The Week 15 victory of the Panthers over the Falcons resulted in the Patriots and Cardinals, who both suffered losses, moving closer to obtaining the No. 1 overall pick. New England’s weaker strength of schedule has kept Arizona in the No. 3 position, while Washington, on the brink of a likely complete rebuild, has lost five consecutive games and now sits in position for its first top-five pick since 2020.

Early reports suggest that the Bears are more inclined to draft a replacement for Justin Fields rather than trade their high pick once again. However, the Patriots and Cardinals are still in contention for what could potentially be Caleb Williams‘ draft spot. If New England were to secure the top pick, it is expected that they would select the top QB prospect. Arizona landing at the top of the draft for the second time in six years could create some drama, particularly with the challenge of potentially moving Kyler Murray‘s contract for new GM Monti Ossenfort. Teams in need of a quarterback may be hoping for the Cardinals to secure one of the top two spots, which could open up the possibility for a trade-up for Williams or Drake Maye.

The Raiders’ 63-21 win over the Chargers caused them to drop six spots from their position last week, while the Packers climbed eight spots from their previous position heading into Week 15. Green Bay has not held a top-11 draft choice since selecting B.J. Raji in the first round of the 2009 draft, which occurred after Aaron Rodgers took over as quarterback. Despite this, Jordan Love‘s first season as QB1 could still lead to a playoff berth, and the rest of the NFC and AFC wild-card races remain closely contested.
