2026 NFL Draft order: Patriots vs. Seahawks in Super Bowl LX will decide the final two first-round picks

The Super Bowl matchup between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks will determine the final two spots in the first round. The announcement of compensatory selections is the only other missing piece to all seven round of the 2026 NFL Draft being known. 

As a reminder, four teams -- Atlanta, Green Bay, Indianapolis and Jacksonville -- do not own a first-round pick in 2026 due to draft-day trades, including the Micah Parsons and Sauce Gardner deals.

Here is the current 2026 NFL Draft order:

The 2026 NFL Draft will take place April 23-25 in Pittsburgh. More draft coverage is available at CBS Sports, including weekly mock drafts and regular looks at eligible prospects.

1. Las Vegas Raiders (3-14)

Las Vegas over-extended last offseason by drafting a running back in the top-10 and trading for a 35-year-old quarterback despite having one of the league's worst rosters. As a result, they fired head coach Pete Carroll after one season and are now picking even earlier in the draft. 

2. New York Jets (3-14)

The Jets finished with one of the worst records in the league, but at least they have a plan and put themselves in a position to change the course of their franchise. Over the next two years, New York has five first-round picks. 

3. Arizona Cardinals (3-14)

Arizona made the decision to part with head coach Jonathan Gannon. It would not be a surprise if they moved on from Kyler Murray as well. The problem is that there are not a wealth of options to replace Murray.

4. Tennessee Titans (3-14)

The positive momentum Tennessee had built over the past month came to a frustrating end in the season finale. Still, Cam Ward's strong finish to the 2025 campaign should give Titans fans hope.

5. New York Giants (4-13)

There are reasons to be optimistic about Jaxson Dart's future with the franchise. He brought life to an offense that could have easily wallowed in self-pity following the Malik Nabers and Andrew Thomas injuries. If they get the head coach hire right, then maybe the a bounce back will happen sooner than most would expect.   

6. Cleveland Browns (5-12)

The Browns made the decision to part with head coach Kevin Stefanski after six seasons. He did lead the franchise to its first playoff win post-expansion, but may not be any closer to identifying the quarterback of the future. 

7. Washington Commanders (5-12)

Next season is an easy sell for Washington. If Jayden Daniels returns healthy, then they will be competitive once again, but there are a lot of needs on that roster. An attempt to microwave those weaknesses last offseason did not work out. 

8. New Orleans Saints (6-11)

The Saints' season ended just as fans were clamoring for more of Tyler Shough. He looks like the clear favorite to open next season as the starting quarterback, bringing a level of optimism that simply didn't exist earlier in the year.

9. Kansas City Chiefs (6-11)

Kansas City will enter next season in unfamiliar territory: the hungry underdog. Assuming Patrick Mahomes' full health, there is no reason to believe the Chiefs will not be in the mix again next season. They do have a deteriorating roster that desperately needs a youthful infusion. 

10. Cincinnati Bengals (6-11)

Joe Burrow made a notable attempt to get the Bengals into the playoffs after succumbing to an injury early in the season, but ultimately fell short. The offense will be in a spot to compete next season, but can the defense improve enough this offseason to get them enough stops?

11. Miami Dolphins (7-10)

Fans can say what they want about the Mike McDaniel era in Miami, but few had such a recognizable aesthetic as the Dolphins' former coach. It is a fresh start for the organization with a new general manager, new head coach and presumably a new quarterback.

12. Dallas Cowboys (7-9-1)

Dallas is once again searching for answers this offseason. Dak Prescott was healthy and the team still failed to reach the playoffs with a new head coach. 

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

Atlanta fired Raheem Morris as head coach for a second time. They sent their first round pick to Los Angeles as part of the trade up for James Pearce Jr.

14. Baltimore Ravens (8-9)

For the first time since 2007, the Ravens will have a new head coach after firing John Harbaugh. It sounds as though the franchise chose Lamar Jackson -- who turned 29-years-old one day after Harbaugh's firing -- over the veteran coach. 

15. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-9)

Other organizations have been quick to make a head coaching change, but the Buccaneers are going down the path of firing coordinators rather than a change at the top. 

16. New York Jets via Indianapolis Colts (8-9)

Cornerback Sauce Gardner struggled to stay healthy and the Colts' pick being sent to New York rose precipitously by the week. 

17. Detroit Lions (9-8)

The coaching drain that took place after last season's run was likely understated in the moment given the presence Dan Campbell has over that organization, but that, along with a few veteran offensive line departures, led to a much more tumultuous season.

18. Minnesota Vikings (9-8)

J.J. McCarthy's season was volatile, which was once the expectation for a young quarterback. Recent rookie performances from Jayden Daniels and C.J. Stroud set unrealistic expectations for the majority. Caleb Williams is proof that situation matters. 

19. Carolina Panthers (8-9)

The team with the worst record in the NFL Playoffs, but also a home game, was the first punted from the postseason. Although not a desirable conclusion, the Panthers have to be pleased with how the season played out considering they picked top-10 overall in April. 

20. Dallas Cowboys via Green Bay Packers (9-7-1)

The team with the second worst record in the NFL Playoffs was also dispatched after building a 21-3 lead over the division rival Bears. It is going to be an interesting offseason for the Packers. 

21. Pittsburgh Steelers (10-7)

An offseason of change has already begun for Pittsburgh, as it replaced Mike Tomlin with Mike McCarthy. A decision from veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers looms. 

22. Los Angeles Chargers (11-6)

The Chargers are headed home for the season after falling to the Patriots in the wild card round.

23. Philadelphia Eagles (11-6)

A frustrating season, for fans and receivers alike, came to an end against the 49ers. The Eagles will be doing some soul searching this offseason but have already moved on from their offensive coordinator. 

24. Cleveland Browns via Jacksonville Jaguars (13-4)

The Jaguars have every reason to celebrate their accomplishments this season. Yes, they lost in the wild card round as the home team, but a year ago, they were making preparations for the No. 5 overall pick. The future is bright for a team who played most of this season without No. 2 overall selection Travis Hunter.

25. Chicago Bears (11-6)

It was a magical season for the Bears in Ben Johnson's first season. There is hope and expectation where it had not been a year ago. 

26. Buffalo Bills (12-5)

The stage was set for Josh Allen to excel in a playoff setting that excluded the likes of Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson, but it ended the same as every other year -- in heartbreak. Sean McDermott is out of a job as a result. 

27. San Francisco 49ers (12-5)

San Francisco perhaps exceeded expectation this season considering the injuries and drama with wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. They will be replacing defensive coordinator Robert Saleh once again. 

28. Houston Texans (12-5)

C.J. Stroud was awful to end the season, but the Texans should return the majority of its league-leading defense. 

29. Los Angeles Rams (12-5)

For the second and final time this season, the Rams have fallen to the Seahawks. 

30. Denver Broncos (14-3)

Denver suffered the rare win that felt like a loss in the divisional round. It was learned after the game that Bo Nix had broken his ankle and would miss the AFC Championship. The season ended in the conference championship against New England. 

30. New England Patriots (14-3)

New England has returned to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2019. 

32. Seattle Seahawks (14-3)

Seattle returns to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2015 when it played the Patriots. Mike Macdonald has built one of the league's most dominant defenses.
