We’re more than halfway through the NFL season, and while many teams are aiming for the Super Bowl, others are vying for an unfortunate but rewarding prize: the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
It’s becoming more and more likely that the suddenly red Carolina Panthers won’t end up as the last team in the league. But the New York Giants have that possibility. On Sunday, Bryce Young’s Panthers defeated the Giants in Germany (New York lost five straight). The Jacksonville Jaguars are also playing for that honor and currently hold the No. 1 spot. There are currently six teams with just two wins.
CBSSports.com takes a look at where teams will pick now that Week 10 is over. It also lists each club’s pending free agents and potential needs based on players who may leave.
Draft order via Tankathon.com is ordered by win-loss record, with ties broken by strength of schedule. The team’s needs are forward-looking with current needs and pending free agents. Notable pending free agents are listed and are not a complete list.
Who is the frontrunner to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft? Visit FanDuel to find out.
