Week 11 had some amazing games between top-tier teams — shout out to Chiefs-Bills and Ravens-Steelers — but for the purpose of this story, we’re going to divert our attention away from those matchups. Let’s talk about those in contention for the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
The Jacksonville Jaguars still hold the No. 1 spot after a historic defeat against the Detroit Lions, while the New York Giants — despite having a bye this week — dropped four spots to No. 5. Moving ahead of them were the Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns and Las Vegas Raiders, each of whom lost by double digits Sunday. Other notable teams picking in the top 10 are the New York Jets, who are now 3-8 after a loss to the Indianapolis Colts, and the Dallas Cowboys, who are touchdown underdogs against the Houston Texans on “Monday Night Football.”
CBSSports.com looks at where teams would be picking now that Week 11 is nearly complete. Also listed is each club’s pending free agents and potential needs based on those players who may be leaving.
The draft order, via Tankathon.com, is ordered by win-loss record and ties are broken by strength of schedule. Team needs are a combination of current needs and looking ahead to pending free agents. Notable pending free agents are listed rather than the full list.
