For some teams, Week 18 is about clinching a trip to the NFL Playoffs to compete for the Super Bowl. For many others, Week 18 is about clinching a marquee spot in the upcoming NFL Draft. With several teams in contention for the No. 1 overall pick, the 2025 NFL Draft order is going to undergo changes in Week 18.
The 2025 NFL Draft does not carry as much punch as previous years with a rather thin quarterback class. However, there are a lot of talented players near the top of the draft boards and a lot of desperate teams who want to add that talent.
The New England Patriots could lock up the No. 1 overall pick and trade down to add more assets around Drake Maye; Tennessee could pick its quarterback of the future with the No. 1 overall pick and Cleveland may be able to kickstart its next era, whatever that may look like.
A lot of NFL fans are going to be curious about the 2025 NFL Draft order as the Week 18 results trickle in. We have you covered. (Note: Picks 19-32 are determined by order of exit in the NFL Playoffs).

Updated live during Sunday's Week 18 slate.
The New England Patriots came into Sunday with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and all the team had to do was lose to the Buffalo Bills to secure the pick.
Instead, Joe Milton led the Patriots to a win over Mitchell Trubisky and the Bills, plummeting New England outside of the top three as a result.
Therefore, the Tennessee Titans officially locked up the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Tennessee needs a quarterback with Will Levis proving he is not the guy and will now have the choice of quarterbacks (in what is a thin class).
New York is also quarterback hungry and it is hard to predict what the Browns are going to do. New England may still end up with a marquee player like Travis Hunter.
