There's no playoff dream or December appearances on the "in the hunt" graphic for the Cleveland Browns. At 2-8 on the season, what remains in their 2025 campaign is about the future.
From here on out, the Browns draft position will be something worth monitoring week-after-week, as they jockey with some of the other bottom feeder teams in the league for the No. 1 overall pick. How the Jacksonville Jaguars finish the season will also be something to follow with Cleveland possessing their first rounder next April, as well.
So where do things stand with the 2026 NFL Draft order through 11 weeks?
Following Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, the Browns currently slot into the No. 3 overall pick. The two teams currently sitting in front of Cleveland are the New York Giants (2-9 overall, No. 2 pick) and the Tennessee Titans (1-9 overall, No. 1 pick), meaning the three teams that drafted in the top three in 2025 are all back at the top of the board again this year, just in a different order.
Here's a full list of the current top 10 picks according to Tankathon:

With the Browns and Raiders set to square off this coming Sunday, the top of the draft order is due for a shakeup after Week 12. That game has some pretty massive implications for both teams as far as the draft is concerned.
As for the Jaguars, they're currently very much alive in the AFC playoff picture, placing their pick much further down the board. As things stand right now, they're slated to pick 19th overall, but that is very much subject to change based on whether or not they actually make the postseason and if they do, where they finish in the playoffs.

The Browns finished the 2024 campaign 3-14 and with the No. 2 overall pick in this past April's draft. On the night of round one general manager Andrew Berry wound up shipping the pick and a few other later round selections to the Jaguars in exchange for the No. 5 overall pick, pick No. 36 in the second round, pick No. 126 in the fourth round and that future first in 2026.
Cleveland's 2025 draft class is easily one of the best in the NFL, with linebacker Carson Schwesinger, running back Quinshon Judkins, defensive tackle Mason Graham and tight end Harold Fannin Jr. all looking like potential cornerstone players for the franchise moving forward.
The 2026 draft will be another pivotal one for Berry (assuming he's still here) as he looks to have similar success identifying and selecting players – potentially even a QB – that will help complete a roster rebuild and bring the Browns back into playoff contention.
