2025 NFL Draft order after Week 10: Jaguars take over top spot, Giants climb to No. 2 after loss to Panthers

We’re more than halfway through the NFL season, and while plenty of teams have Super Bowl aspirations, others are vying for an unfortunate yet rewarding prize: the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

It’s looking more and more like the suddenly red-hot Carolina Panthers will not end up as the worst team in the league. However, the New York Giants just might. On Sunday, the Bryce Young-led Panthers beat the Giants (New York’s fifth straight loss) in Germany. The Jacksonville Jaguars are also making a play for that honor and currently hold the No. 1 spot. There are now SIX teams with just two wins. 

CBSSports.com looks at where teams would be picking now that Week 10 is complete. Also listed is each club’s pending free agents and potential needs based on those players who may be leaving. 

The draft order, via Tankathon.com, is ordered by win-loss record and ties are broken by strength of schedule. Team needs are a combination of current needs and looking ahead to pending free agents. Notable pending free agents are listed rather than the full list. 

Who is currently the betting favorite to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft? Head on over to FanDuel to find out.
