2026 nfl draft order updated first round picks after raiders msn

With the 2026 regular season officially behind us, the first 18 picks of the NFL draft have been determined. Every team that didn’t make the playoffs has already learned their fate in terms of April’s draft order. The remaining 14 will be determined through playoff results. And as the playoffs progress, we’ll get more of a clear picture of the entire draft order. The wild-card round is at its end, and when the Texans-Steelers game concludes, we’ll have the draft order for the first 24 picks. Once the divisional round concludes, we’ll know the top 28, and the top 30 will be provided after the conference championships.

Lastly, of course, the Super Bowl will determine the remaining two spots. So, with wild-card weekend concluding, let’s take a look at the updated 2026 NFL draft order as we head into the divisional round of the playoffs. Green Bay Packers (pick owned by Cowboys) Jacksonville Jaguars (pick owned by Browns) The Las Vegas Raiders secured the No. 1 overall pick after going 3-14.

Behind them, there are more than a dozen teams looking to change their fortunes heading into next season. Fourteen teams are heading to the postseason, but 18 can start preparing for the offseason. Sunday's Week 18 games wrapped up a hectic regular season -- and the action won't stop any time soon with the playoff starting next weekend. But while the postseason seeds were set, so too were the first 18 picks of the 2026 NFL Draft. The Las Vegas Raiders secured the No. 1 overall pick after going 3-14.

Behind them, there are more than a dozen teams looking to change their fortunes heading into next season. This is a look at the first-round order for the 2026 NFL Draft heading into the Wild Card Round of the playoffs. The order is determined by record, using strength of schedule as the first tiebreaker (click here to see a full list of the draft-order tiebreakers). Keep in mind -- teams that made the playoffs are marked as PL (short for playoffs) in the order below. The draft order for playoff teams is determined by the results of postseason play. Arrows reflect movement from last week's order.

While there’s a long way to go between now and draft day, it certainly feels like a fait accompli that the Raiders will pick a quarterback in the first round for the first time... The Jets tore things down to the studs at the trade deadline and now have a pile of draft assets to help them reset, including four of the top 50 picks. It looks messy in Arizona after the team’s collapse following a 2-0 start to the season. The first priority has to be charting a path forward at the quarterback position, with Kyler Murray’s future murky. Much has been made about the NFL playoff picture, but there is also a race to the bottom in the battle for the No. 1 pick.

The Las Vegas Raiders officially won the race to the bottom and will have the No. 1 pick. Las Vegas is in a four-way tie atop the NFL draft order with the New York Jets, Arizona Cardinals and Tennessee Titans. All four teams finished at 3-14, but the Raiders own the tiebreaker as a result of having an easier strength of schedule. Here’s a look at the current NFL draft order. We will continue to update the list of picks as the Week 18 games are completed.

The countdown is officially on for the 2026 NFL draft, which starts on April 23, in Pittsburgh. As a reminder, each playoff team’s draft order is determined by the postseason results. Here’s a look at the current NFL draft order for all the first-round picks in 2026, per Tankathon. The Raiders have lost 10 straight games, including in Week 17 game against the Giants. Steve Marcus / Getty Images Whether or not it was an official attempt to “tank,” the Las Vegas Raiders didn’t put up much of a fight in a 34-10 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday.

That result puts the Raiders firmly in line to land the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. With one week remaining in the regular season, we actually know the top seven teams in the draft order, although there still could be some shuffling among that group. The order for picks 19-32 will be decided by playoff results — teams eliminated in the wild-card round will be placed into slots 19-24; divisional-round losers will hold picks 25-28, and so on. (Current playoff teams are designated by asterisks below.) The first tiebreaker for draft positioning is strength of schedule, with the team that’s faced an easier schedule receiving the higher pick. Following the New York Giants' upset win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 18, the Raiders officially secured the No.

1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The Raiders were able to secure the No. 1 overall pick despite defeating the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday because they had the tiebreaker over the three other three-win teams, holding the worst strength of schedule of the group. Following the Raiders, the New York Jets will have the No. 2 overall pick. The Arizona Cardinals have the No.

3 pick. The Tennessee Titans and Giants round out the top five. In what would've been viewed as a major surprise in the preseason, the Washington Commanders, Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals will each hold a top-10 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft going into... The first 18 picks of the 2026 NFL Draft have now been determined. Here's a closer look at how the draft order looks ahead of the start of the playoffs.

With the regular season finished, the Raiders hold the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Las Vegas locked in the top spot thanks to the Giants' win over the Cowboys and will almost certainly be in the market for a quarterback when it goes on the clock on April... The Giants, meanwhile, joined the Browns as teams that went from contending for the top pick to losing valuable draft position after closing the regular season with two straight wins. Behind the Raiders, the Jets, Cardinals, Titans and Giants round out the top five. As a reminder, there are four teams -- Atlanta, Green Bay, Indianapolis and Jacksonville -- without a first-round pick in 2026 as a result of draft-day trades and the Micah Parsons and Sauce Gardner...

Here is the current 2026 NFL Draft order (via Tankathon):
