The league finalized the order for the first round of the 2025 NFL draft on Monday after the completion of the Super Bowl.
The New York Giants, who finished in a three-way tie for the worst record in the league (3-14) along with the Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns, will select third overall.
The Titans will select first based on the tiebreaker, which is strength of schedule (.522). Cleveland (.536) will select second followed by the Giants (.554).
The NFL waiver period, which began on Monday, will use the first-round draft order when it comes to prioritizing waiver requests.
The NFL’s waiver period for the 2025 league year begins today.
From now through Week 3 of the regular season, the waiver order will mirror the draft order.
The Titans have top priority on all waived players for the next 7 months.

It’s not a place teams want to be, and it may not end up amounting to much, but it’s all part of the NFL’s quest for parity.
The remainder of the draft order will be released after the league announces the compensatory selections, which will be awarded later in the offseason.
