Here's a look at the where the Jets stand in the race for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
The Jets started Sunday in position to pick No. 4 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, if the season had ended at that very moment. But Sunday was a reminder that the season is not over – it won’t be for another 34 days – and how quickly things can change.
The Jets picked up a gutsy win over the Falcons on Nick Folk’s 56-yard field goal as time expired. It gave them a rare moment of pure joy in an otherwise miserable season. But it also gave them another win, bringing their total to three, and moving them lower in the draft order for 2026. So how much did they fall? Here’s a look at where the NFL Draft order for the top 10 picks in 2026 stand with one game left to play in Week 13.Just a few weeks ago the Jets were projected firmly in the top 5. Now, they’re in the lower half of the top 10. So what happened? The Jets have won three of their last five after starting 0-7. That’s the obvious part. But this week was especially painful because the only other team in the top 10 of the draft order to win were the Cincinnati Bengals. The Giants will be trying to avoid their seventh straight loss on Monday night when they face the heavily favored Patriots in Foxborough, and the Jets will be hoping the Giants win to join them at three wins. But the problem is the Giants are not the only losing team with a long, active losing streak: the Titans and Commanders have both lost seven straight, the Raiders have lost six straight, and the Cardinals have lost four in a row. And suddenly all of them are real threats to pass the Jets, who are above .500 in their last five games. What about the Jets’ other draft picks for 2026, including the ones they got in the blockbuster trades with Dallas and Indianapolis?
