by 2025 NFL Draft order: Where Patriots stand in the first round after Week 15 originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The top five picks in the 2025 NFL Draft remain up for grabs with just three weeks left in the regular season.
Following their loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football, the Las Vegas Raiders currently hold the first overall pick at 2-12, while the New York Giants hold the second pick with a 2-12 record following their loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
The New England Patriots, Jacksonville Jaguars, Carolina Panthers, Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns follow with 3-11 records and a strong schedule as a tiebreaker. After the Patriots’ 30-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, they still own the No. 3 pick in 2025 as they have the weakest strength of the schedule (combined opponents’ winning percentage of .466) of all 3-11 teams.
Here is the updated order for the top 10 picks in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. This chart will be updated as more Week 15 games conclude.

Those hoping for a higher draft pick from the Patriots can take solace in the team’s schedule for the remainder of the season. After visiting the Cardinals, New England has a grueling three-game stretch, including two tough games against the Buffalo Bills:
-
Week 16: with Buffalo Bills
-
Week 17: vs. Los Angeles Chargers
-
Week 18: vs. Buffalo Bills
Monday’s Raiders-Falcons and Chicago Bears-Minnesota Vikings games will be worth keeping an eye on for those keeping an eye on the 2025 draft order. If both Las Vegas and Chicago lose, New England will face even more competition for a spot in the top five.
This message will be updated during week 15.
