Where Do the Jets Stand in 2027 NFL Draft Order After Week 8?

The New York Jets fell short in Week 8 of the NFL season, losing to the Las Vegas Raiders by a score of 38-33 at home.

With the loss, the Jets now sit with a record of 2-6 on the season, with the group having lost three straight games. 2026 has been a tough year for this franchise, especially since the Jets have been competitive in each game.

New York just hasn't been able to close out matchups, with them being one of the worst teams in late-game situations in the NFL. This has led to calls for the team to fire head coach Aaron Glenn, but the franchise hasn't made any moves of yet.

Barring a late-season turnaround, the Jets long postseason streak will extend, giving this team more to figure out. But if the Jets can't pick up too many more wins, it will mean that the organization will have a top draft pick.

In fact, New York is scheduled to have three first-round draft picks this coming year following multiple trades. But after Week 8 of the season, where do the Jets stand in terms of the draft order?

Right now, the Jets would be scheduled to have three picks all in the top 10 of the 2027 NFL Draft. Here is how the draft picks for the Jets would look in the first round if the season ended today:

1. Since the Jets have the Indianapolis Colts first round pick this season, New York would own the No. 4 pick right now. The Colts have been a mess this year, and the team is expected to make more trades before the deadline expires.

If Indianapolis were to continue tearing down the roster, this would bode very well for the Jets, who could receive a very high pick. New York should be rooting for the Colts to lose every game the rest of the way.

2. The Jets' own draft pick would put them at No. 6 right now, with the team struggling to win games. 

3. And finally, the Jets own the Dallas Cowboys first-round pick this year, and they would get No. 10 right now. Dallas has struggled themselves, leading to all sorts of questions around the team.

For the Jets, they should be rooting for the Cowboys to keep losing games as well. But New York could easily have three top draft picks if all goes right for this team the rest of the season.
