                        2026 NFL Draft order after Week 10: Saints' win shakes up the top spot, pushing a new team to the No. 1 pick
By: CBS Sports Posted On: November 09, 2025 View:

There was finally some shake-up atop the 2026 NFL Draft order Sunday. Three teams with two wins or fewer entering the day -- the Saints, Jets and Dolphins -- were victorious. The Giants and Raiders -- both of whom have two wins -- took this week's opponents to the brink before succumbing to defeat. The Titans are the only remaining team with one win or fewer.

Looking ahead to Week 11, there are two games featuring opponents with three wins or fewer: Commanders at Dolphins and Cowboys at Raiders.

As a reminder, there are four teams -- Atlanta, Green Bay, Indianapolis and Jacksonville -- without a first-round pick in 2026 as a result of draft-day trades and the Micah Parsons and Sauce Gardner deals.

Here is the current 2026 NFL Draft order, per Tankathon, as well as potential team needs:

Projected needs: OT, IOL, WR, DL, EDGE

The Titans move into sole possession of the No. 1 overall selection as the other two one-win teams were victorious.

Projected needs: CB, S, DL, RB, WR

New Orleans was a winner for just the second time this season. Second-round pick Tyler Shough willed a Rashid Shaheed-less offense to victory. 

Projected needs: IOL, OT, DL, CB, LB

The Giants had a comfortable lead, but fumbled it like Kevin from 'The Office' carrying a pot of chili. New York fans will be cautiously monitoring the injury report this week as rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart exited with a concussion.   

Projected needs: OT, WR, QB, CB, IOL

Cleveland's offense is horrible right now. They surrendered two special teams touchdowns and did not have the firepower to overcome a depleted Jets defense that traded Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams this week.

Projected needs: QB, WR, DL, CB, TE

The Jets rallied around the loss of Nick Mangold coming off the bye. Two special teams touchdowns sparked a victory in front of the hometown fans.

Projected needs: CB, LB, S, DL, OT

The Raiders were in another close game, but the offense was unable to muster anything in a loss to the Broncos.

Projected needs: CB, WR, TE, IOL, S

Miami knocked off rival Buffalo and it was arguably never close. The Dolphins held a 16-0 lead at halftime and never looked back. 

Projected needs: EDGE, LB, CB, TE, WR

Marcus Mariota made another start for the Commanders as Jayden Daniels is dealing with an injury that will sideline him for a chunk of the season. 

Projected needs: CB, OT, LB, S, IOL

Los Angeles' pick from Atlanta continues to rise as the Falcons dropped a game to Indianapolis on international soil.

Projected needs: IOL, CB, S, TE, EDGE

Cincinnati was on a bye this week as the franchise continues looking for answers on defense. 

Projected needs: OT, IOL, LB, DL, RB

Arizona feels like a franchise destined for significant offseason changes. Those changes may have already begun with Kyler Murray being soft-benched for Jacoby Brissett this season. Seattle doubled them up in Week 10. 

Projected needs: S, LB, EDGE, RB, CB

Cowboys fans will have to wait another week for the debut of All-Pro defensive tackle Quinnen Williams. Coming off the bye week, Dallas travels to Las Vegas. 

Projected needs: EDGE, DL, IOL, TE, CB

Baltimore has now won three straight games as objects are closer than they appear in Pittsburgh's side mirror.

Projected needs: LB, CB, S, DL, RB

J.J. McCarthy completed less than 50% of his pass attempts in a loss to Baltimore. Minnesota is falling out of the NFC North race.

Projected needs: IOL, OT, TE, DL, S

Houston outscored Jacksonville 26-0 in the fourth quarter to steal a victory from its division rival. Davis Mills led the comeback as this game was neck and neck until a Sheldon Rankins touchdown return salted away the game.

Projected needs: CB, S, IOL, WR, DL

Carolina has been one of the most confusing teams of the season. After a three-game winning streak, they got walloped by the Bills and beat the Packers. The latest twist in the team's fate is a loss to the Saints. 

Projected needs: DL, RB, CB, LB, TE

Kansas City is on a bye this week, but returns against the Broncos in Week 11.

Projected needs: OT, IOL, DL, WR, TE

Mac Jones was incredibly effective as he once again got the start for an injured Brock Purdy. The 49ers were unable to establish anything on the ground as Sean McVay's Rams ran away from them. 

Projected needs: OT, WR, QB, CB, IOL

Jacksonville was leading 29-10 heading to the fourth quarter with Davis Mills at quarterback for Houston. The Texans scored 26 straight to steal a win. 

Projected needs: QB, DL, WR, CB, IOL

The Steelers' once comfortable lead in the AFC North is down to a game over the streaking Ravens after Sunday night's blowout loss to the Chargers.

Projected needs: S, LB, EDGE, CB, WR

Buffalo was active seeking trade partners ahead of the deadline, but nothing materialized. The Bills needed all the help they could get in a lopsided defeat by the rival Dolphins. 

Projected needs: DL, S, IOL, RB, OT

Caleb Williams orchestrated two late touchdowns to surge from behind against the Giants. Chicago is very much alive in the NFC playoff picture.

Projected needs: LB, DL, EDGE, IOL, TE

Coming off a bye week, the Buccaneers fell short against the Patriots. It was a back and forth game between two of the league's best.

Projected needs: EDGE, DL, LB, CB, OT

Sunday was a big night for Jared Goff, Jahmyr Gibbs and the entire Lions offense as they doubled Washington's score. Detroit is once again competing for a top seed in the NFC.

Projected needs: S, LB, EDGE, RB, CB

Green Bay hosts the Eagles on Monday Night Football. 

Projected needs: IOL, EDGE, CB, TE, DL

The Chargers keep pace in the AFC West with the Broncos thanks to a dominant win over the Steelers.

27. Los Angeles Rams (7-2)

Projected needs: CB, OT, LB, S, IOL

Los Angeles is playing complementary football in Matthew Stafford's age 37 season. The Rams knocked off San Francisco to stay within reach of the Seahawks.

Projected needs: OT, TE, WR, LB, EDGE

New England rookies TreVeyon Henderson and Kyle Williams stepped up Sunday as the Patriots asserted themselves as a team to be reckoned with in the NFL.  

Projected needs: TE, CB, EDGE, S, IOL

Coming off its bye week, Philadelphia travels to Green Bay in a game that will impact NFC hierarchy. 

Projected needs: LB, TE, S, WR, OT

Bo Nix and the Denver offense were not impressive against the Raiders Thursday night, but they managed enough to retain their lead.

Projected needs: CB, DL, IOL, S, WR

Seattle kicked an already down-and-out Cardinals team on Sunday. The Seahawks are sound on both sides of the ball and flexed their muscle in front of the 12th Man. 

Projected needs: LB, CB, EDGE, IOL, DL

The Colts scored an overtime win over the Falcons in Germany as they continue their bid for the AFC South.
