Key Points:

- The New York Jets received the No. 2 pick after losing to the Buffalo Bills, with the Arizona Cardinals and Tennessee Titans holding the third and fourth picks, respectively.
- Draft order is based on team records, with strength of schedule used as a tiebreaker.
- The Giants' win, combined with other league outcomes, moved them to the No. 5 pick instead of No. 1, as they needed to lose and have the Raiders defeat the Chiefs for the top spot.
- This marks the Raiders' first time with the No. 1
