2026 NFL Draft Order, Full List of Picks for Teams in 1st-Round After Saturday Week 18
The Las Vegas Raiders are close to securing the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft.
All the Raiders have to do is lose for the 15th time this season on Sunday to sit atop the draft order.
Four 3-13 teams are in the mix for No. 1 overall pick if the Raiders miraculously beat the Kansas City Chiefs.
It's more likely that the New York Giants, Arizona Cardinals, New York Jets and Tennessee Titans are competing for the No. 2 overall pick in Week 18.

Las Vegas is likely headed toward the top pick in April's draft.
The Raiders ruled out Geno Smith for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Chiefs. Brock Bowers and Maxx Crosby are among the regulars not playing as well.
Losing to the Chiefs will be more difficult than usual since Kansas City is down to its third-string quarterback after injuries to Patrick Mahomes and Gardner Minshew.
Las Vegas only scored 10 points in Week 17 against a New York Giants team in contention for the No. 1 pick. Another offensive struggle is expected in Week 18 with so few first-choice options available.
That likely leaves the Giants, Jets, Titans and Cardinals to fight for the No. 2 selection.
The Giants have the best path to a potential victory at home against the Dallas Cowboys. Tennessee, Arizona and the Jets are all playing teams with something left to play for in the playoff picture.
The Cleveland Browns and Washington Commanders will fill out the top seven picks no matter which results they produce on Sunday.
The back end of the top 10 could feature any number of teams, including the Chiefs, Cincinnati Bengals and Miami Dolphins.
