How Giants' Win Over Colts Impacts 2025 NFL Draft Order

The New York Giants no longer are in the pole position to claim the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL draft.

Behind five total touchdowns from quarterback Drew Lock, the Giants defeated the Indianapolis Colts 45–33 on Sunday at MetLife Stadium to improve to 3–13 on the year. New York entered Sunday as the only two-win team remaining in the NFL and would've secured the No. 1 pick had it lost the final two regular-season games.

With the win, the Giants drop from No. 1 to the No. 4 pick, as they lose out on the strength of schedule tiebreaker with fellow 3–13 teams in the New England Patriots, Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns, who lost to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday evening.

Here's a look at the updated 2025 NFL draft order:

The Giants will finish off the regular season in Week 18 with a road game against the Philadelphia Eagles, while the Patriots will host the Buffalo Bills, the Titans will play the Houston Texans, and the Browns will visit the Baltimore Ravens.
