Jets updated 2026 NFL Draft order: New York could still get No. 1 pick

The Jets enter Week 18 holding onto the No. 3 draft pick in 2026, with the Raiders penciled in at No. 1 and the Giants at No. 2 after New York won the Tankathon Bowl against Las Vegas in Week 17. The Jets will almost certainly be picking in the Top 5, and they still have a very narrow path the first overall selection depending on the outcomes of Week 18 games.

To secure the first overall pick in 2026, the Jets would obviously have to lose to the Bills (seems doable), and the Raiders would have to beat

the Chiefs (which seems like more of a possibility this year than any other year in recent memory for Kansas City), and the Giants would have to beat the Cowboys (doable, but it doesn’t seem likely).

Here’s the current draft order heading into Sunday’s Week 18 games.
