2025 NFL Draft order: Where Patriots stand in first round after Week 15 originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The top five picks in the 2025 NFL Draft remain up for grabs with only three weeks left in the regular season.
After their loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football, the Las Vegas Raiders currently own the first overall pick at 2-12, while the New York Giants have the second pick with a 2-12 record as a result of their loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
The New England Patriots, Jacksonville Jaguars, Carolina Panthers, Tennessee Titans, and Cleveland Browns follow with 3-11 records and strength of schedule as the tiebreaker. After the Patriots’ 30-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, they still own the No. 3 pick in 2025 because they have the weakest strength of schedule (opponents’ combined winning percentage of .466) of any 3-11 team.
Here’s the updated order for the top 10 picks in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. This chart will be updated as more Week 15 games conclude.

Those hoping for a higher Patriots draft pick can take solace in the team’s rest-of-season schedule. After visiting the Cardinals, New England has a grueling three-game stretch that includes two tough games against the Buffalo Bills:
-
Week 16: at Buffalo Bills
-
Week 17: vs. Los Angeles Chargers
-
Week 18: vs. Buffalo Bills
Monday’s Raiders-Falcons and Chicago Bears-Minnesota Vikings games will be worth monitoring for those keeping tabs on the 2025 draft order. If both Las Vegas and Chicago lose, they’ll give New England even stiffer competition for a top-five spot.
This post will be updated throughout Week 15.
