Top 28 Positions in Place for First Round After Divisional Round Weekend

The first-round draft order posted below is complete through the top 28 selections. The Raiders hold the 1st overall selection at 3-14 despite winning their final game vs the Chiefs. The Giants won their final two games including their finale vs the Cowboys which pushed them to the 5th overall selection. There are four teams at 3-14 and they will rotate up in the ensuing rounds.

The remaining four teams include the two conference bye teams, Seattle and Denver who will host the title games this weekend. The LA Rams and New England were both at or near the top of their conferences throughout the season. The NFL got the four best clubs for the conference championship.

Here is the current first-round draft order following the Divisional round over the weekend. Tie breakers are broken first by strength of schedule, then by head to head matchups.
