With the Jets' and Giants' seasons officially ending on Sunday, it's time to look ahead. To the NFL Draft, in particular.
The Giants (4-13), who entering last week's game held the No. 1 spot, will pick fifth after finishing the season on a two-game winning streak. The Giants' 34-17 win over the Cowboys on Sunday helped the Jets (3-14), who moved up to the No. 2 spot after Sunday's 35-8 loss at Buffalo.
The Raiders (3-14) will pick first despite snapping a 10-game losing streak with a 14-12 win over Kansas City on Sunday. Las Vegas secured the No. 1 pick when the Giants beat the Cowboys. The Jets need a quarterback, but so do the Raiders, so it's unlikely they'll be able to move up to the top spot.
The Cardinals (3-14) have the No. 3 pick and the Titans (3-14) have the No. 4 pick. Rounding out the top 10 are the Browns at No. 6, Commanders at No. 7, Saints at No. 8, Kansas City at No. 9 and Cincinnati at No. 10.
