The end of the 2024 NFL season isn’t just about which teams will play themselves into playoff contention. It’s also about which teams will set themselves up to hold premium picks in the 2025 NFL draft.
Fans of the Las Vegas Raiders and New York Giants haven’t had much to cheer about in 2024, but at least there is a silver lining to their terrible seasons. Both teams are in the running for the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL draft, so at this point, losing might be the best option for each squad.
Those two teams complied with their fans’ wishes. The Raiders lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 28-13 in a game during which quarterback Aidan O’Connell was carted off in an air cast with a knee injury. Meanwhile, the Giants nearly came from 11 down against the New Orleans Saints, but Graham Gano‘s game-tying field goal with just seconds remaining in regulation was blocked, giving the Saints a 14-11 win.
But the Jacksonville Jaguars, who held the top pick entering Week 14, found a way to win. They earned a 10-6 victory in a defensive battle against the Tennessee Titans. Tank Bigsby scored the decisive – and only – touchdown of the game while Mac Jones overcame a couple of first-half interceptions in a to play a clean second half.
As a result, Jacksonville no longer has the inside track for the No. 1 pick. The Raiders and Giants will jockey for that ignominious honor while the Jaguars, among others, lurk among the three-win teams looking to get in the mix for the top selection.
Here’s a look at the updated draft order as results come in for the NFL’s Week 14 Sunday slate.
