We're officially past the midway point of the 2025 NFL regular season, which means we're halfway to solidifying the early tiers of the 2026 NFL Draft order.
The race for the No. 1 overall pick is still a three-team affair after Week 9, with the New Orleans Saints and Tennessee Titans both leading the way, half a game ahead of the New York Jets thanks to bye weeks. It's still tight, though, as five more two-win teams are waiting right behind them.

1. New Orleans Saints
2. Tennessee Titans
3. New York Jets
4. Miami Dolphins
