Week 5Β NFL action is complete. It is very early in the regular season to project the eventual 2025 NFL Draft order, but there is a large enough sample size to project how several teams will fare. For example, the Bengals may not be a playoff team after starting the season 1-4, while the Commanders and Vikings — one with a rookie quarterback and the other with a journeyman — are two of the best teams in the entire league.
CBSSports.com looks at where teams would be picking ahead of Week 5 of “Monday Night Football,” as well as each team’s pending free agents and potential needs based on those players who may be leaving.Β
The draft order, via Tankathon.com, is ordered by win-loss record and ties are broken by strength of schedule. Team needs are a combination of current needs and looking ahead to pending free agents. Notable pending free agents are listed rather than the full list.Β
