2026 NFL Draft Order Selection List After Saturday's Wild Card Bracket Results

The Carolina Panthers and Green Bay Packers were the first two teams sent home from the NFL postseason on Saturday.

Both teams can now put their full focus on the 2026 NFL draft, but only Carolina is in possession of a first-round pick.

Green Bay's first-round selection was dealt to the Dallas Cowboys in the Micah Parsons trade. Saturday's loss by the Packers means the Cowboys will have a pair of top-20 picks in April.

The Dallas Cowboys are the biggest beneficiary of Saturday's playoff results.

Dallas locked into the No. 20 overall pick thanks to Green Bay's loss to the Chicago Bears. Green Bay and Carolina had the worst two records among the playoff participants.

The Cowboys already secured the No. 12 overall pick by way of their 7-9-1 regular-season record.

Green Bay won't participate in the 2026 NFL draft until the second round since it shipped its first-round pick to the Cowboys for Parsons, who tore his ACL in December and was not on the field in the wild-card round.

Carolina secured the No. 19 overall pick with its defeat to the Los Angeles Rams. The NFC South champion will have the highest pick of any of the playoff teams.

Positions Nos. 21-24 in the draft order will be determined through the results of the playoff games on Sunday and Monday.
