, two of B/R's top three prospects, with their first-round selection.

The temptation will be there to take Tyson or Tate to be the No. 1 wide out of the future, but the Browns should focus on offense with their other first-round pick that they received from the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Travis Hunter trade.

That pick could be used to trade back up into the top 10, or to take someone like USC's Makai Lemon to fill the void at wide receiver.
