2026 NFL Draft order after Week 13: Giants up to No. 2 spot after MNF loss; Rams now own top-10 overall pick

In the early window of games on Sunday of Week 13 in the NFL, the New York Jets and New Orleans Saints -- both of whom had two wins headed into the day -- had opportunities to win. The Jets won on a walk-off field goal from Nick Folk whereas a late potential go-ahead drive by the Saints fell short on fourth-and-1. 

There are two games featuring teams with four wins or fewer next week: Titans at Browns and Commanders at Vikings. All four of those teams are in the top 10 overall range. Week 14 is also the last week of byes.

As a reminder, there are four teams -- Atlanta, Green Bay, Indianapolis and Jacksonville -- without a first-round pick in 2026 as a result of draft-day trades and the Micah Parsons and Sauce Gardner deals. 

Here is the current 2026 NFL Draft order (via Tankathon) as well as potential team needs:

1. Tennessee Titans (1-11)

Projected needs: OT, IOL, WR, DL, EDGE

Jacksonville did not play with its food Sunday as the Titans were washed away with the tide. Tennessee has a firm grip on the No. 1 overall pick with a date against the Browns next weekend. 

2. New York Giants (2-11)

Projected needs: WR, CB, IOL, LB, OT

New York traveled to New England for "Monday Night Football" and got torched in Jaxson Dart's return from a concussion.

3. New Orleans Saints (2-10)

Projected needs: CB, S, DL, RB, WR

New Orleans was driving with a chance to take the lead over Miami in the final minute, but the Saints failed to convert a 4th-and-1 that would have kept the drive going in Dolphins territory. 

4. Las Vegas Raiders (2-10)

Projected needs: CB, LB, S, DL, OT

The Raiders offense was no more threatening in a post-Chip Kelly world. Ashton Jeanty has only broken 75 rushing yards once this season. 

5. Cleveland Browns (3-9)

Projected needs: OT, WR, QB, CB, IOL

Shedeur Sanders started the second game of his young NFL career, but, like others before him, was unable to get the Browns offense in gear.

6. Washington Commanders (3-9)

Projected needs: EDGE, LB, CB, TE, WR

Washington lost a heartbreaker in OT to Denver on "Sunday Night Football.'' Jayden Daniels is said to be nearing his return to the football field, but a return to the postseason is already out of reach.  

7. New York Jets (3-9)

Projected needs: QB, WR, DL, CB, TE

Redemption for Nick Folk! The 41-year-old converted a 56-yard field goal after the Jets had a false start earlier. 

8. Arizona Cardinals (3-9)

Projected needs: OT, IOL, LB, DL, RB

Arizona attempted to become the latest thorn in Tampa Bay's side, but its upset bid fell short. Since winning the first two games of the season, the Cardinals have lost nine of their last 10.

9. Los Angeles Rams via Atlanta Falcons (4-8)

Projected needs: CB, OT, LB, S, IOL

Atlanta and Kirk Cousins were involved in a tightly contested affair Sunday. Their loss was Los Angeles' gain as the Rams are currently in position to pick top 10 overall. 

10. Cincinnati Bengals (4-8)

Projected needs: IOL, CB, S, TE, EDGE

Joe Burrow must have shaken off the rust in practice because it looked as though he was back in midseason form; earlier than scheduled. The Bengals are still on the prowl. 

11. Minnesota Vikings (4-8)

Projected needs: LB, CB, S, DL, RB

Max Brosmer, J.J. McCarthy, the outcome is all the same. Minnesota has failed to score 20 points or more in four straight games. 

12. Miami Dolphins (5-7)

Projected needs: CB, WR, TE, IOL, S

Miami has won four of its last five games, including three straight. In theory, the Dolphins still have an outside shot at the playoffs.

13. Kansas City Chiefs (6-6)

Projected needs: DL, RB, CB, LB, TE

Kansas City's playoff hopes are very much hanging in the balance after losing to Dallas on Thanksgiving Day. There is a logjam in the AFC playoff race and the Chiefs can ill afford to lose any more ground. 

14. Pittsburgh Steelers (6-6)

Projected needs: QB, DL, WR, CB, IOL

Pittsburgh could not capitalize on Baltimore's Thanksgiving loss. The Steelers failed to score in the second half against the Bills.

15. Carolina Panthers (7-6)

Projected needs: CB, S, IOL, WR, DL

Carolina has been one of the most inconsistent teams of the season. The Panthers were demolished by the Bills and lost to the Saints, but then defeated the Packers and Rams. The Panthers may be just as capable of winning every game as they are losing. 

16. Dallas Cowboys (6-5-1)

Projected needs: S, LB, EDGE, RB, CB

Dallas has won three straight games with critical victories over the Eagles and Chiefs. The Cowboys' final five games set up well for the franchise to push for the NFC playoffs. 

17. Detroit Lions (7-5)

Projected needs: EDGE, DL, LB, CB, OT

Since winning four consecutive games in September and early October, the Lions have neither won nor lost back-to-back games. To continue on that trajectory, Detroit would need a win against the Cowboys on Thursday night. 

18. Houston Texans (7-5)

Projected needs: IOL, OT, TE, DL, S

Although the quarterback may have been different -- C.J. Stroud returned to the starting lineup for Davis Mills -- Houston, with backs against the wall, won its fourth consecutive game as the Colts loosen their grip on the AFC South lead.

19. Baltimore Ravens (6-6)

Projected needs: EDGE, DL, IOL, TE, CB

Baltimore had surged to regain the AFC North lead, but Cincinnati put an end to its five-game win streak on Thanksgiving.

20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-5)

Projected needs: LB, DL, EDGE, IOL, TE

Tampa Bay narrowly avoided losing its fourth consecutive game. Carolina is suddenly pushing for the NFC South title. 

21. Buffalo Bills (8-4)

Projected needs: S, LB, EDGE, CB, WR

The Bills have an opportunity to achieve some positive momentum going into the playoffs.

22. Philadelphia Eagles (8-4)

Projected needs: TE, CB, EDGE, S, IOL

In each of the past two weeks, A.J. Brown has eclipsed 100 receiving yards and in each of those two games, the Eagles have lost. Perhaps it would serve them well to have a bit less pressure on them. 

23. New York Jets via Indianapolis Colts (8-4)

Projected needs: LB, CB, EDGE, IOL, DL

Jets and Browns fans are equally attentive to the AFC South race, which has suddenly drawn even with five games to play. Cleveland holds the rights to Jacksonville's first-round pick and the Jets hold Indianapolis' pick.

24. San Francisco 49ers (9-4)

Projected needs: OT, IOL, DL, WR, TE

San Francisco did not need much to put away the Browns given its opposition's lack of offensive consistency. The 49ers were set up for an initial score by a long punt return and used a few well-timed explosives to score their remaining points. Cleveland actually outgained San Francisco, 253-252.

25. Los Angeles Chargers (8-4)

Projected needs: IOL, EDGE, CB, TE, DL

Justin Herbert suffered a fractured left hand against the Raiders, but helped the Chargers continue to keep pace in the AFC playoff hunt. 

26. Cleveland Browns via Jacksonville Jaguars (8-4)

Projected needs: OT, WR, QB, CB, IOL

Jacksonville has won three consecutive games and is now in the mix to win the AFC South. Sunday's outcome against the Titans was never in doubt.

27. Dallas Cowboys via Green Bay Packers (8-3-1)

Projected needs: S, LB, EDGE, RB, CB

Although the jerseys may have changed, Micah Parsons continued his personal tradition of playing on Thanksgiving. His new team and former team were victorious.

28. Seattle Seahawks (9-3)

Projected needs: CB, DL, IOL, S, WR

Sam Darnold enacted revenge on his former team as Minnesota has struggled to lock in on his replacement. Three teams in the NFC West have nine wins. 

29. Los Angeles Rams (9-3)

Projected needs: CB, OT, LB, S, IOL

Los Angeles' season suffered a surprising setback with Sunday's loss to the Panthers. Puka Nacua delivered a few highlight-reel moments.

30. Denver Broncos (10-2)

Projected needs: LB, TE, S, WR, OT

Denver escaped in OT in a wild game against Washington on "Sunday Night Football" and took over the No. 1 seed in the AFC in the process.

31. Chicago Bears (9-3)

Projected needs: DL, S, IOL, RB, OT

With five games remaining, it is neither the Eagles, Packers, 49ers or Lions with the NFC's best record; it is the Bears (along with the Rams). Ben Johnson has revitalized what had been a self-deprecating fan base in recent years. 

32. New England Patriots (11-2)

Projected needs: OT, TE, WR, LB, EDGE

The Patriots won their 10th straight game by dismantling a lowly Giants team on Monday night.
