The 2026 NFL Draft order nearly became upended during Sunday's slate of games. At one time, it looked as though the Jets, Dolphins and Saints -- who entered the day with two combined wins -- could escape with victories. But none of that came to fruition, keeping the top five the same (the Lamar Jackson-less Ravens also lost again).

The Raiders, Panthers and Giants were the only teams with three or more losses to win this week. Next week brings a matchup between the one-win Browns and the one-win Dolphins, so the order is bound to be disrupted.
