NFL Draft 2025 Selection Order – The Patriots are ‘On the Clock’!
Patriots, Titans, Browns, Giants & Jaguars Hold Current Top 5 Selections
2025 NFL Draft Selection Order
With just one game remaining on the regular season schedule the NFL Draft order has begun to take shape. The Patriots, Titans, Browns and Giants hold the top four selections with each club at 3-13. A few of these clubs are on their 3rd starting QB after several injuries and poor performances forcing weekly changes at the position.
The five teams are tied at 4-12 and all are possible of winning the draft derby for the 1st overall selection. It is the usual suspects in the top ten with several pretenders near the .500 mark, hoping to get hot down the stretch and earn a wild card position. The top 18 positions will be determined after the 17-game season with the final 12 spots decided by playoffs results. The Super Bowl teams will hold the 31st and 32nd positions.
The strength of schedule % will determine the final positions of all tied teams. The SOS is based on all of each team’s opponents record. Each succeeding round, the tied teams will rotate up within their tied bracket.

Playoffs – Conference & Super Bowl games determine final positions
Team tie-breaking procedure for the NFL Draft
If two or more clubs are tied in the selection order, the strength-of-schedule tie breaker is applied, subject to the following exceptions for playoff clubs: The Super Bowl winner is last and the Super Bowl loser next-to-last. Any non-Super Bowl playoff club involved in a tie shall be assigned priority within its segment below that of non-playoff clubs and in the order that the playoff clubs exited from the playoffs. Within a tied segment a playoff club that loses in the Wild-Card game will have priority over a playoff club that loses in the Divisional playoff game that in turn will have priority over a club that loses in the Conference Championship game. If two tied clubs exited the playoffs in the same round, the tie is broken by strength of schedule. If any ties cannot be broken by strength of schedule, the divisional or conference tie breakers, when applicable, are applied. Any ties that still exist are broken by a coin flip.
