The 2021 NFL draft order held relatively steady after Week 8, with the two New York teams — Giants and Jets — picking first and second overall, respectively.
Both teams will have tough decisions to make at quarterback. Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence and Ohio State’s Justin Fields should be the first two players off the board but the Giants and Jets each drafted first-round quarterbacks over the last three years.
The first three picks could actually end up being quarterbacks, with the Jaguars picking third and players like North Dakota State’s Trey Lance and BYU’s Zach Wilson getting first-round love.
Here’s the updated 2021 NFL draft first-round order entering Week 9:
1. New York Jets (0-8)
2. New York Giants (1-7)
3. Jacksonville Jaguars (1-6)
4. Miami Dolphins (from Houston 1-6)
5. Dallas Cowboys (2-6)
6. Atlanta Falcons (2-6)
7. Washington Football Team (2-5)
8. Los Angeles Chargers (2-5)
9. New England Patriots (2-5)
10. Minnesota Vikings (2-5)
11. Cincinnati Bengals (2-5-1)
12. Carolina Panthers (3-5)
13. Detroit Lions (3-4)
14. Denver Broncos (3-4)
15. San Francisco 49ers (4-4)
