New York Jets help Las Vegas Raiders move up 2026 NFL draft order

At this point in the season, winning games feels more like losing them, and vice versa, for teams like the Las Vegas Raiders and New York Jets. However, the Jets are still fighting and managed to get a win against the Atlanta Falcons, while the Raiders lost to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 13. That helps improve Las Vegas’ standing in the 2026 NFL draft order, as we take a look at the Top 10 via Tankathon.

Top 10 Order

1. Tennessee Titans 1-11 (Week 14: @ CLE)

2. New Orleans Saints 2-10 (Week 14: @ TB)

3. New York Giants* 2-10 (Week 14: bye)

4. Las Vegas Raiders 2-10 (Week 14: vs DEN)

5. Cleveland Browns 3-9 (Week 14: vs TEN)

6. Washington Commanders 3-9 (Week 14: @ MIN)

7. New York Jets 3-9 (Week 14: vs MIA)

8. Arizona Cardinals 3-9 (Week 14: vs LAR)

9. Los Angeles Rams via Atlanta Falcons 4-8 (Week 14: vs SEA)

10. Cincinnati Bengals 4-8 (Week 14: vs BUF)

*The Giants play the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football. If New York wins, Las Vegas will have the No. 3 overall pick heading into next weekend. A Giants’ loss means they flip spots with the Saints.

In Other Raiders’ Links:

• Chargers ground and pound Raiders: “Herbert suffered an injury to his non-throwing hand during the first drive of the game, but that didn’t matter much as the Chargers rushed 43 times for 192 yards (4.5 ypc) and two touchdowns as a team,” via Silver and Black Pride’s ‘What They’re Saying’ column. “Also, Los Angeles had plenty of success on third downs, converting their first six attempts and finishing with 12 conversions on 17 attempts.”

• Pete Carroll has no one to blame: “Here’s a hint, Pete, it’s all on you,” S&BP’s Bill Williamson wrote. “Sunday, Carroll’s Las Vegas Raiders hit the field and it was the same old crap — another uncompetitive defeat as they lost 31-14 at the Los Angeles Chargers. The Raiders are 2-10.”

• Carroll on hotseat: “The Las Vegas Raiders already fired offensive coordinator Chip Kelly amid their ongoing struggles, but more changes reportedly could be coming,” via Bleacher Report’s Doric Sam. “NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that Raiders head coach Pete Carroll appears to be ‘on the hot seat’ due to the team’s lack of success in his first year at the helm.“

• Justin Herbert breaks hand: The Chargers quarterback exited the game, and then later returned, with a broken hand and is scheduled to have surgery on Monday. Herbert is still expecting to play next Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
