nfl draft order browns slotted with 2 top 20 picks after week 7

Travis Hunter, Greg Newsome trades have linked the Browns, Jaguars especially with the 2026 NFL draft order, now updated The Cleveland Browns and Jacksonville Jaguars will be linked for a while following their big trade during the 2025 NFL draft. The Jaguars saw two-way star Travis Hunter as the big piece they had to have, while the Browns acquired picks that have become DT Mason Graham and RB Quinshon Judkins, with Jacksonville’s 2026 first-round... There are some questioning how the Jags have used Hunter, given how much they gave up to get him. The two teams made another trade two weeks ago, exchanging CB Greg Newsome II for CB Tyson Campbell (along with a late draft pick exchange). Jacksonville is 0-2 since that deal, with Newsome only playing 34 snaps in two contests while Campbell played a huge role in Cleveland’s Week 7 victory.

Following two Monday Night Football games, the 2026 NFL draft order has changed a little bit, with the Browns now having two Top 20 selections after Week 7. Last week, Cleveland was slotted with picks #2 and 21. The Browns victory has their selections dropping a few spots: Things are all bad right now for the Cleveland Browns. On Sunday, they fell to 2-7 on the season, losing to the New York Jets, who entered the game with just one win. En route to the 27-20 final score, the Browns gave up a kick return touchdown and a punt return score, 127 rushing yards, and once again looked bad on offense.

While Cleveland has eight games left on the schedule, this season is beyond over. For fans, the rest of the games will be about getting in the best draft position possible. In that sense, Sunday was a great day for Cleveland’s race towards the top of the draft. With a ton of football left to be played, the Browns currently sit with the No. 4 pick in the 2026 Draft. With more losses certainly on the way, Cleveland could continue moving even closer to No.

1. With the Jets also being one of the worst teams in the NFL, Sunday’s result shook up the current top 10 order. Here’s a look at where things stand after the early slate of Week 10: The Browns are one of three 2-7 teams, with one of the other being the Jets, and the other one being the Las Vegas Raiders, who Cleveland will play in Week 12. The Browns will also play the Tennessee Titans and Cincinnati Bengals before the season is over, giving Cleveland a real opportunity to secure itself a high draft spot. While it’s paradoxical for fans to pull for their own team to lose, a high draft pick is nearly all Browns fans have to look forward to the rest of the season.

The only other thing Cleveland fans are anticipating is the debut of rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders, however, that doesn’t appear to be happening as quickly as everyone would like. It's never fun to look ahead toward the NFL Draft in November, but the fan bases of a select group of bottom feeders have no other choice. Take the Cleveland Browns, for example. If you wanted a sense of how badly things are going for them right now, they just lost a game to a 1-8 New York Jets team that just traded both Sauce Gardner and... Justin Fields had just 54 passing yards, yet the Jets still found a way to beat this Browns team. Wouldn't you rather look towards the draft in this instance, especially when considering the other results?

This loss was obviously inexcusable for Cleveland, but honestly, it helped the Browns quite a bit with the 2026 NFL Draft in mind. Now, both the Jets and Browns sit at 2-7 with New York holding the tiebreaker, meaning Cleveland would pick ahead of them in the NFL Draft. This could allow Cleveland to change the course of their franchise. Additionally, other bottom feeders like the Miami Dolphins and New Orleans Saints somehow found ways to beat teams that began Sunday's action above .500, meaning Cleveland's odds of getting the No. 1 pick just skyrocketed. With the results of Week 10's early slate in mind, here's a look at how the beginning of the 2026 NFL Draft is projected to shake out.

1. Tennessee Titans (1-8)2. New Orleans Saints (2-8)3. New York Giants (2-8)4. Cleveland Browns (2-7)5. New York Jets (2-7)6.

Las Vegas Raiders (2-7)7. Miami Dolphins (3-7)8. Washington Commanders (3-7)9. Cincinnati Bengals (3-6)10. Los Angeles Rams (via ATL (3-6))11. Arizona Cardinals (3-6)12.

Dallas Cowboys (3-5-1)13. Baltimore Ravens (4-5)14. Minnesota Vikings (4-5)15. Houston Texans (4-5)16. Carolina Panthers (5-5)17. Kansas City Chiefs (5-4)18.

San Francisco 49ers (6-4)19. Cleveland Browns (via JAX (5-4))20. Pittsburgh Steelers (5-4)21. Dallas Cowboys (via GB (5-3-1))22. Chicago Bears (6-3)23. Buffalo Bills (6-3)24.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-3)25. Detroit Lions (6-3)26. Los Angeles Chargers (7-3)27. Los Angeles Rams (7-2)28. New England Patriots (8-2)29. Seattle Seahawks (7-2)30.

Denver Broncos (8-2)31. Philadelphia Eagles (7-2)32. New York Jets (via IND (8-2)) The Tennessee Titans didn't play in Week 10, yet they might be the biggest winners of the week as earning the No. 1 overall pick for a second consecutive year is entirely in their control, giving them a great opportunity to build for the future. Losing out would guarantee Tennessee picks No.

1 overall. Behind the Titans, though, is a major logjam. Stay ahead with the latest 2025 NFL Cleveland Browns Draft Order, updated weekly. Mark your calendars — the 2025 NFL Draft takes place on April 23-25, 2026. Bookmark this page to see where the Browns stand every week on the road to the draft. NFL Week 10 action featured plenty of surprising results that shook up the projected order of the 2026 NFL Draft.

The New Orleans Saints entered the weekend in place for the No. 1 pick but thoroughly beat NFC South foe Carolina to drop from the top spot. The New York Jets got win No. 2 of the Aaron Glenn era over the Cleveland Browns, dropping down the order as well. Their neighbors, the New York Giants, squandered a lead and lost to the Chicago Bears to overtake them in the top three of the draft order. The Giants fired Brian Daboll following the loss - making it more likely they'll stay near the top of the draft order.

Those results leave Tennessee at the No. 1 pick after 10 weeks of NFL games. Tennessee already has a quarterback of the future and could be the first team to draft No. 1 overall in consecutive years since fellow AFC South franchise Jacksonville did so in 2021 and 2022. They'll likely take their top non-quarterback prospect in the class. Who that player is is up for debate but most likely a defensive player.
