The one silver lining to the Las Vegas Raiders’ Week 9 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars is that it can help improve the Raiders’ positioning in the 2026 NFL Draft order. However, the problem is that Las Vegas is still outside the Top 5 picks, and its path is murky to get into that range with so many other bad teams in the NFL this year. That could impact the organization’s ability to get a new quarterback, as we take a look at the updated Top 10 picks.

Top 10 Picks

  1. New Orleans Saints 1-8 (Week 10: @ Panthers)
  2. Tennessee Titans 1-8 (Week 10: bye)
  3. New York Jets 1-7 (Week 10: vs. Browns)
  4. Miami Dolphins 2-7 (Week 10: vs Bills)
  5. New York Giants 2-7 (Week 10: @ Bears)
  6. Cleveland Browns 2-6 (Week 10: @ Jets)
  7. Las Vegas Raiders 2-6 (Week 10: vs. Broncos TNF)
  8. Arizona Cardinals 2-5* (Week 10: @ Seattle)
  9. Cincinnati Bengals 3-6 (Week 10: bye)
  10. Washington Commanders 3-6 (Week 10: vs Lions)
