Raiders Lose to the GMen in the 2026 NFL Draft Bowl

The first-round draft order is posted below with one game to go. Currently, the Raiders hold the 1st overall selection at 2-14 after another debacle in a head to head matchup with the GMen. It gives the Raiders sole possession of the #1 overall selection with just a final home game vs the Chiefs to secure the coveted 1st overall draft choice. The Giants are one of four teams at 3-13 and possibilities of moving into the first position.  The Giants host the Cowboys to complete an absolute nightmare season.

Here is the current first-round draft order following the Falcons win Monday night over the Rams.

Tie breakers are broken first by strength of schedule, then by head to head matchups.
