2025 NFL Draft: Updated First-Round Order Following Week 18 Results
As the NFL regular season comes to a close, Week 18 has significant implications for the draft order, especially concerning the coveted No. 1 overall pick. Following the exciting slate of divisional matchups, fans and analysts alike are keeping a close eye on how the results will affect the 2025 NFL Draft order.
The Cleveland Browns entered the weekend positioned for the top pick; however, after a loss in their season finale, the Tennessee Titans have officially clinched the No. 1 overall selection in the upcoming draft. This marks a notable moment for the Titans, as their last No. 1 pick came in 1978 when they drafted Hall of Fame running back Earl Campbell, while they previously held the top pick in 2016 but traded it to the Los Angeles Rams.
