NFL Draft Order 2027

2027 NFL draft order before Week 1

If the season ended today. Picks 1 to 18 are the non-playoff clubs by the league’s procedure; the shaded block, picks 19 to 32, is the playoff clubs in record order, a placeholder until the postseason sets it. Every team is 0-0 before the first results, so the whole table reads as one tie and the shaded block is empty of meaning until then.

Tiebreaker rule: Clubs not in the playoffs pick 1 through 18 in reverse standings order; ties go to the club whose opponents had the lower aggregate won-lost-tied percentage, then to the divisional, conference, or interconference tiebreakers (the club that loses the standings tiebreaker picks first), then the coin toss. Playoff clubs pick 19 through 32 by exit round, then reverse standings.

How the NFL draft order tiebreaker works

Two non-playoff clubs with the same record are separated by strength of schedule: the combined won-lost-tied percentage of each club’s regular-season opponents, and the club that faced the weaker schedule picks first. If that is also equal, the league applies its standings tiebreakers, divisional, conference, or interconference as the pairing requires, and the club that loses the standings tiebreaker picks first. The coin toss is last. Net touchdowns cannot be worked out from final scores, so this page stops one step short and shows such a tie as tied.

Projected 2027 draft order by remaining schedule

Projected wins are current wins plus the sum of each remaining game’s model win chance. Fewest first, then lower strength of schedule, then tied. No simulation; every game counts as its win chance.

Win chances are MockSlate model numbers from the preseason ratings snapshot, not sportsbook lines. Records and strength of schedule are from final scores only.

Draft order FAQ

Who has the No. 1 pick right now?

No game is final yet, so every team is 0-0 and no one holds the first pick today. By projected wins the Miami Dolphins pick first at 4.26 expected wins. The model has every game still to play, so these are preseason numbers.

How are draft order ties broken?

Clubs not in the playoffs pick 1 through 18 in reverse standings order; ties go to the club whose opponents had the lower aggregate won-lost-tied percentage, then to the divisional, conference, or interconference tiebreakers (the club that loses the standings tiebreaker picks first), then the coin toss. Playoff clubs pick 19 through 32 by exit round, then reverse standings. Net touchdowns cannot be derived from final scores, so a tie that reaches that step is shown as tied, "depends on net touchdowns or coin toss."

Which teams have extra first-round picks in 2027?

The New York Jets hold 3 first-round picks: their own and the Packers and Colts picks. The Cleveland Browns hold 2 first-round picks: their own and the Rams pick. The Cowboys own their own pick and the Packers' pick and send the higher of the two to the Jets, so which slot each club gets is settled by where both finish.
