What happened: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Houston Texans hold the top two picks in the projected 2027 NFL Draft order. The Tennessee Titans, Los Angeles Chargers and Miami Dolphins round out the top five. The New York Jets feature prominently with three picks in the top 10.
Why it matters: The early order reflects slow starts across the league. New York's accumulation of draft capital provides the franchise with significant leverage, holding its own No. 6 pick alongside selections acquired from Green Bay and Indianapolis. The Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints also sit inside the top 10.
By the numbers: The Chargers sit at 1-5 on the season with five consecutive losses, scoring 17.7 points per game while allowing 24.0 defensively.
What to watch: The draft order will fluctuate weekly as the regular season progresses.
