2026 NFL Draft Order Ahead of Week 18: Raiders In Pole Position for No. 1 Pick
Not only do we still have much of the playoff picture left to sort out in Week 18, but we also have much of the 2026 NFL Draft order to figure out entering the final week of the 2025 regular season.
The first 18 picks in the 2026 NFL Draft will officially be determined following Sunday's slate. We still don't know who'll have the No. 1 overall pick, either. However, the Las Vegas Raiders will get the No. 1 overall pick if they lose to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. If the Raiders win, the New York Giants would pass them in the draft order if they lose to the Dallas Cowboys.
Let's take a closer look at the 2026 NFL Draft order as Week 18 develops:
