Giants & Raiders Meet in the 2026 Draft Bowl

The first-round draft order is posted below with three games to go. Currently, the GMen hold the 1st overall selection at 2-13. They are tied with the Raiders and by chance play this week in Las Vegas. With only two games remaining on the regular season schedule, this game could be the deciding matchup of the year for the top overall selection.

Here is the current first-round draft order following the 49ers win Monday night over the Colts who were eliminated from the playoffs.
Tie breakers are broken first by strength of schedule, then by head to head matchups.
