In Week 17, there was a big change at the top of the 2025 NFL Draft standings. The New York Giants, who controlled their own destiny and acquired the No. 1 pick, scored 45 points to defeat the Indianapolis Colts. If that wasn’t enough, the Jacksonville Jaguars defeated the Tennessee Titans and the Las Vegas Raiders won their second straight after winning just two of their first 14 games to begin the season. According to CBS Sports research, this is the first time since 2005 that three teams with three or fewer wins clinched wins in the same week and for the first time since Week 17.
As a result, we got the following results: Currently, the New England Patriots hold the top spot, followed by the Titans, Browns, Giants, and Jaguars. If the Patriots lose to the Bills in Week 18, they will officially have the No. 1 pick.
