The order for the 2026 NFL Draft has been finalized, two days after the Seattle Seahawks won Super Bowl LX.
The Seahawks will pick 32nd and last in the first round of the draft due to their solid 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots in last Sunday’s big game.
New England has the No. 31 draft selection.
The first 18 selections were locked in prior to the postseason. The Las Vegas Raiders own the first pick and might have their eyes on Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza of Indiana.
The New York Jets, Arizona Cardinals, Tennessee Titans and New York Giants round out the top five.
The Kansas City Chiefs struggled with a 6-11 record but gain a draft pick (No. 9) earlier than usual.
Among playoff teams, the AFC runner-up Denver Broncos have the 30th pick. Denver lost to the Patriots. The Los Angeles Rams, who lost to Seattle in the NFC title game, are No. 29.
