Week 6 2025 NFL Draft order: Where Patriots, Jaguars, Raiders, Browns and Dolphins standÂ
Week 5 of the 2024 NFL season is almost over, and with the Jacksonville Jaguars' win against the Indianapolis Colts, there are no winless teams left in the league.
Seven teams, namely the Cleveland Browns, Tennessee Titans, Jacksonville Jaguars, New England Patriots, Cincinnati Bengals, Los Angeles Rams, and the Carolina Panthers, have won only one game so far.
Apart from the Bengals and the Rams, the rest of these teams are expected to have a high pick in next year's draft. Here's the 2025 NFL Draft order heading into Week 6 of the season:
2025 NFL Draft Order heading into Week 6
After simulating the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans Saints (Chiefs win 32-29), Sportskeeda's NFL Playoff Predictor has this draft order going into Week 6:
The Patriots, Panthers, and Browns currently have the first three picks of the next year's draft, and not many will be surprised if these three teams finish with the worst record in the league.
As the season progresses, we expect teams like the Bengals, Rams, and Dolphins to win more games and compete for a playoff spot. In the case of the Raiders, Titans, and Jaguars, these teams do have talented players to win games, but at the same time, based on what we have seen so far this season, they could easily finish the year among the five worst teams in the NFL.
As per Tankathon, among the 10 teams with the worst record heading into Week 6, this is their ranking based on the strength of their remaining schedule:
(Toughest to easiest)
- Carolina Panthers
- San Francisco 49ers
- Tennessee Titans
- Cleveland Browns
- Jacksonville Jaguars
- Las Vegas Raiders
- Los Angeles Rams
- Cincinnati Bengals
- New England Patriots
- Miami Dolphins
The Panthers have the toughest fixtures left as they have to face the likes of the Kansas City Chiefs, Dallas Cowboys, Washington Commanders, and the rest of the NFC South teams who have started the season well.
The Dolphins are expected to have Tua Tagovailoa back in Week 8, and since they have the easiest set of fixtures left in the entire NFL, they can still make a push for the playoffs.
As for the Patriots, they currently have the fifth easiest schedule left in the league, and with Drake Maye potentially starting next week, they might climb their way up in the standings.
The Browns still have to face the Chiefs, Eagles, Chargers, and Broncos along with the other AFC North teams, and there is a huge possibility that Deshaun Watson might not finish the year as their starting quarterback.
