The Tennessee Titans hold the No. 1 spot in the 2026 NFL Draft order with a 1-9 record following Week 11. Miami Dolphins' recent wins have pushed them out of top quarterback selection range, while the Los Angeles Rams secured a top-10 pick via trade from the Atlanta Falcons. Several teams, including the New York Giants and Cleveland Browns, remain in prime position at 2-9 and 2-8.
Week 11 of the NFL season brought more predictable outcomes compared to the chaotic Week 10, reshaping the projected order for the 2026 NFL Draft set for April 23-25 in Pittsburgh. The Titans stayed at the top after nearly forcing overtime against the Houston Texans but falling on a last-second field goal, maintaining their 1-9 record. Projected needs for Tennessee include OT, IOL, WR, DL, and EDGE.
The New York Giants sit at No. 2 with a 2-9 mark after a competitive loss to the Green Bay Packers, where Jameis Winston provided energy following Jaxson Dart's concussion. Their needs focus on WR, CB, IOL, LB, and OT. The Cleveland Browns, at 3rd with 2-8, struggled offensively with Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, despite a strong defensive effort in a loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Needs: OT, WR, QB, CB, IOL.
The New Orleans Saints round out the top five at No. 4 (2-8) after a bye week. The New York Jets (No. 5, 2-8) lost to the New England Patriots after an early lead, with Justin Fields starting. Las Vegas Raiders (No. 6, 2-8) fell 33-16 to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football.
Notable performances included Matthew Stafford of the Rams completing 15 of 28 passes for 130 yards and two touchdowns in a 21-19 win over the Seattle Seahawks, leading the NFL with 27 passing touchdowns. Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington had a career-best 67 yards on four receptions, including a 31-yard catch against the Bengals. Four teams—Atlanta Falcons, Green Bay Packers, Indianapolis Colts, and Jacksonville Jaguars—lack first-round picks due to prior trades involving Micah Parsons and Sauce Gardner.
Lower in the order, the Denver Broncos improved to 9-2 with a 22-19 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on a last-second field goal, while the Philadelphia Eagles dominated the Detroit Lions 16-9 to hold the NFC's No. 1 seed.
