As the 2024 NFL season progresses, the 2025 NFL Draft order is beginning to take shape after Week 12. The teams with the worst records so far, including the Jacksonville Jaguars, New York Giants, and Las Vegas Raiders, are positioned to have the top draft picks.
These teams, each with a 2-9 record, are followed closely by others like the New England Patriots, Carolina Panthers, and Tennessee Titans, which are all in the mix for high draft positions. The strength of schedule (SOS) is a significant factor in determining the order, as it reflects the difficulty of each team’s opponents so far this season. Teams with similar records may find themselves in different draft positions based on this metric.
The 2025 NFL Draft is expected to feature several high-profile prospects, particularly at the quarterback position. Shedeur Sanders, the quarterback from Colorado, is currently the favorite to be selected as the No. 1 overall pick, with odds of +165. He is followed by Travis Hunter, a talented WR/CB also from Colorado, who has odds of +300. Other quarterbacks vying for the top spot include Cameron Ward of Miami (FL) and Jalen Milroe of Alabama, with odds of +900 and +2000, respectively. LSU offensive tackle Will Campbell is also a notable prospect for the top pick, with odds of +2200, signaling that teams might prioritize a top-tier offensive lineman.
The current draft order also shows a competitive race for positions in the middle of the pack. Teams like the Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, and Seattle Seahawks are closely bunched up, with records hovering around .500, and will be looking to secure a solid draft pick to build for the future. As the season continues, both performance and strength of schedule will play a role in reshuffling the order. The 2025 NFL Draft promises to be an exciting one, with teams targeting key positions to strengthen their rosters for the years to come.
