The competition to secure better draft positions intensifies among seven teams with three or fewer victories, as they all hope for the top pick in the upcoming draft as a Christmas gift.

As Week 16 began, the Las Vegas Raiders and New York Giants were closely competing for the No. 1 draft pick for 2025. Both teams started with a dismal 2-12 record before their 15th games. However, following the Giants’ loss to the Atlanta Falcons earlier on Sunday, they were relegated to holding the top draft position.

The Raiders had an opportunity to regain the worst record in the league with a loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars later that day. Yet, second-year quarterback Aidan O’Connell led the Raiders to a surprising third victory of the season, throwing for 257 yards, which moved their draft pick down to No. 6.

Here’s the current draft order following the late games on Sunday in Week 16:
