Updated 2021 NFL draft order: Jets, Jaguars creating separation for top pick
The Jets gave their fans a scare with their performance on Sunday against the Chargers, but their loss kept them in the running for the No. 1 overall pick.
New York once again maintained a one-game lead over the Jacksonville Jaguars for the top pick in next year’s draft. Right now this race is coming down to them. The Jets dropped to 0-10 on the season with their loss to the Chargers, while Jacksonville moved to 1-9 with a 27-3 loss to the Steelers.
The Cincinnati Bengals are right behind the Jaguars with a record of 2-7-1 after their loss to the Washington Football Team. After Cincinnati though, no one is that close to the Jets and Jaguars.
Dallas, Washington, Los Angeles and Houston all won this week, improving their records to 3-7. The Giants, who were on a bye, are also 3-7, as are the Falcons after their loss to the Saints. So the Jets hold a three-game lead over these teams with six games left to play.
Both the Jets and Jaguars have tough schedules ahead, so there aren’t many opportunities for either team to pick up a win.
