2027 NFL Draft Order: Jets Hold Three Top-11 Picks Entering Week 7

The New York Jets own three of the first 11 selections in the NFL’s current 2027 draft order, giving a rebuilding franchise the most striking collection of early first-round capital in the league’s Week 7 snapshot.

The Los Angeles Chargers sit at No. 1 after an 0-6 start, followed by the 0-5 Miami Dolphins. New York’s haul is more unusual: the Jets currently hold No. 7 via Dallas, No. 10 via Indianapolis and their own selection at No. 11. The order is a live standings-based snapshot, not a prediction, and it can move significantly every week.

2027 NFL Draft order: current top 11

1. Los Angeles Chargers (0-6)

2. Miami Dolphins (0-5)

3. Tennessee Titans (1-5)

4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-5)

5. Washington Commanders (1-4-1)

6. Philadelphia Eagles (2-4)

7. New York Jets via Dallas Cowboys (Dallas: 2-4)

8. Houston Texans (2-4)

9. Arizona Cardinals (2-4)

10. New York Jets via Indianapolis Colts (Indianapolis: 2-4)

11. New York Jets (2-4)

That order reflects the standings entering Week 7 and uses strength of schedule as the first tiebreaker among clubs with identical records. The slots assigned to playoff teams will ultimately be determined by postseason results.

Why the Jets’ three picks matter

Owning three top-11 selections would give New York rare flexibility if the season ended today. The Jets could address several premium positions, package assets to move up, trade back to add future capital or mix those approaches depending on how the quarterback class and veteran roster develop.

The NFL’s needs assessment lists quarterback, defensive tackle, cornerback, wide receiver and linebacker among New York’s priorities. That is a broad menu, but it also fits the advantage of having three early selections: the Jets would not have to force one positional answer with their only premium pick.

For now, the most useful takeaway is optionality—not a specific prospect forecast. College evaluations, declarations, medical information and the final draft order all have months to change.

The Chargers currently lead the race for No. 1

Los Angeles enters its Week 7 bye at 0-6, placing the Chargers first in the order. Miami is next at 0-5 and visits the Jets in Week 7, a result that could reshape multiple spots near the top. Tennessee and Tampa Bay follow at 1-5, while Washington sits fifth at 1-4-1.

Because the non-playoff order is driven by record and then strength of schedule, even one win can create a multi-position swing when several teams are clustered together.

Three teams currently lack their own first-round pick

The current order also highlights the cost of earlier deals. Green Bay’s first-round pick belongs to Dallas, Indianapolis’ first belongs to the Jets and the Los Angeles Rams’ first belongs to Cleveland. Those transferred selections can become more valuable—or less valuable—with every result involving the original team.

Fantasy and dynasty impact

This snapshot has little immediate redraft value, but dynasty managers should track it. Landing spots often determine whether a rookie quarterback starts quickly, whether a receiver can command targets and whether a running back has a path to volume. A team with multiple premium picks can also transform its offensive environment in one draft.

The Jets’ three current selections make New York especially important for dynasty scouting, but managers should avoid pricing in exact picks this early. The better approach is to monitor team needs and draft capital while treating every slot as provisional.

How the order is calculated

For non-playoff teams, record comes first and strength of schedule is the initial tiebreaker. Additional league tiebreaking procedures apply if needed. Playoff clubs are placed later according to when they are eliminated, with the Super Bowl teams occupying the final two positions.

Bottom line

The Chargers currently own the first selection, but the Jets control the most consequential block of early draft capital: three picks inside the top 11. That combination could make New York the central trade and roster-building team of the 2027 first round if the standings remain similar.

The order will move, perhaps quickly. Football Nation USA will update the picture as results, traded-pick ownership and playoff positioning change.
