The Cleveland Browns entered Week 12 with a lot on the line, including the possibility of having the top overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft order heading into Week 13. Instead, the Browns destroyed the Las
Vegas Raiders behind a great defensive performance, with DE Myles Garrett leading the way, and a couple of timely throws from QB Shedeur Sanders in his starting debut.
Most Browns fans were rooting for a victory over NFL draft positioning and got their wish.
The Jacksonville Jaguars also returned to their winning ways in Week 12, which means both of the picks slotted for Cleveland in the first round of the 2026 NFL draft dropped a few spots heading into Week 13.
The Browns are currently slotted with the sixth overall pick while the 7-4 Jaguars are at #22.
Here is the current order, per Tankathon:

Cleveland has an interesting schedule with the Niners, Titans, Bears and Bills before finishing with the Steelers and Bengals. Jacksonville has the Jets and Colts (twice) left on its schedule, which could make its path to the NFL playoffs much easier.
What spot do you think the Browns will be selecting when the 2026 NFL draft rolls around in April?
