2025 NFL draft order projections: Patriots, Browns at top
There is just one week left in the 2024 NFL regular season, and several fan bases are starting to think about the 2025 draft, which begins April 24 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Let’s take a look at the projected first-round draft order for all 32 teams using ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI).
Each week during the season, ESPN’s FPI projects the draft order by simulating the remainder of the season 20,000 times. Game probabilities are based primarily on the model’s team ratings and game locations. The draft order is determined by the records the model projects for each team after 17 games, as well as each team’s average draft position across the simulations.
Our FPI predictions gave the New York Giants the first pick after Week 16, but there has been a shift at the top of the board after their 45-33 win over the Indianapolis Colts. The New England Patriots are now in line to finish atop the draft board. Which teams are guaranteed to select in the top 10 behind them? Check out our full projections below ahead of Week 18.

With the 2025 NFL season nearing its end, speculation on the upcoming draft order is already running rampant. Many analysts are predicting that the New England Patriots and Cleveland Browns will be at the top of the draft board for the 2025 NFL Draft.
Both teams have had disappointing seasons, with the Patriots struggling to find consistency at the quarterback position and the Browns dealing with injuries to key players. As a result, they are expected to have high draft picks in the upcoming draft.
The Patriots, known for their shrewd drafting and player development, will likely look to bolster their roster with top talent in key positions. With their history of success, they are sure to be a team to watch in the upcoming draft.
On the other hand, the Browns, who have been rebuilding in recent years, will also be looking to add impact players to their roster. With a young core of talent already in place, a high draft pick could be just what they need to take the next step towards contention.
As the season comes to a close and the draft order becomes clearer, all eyes will be on the Patriots and Browns as they look to improve their teams through the 2025 NFL Draft. Stay tuned for more updates and analysis as the draft approaches.
