There are only three weeks of the 2024 NFL season, and the "race" for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft is still neck-and-neck.

The Las Vegas Raiders are still in control of next year's top pick entering Week 16 with their 2-12 record. The New York Giants are also 2-12, but hold the No. 2 pick thanks to a stronger strength of schedule. Five more teams sit just behind those two with just three wins through 15 weeks of play.

This week features a big matchup for a couple of teams in the running for the No. 1 pick. The Raiders will face one of those three-win teams, the Jacksonville Jaguars, in a late afternoon clash that could knock Las Vegas out of the top pick or drop the Jags even further down in the draft order.

There's plenty to be decided in the top half of the draft order as Week 16 rolls on.
