The New England Patriots have moved into the top position for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft following the New York Giants' victory over their opponent. As of Week 17, the Patriots currently hold the first pick with a record of 3-13. The Giants' win has also impacted the draft order, pushing them down to the fourth overall pick. The Patriots' chances of securing the top pick have increased to 78%. With one week remaining in the regular season, the Patriots can clinch the No. 1 pick if they lose to the Buffalo Bills, who have already secured the No. 2 seed. The Patriots are in a favorable position to potentially trade down and accumulate additional picks, a strategy that could be beneficial for the team as they look to rebuild. The projected draft order now lists the top five as: 1. Patriots, 2. Titans, 3. Giants, 4. Browns, and 5. Jaguars.
