2026 NFL Draft Order Ahead of Sunday's Week 17 Games

The No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft could be at stake Sunday.

In a matchup between the NFL's only two-win teams this season, the loser of the New York Giants-Las Vegas Raiders game will control its own destiny to get the first overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft entering Week 18.

There are some other games this weekend that will have a big impact on next year's draft order. The Dallas Cowboys' chances of getting a top-10 pick essentially went away with their win on Christmas Day, while the Washington Commanders guaranteed themselves a top-10 pick with their loss on Thursday. 

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Rams are in a rare situation where a win would improve their draft capital. They own the Atlanta Falcons' first-round pick this year, so a victory on Monday Night Football would improve the Rams' chances of getting a top-10 pick in April's draft. 

Let's take a closer look at the 2026 NFL Draft order as Week 17 develops:
