2025 NFL Mock Draft: Rookie quarterbacks Drake Maye, Bo Nix and Jayden Daniels get offensive help

There are three games remaining in the NFL regular season. Each week gets us one step closer to a concrete 2025 NFL Draft order. A lot is at stake for teams in position to select early. Two years ago, division rivals Houston and Indianapolis were locked in a battle for top five selections. In Week 17, the two teams met and Lovie Smith willed his Texans team to an improbable one-point victory. Chicago got the first overall pick as a result and traded the pick to Carolina, which selected Alabama quarterback Bryce Young. Houston “settled” for C.J. Stroud. 

Fast forward to 2024 and there are still games of consequence. Here is how the teams slated to pick top 10 overall would rank based on remaining strength of schedule, from lowest to highest:

1. Jaguars (No. 4 overall, .262)
2. Raiders (No. 1 overall, .381)
3. Titans (No. 6 overall, .429)
4. Saints (No. 10 overall, .476)
5. Browns (No. 7 overall, .500)
6. Panthers (No. 5 overall, .524)
7. Jets (No. 8 overall, .595)
8. Giants (No. 2 overall, .595)
9. Bears (No. 9 overall, .714)
10. Patriots (No. 3 overall, .714)

Without further ado, let’s kick this off!
