2026 NFL Draft Order: Raiders Secure No. 1 Pick, Jets Hold No. 2 Pick
The Las Vegas Raiders are on the clock.
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 offseason.
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.
