Updated 2025 NFL draft order after Wild Card Round

The Houston Texans have another game to worry about before the offseason hits.

The same can’t be said for six teams following the past three days of playoff football.

With the wild-card round officially over, the first 24 picks of the 2025 NFL draft order have been finalized.

Eighteen picks were set entering wild-card weekend but with the Los Angeles Chargers, Pittsburgh Steelers, Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Minnesota Vikings all falling short, the order has expanded entering the final eight showdowns.

The Texans worsened their draft stock but bettered their odds of winning a Super Bowl after besting the Chargers in the wild-card round matchup at home. Initially, Houston was projected to select No. 19 overall.

Now, the Texans will pick no earlier than No. 25. Should they win and lose in the conference championship, the earliest they’ll pick is No. 29.

Meanwhile, the Tennessee Titans are now on the clock following a nine-point loss to Houston while donning the Oilers uniforms.

Here’s an updated look at the 2025 NFL draft order following wild-card weekend action, courtesy of the folks at Tankathon:
