Week 16 of the 2024 NFL regular season was a big one for the top of the 2025 NFL Draft order, and a few fan bases might be angry about their team scoring an on-field win at the expense of a higher draft slot come April.
The Las Vegas Raiders tumbled from the No. 1 overall pick out of the top five entirely, thanks to a victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, who are now back in the top three. That win could mean losing out on one of the top two quarterback prospects in this year's class, as the Raiders are now currently stuck behind a couple of other QB-needy teams in the Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns.
Despite high expectations in the offseason, both the New York Jets and Chicago Bears are currently on track for top-10 selections, while the Cincinnati Bengals keep climbing their way out of the cellar and further down the draft board.
