The New York Jets are holding three of the first 11 selections in the 2027 NFL Draft order, according to the NFL’s snapshot entering Week 7 of the 2026 season. The listed selections include pick No. 7, acquired from Dallas, and pick No. 10, acquired from Indianapolis.

The NFL report, published October 20, 2026, describes a provisional order rather than a final draft position. It says teams are ordered by record, with strength of schedule as the first tiebreaker; teams projected to make the playoffs are marked separately, and their draft positions will be determined by postseason results.

Jets’ acquired picks feature in the early order

The No. 7 selection is identified as acquired from the Cowboys, whose record is listed as 2-4. The No. 10 pick is identified as acquired from the Colts, also listed at 2-4. The report’s headline says New York holds three of the top 11 picks, though the supplied snapshot does not provide details for the Jets’ other selection.

The Jets’ listed roster needs are quarterback, defensive tackle, cornerback, wide receiver and linebacker. The report says the team needs a long-term answer at quarterback, while noting Geno Smith is keeping the team competitive and that fourth-round pick Cade Klubnik could affect the outlook.

Top of the order remains provisional

The snapshot lists the Chargers at No. 1, the Dolphins at No. 2, Tennessee at No. 3, Tampa Bay at No. 4, Washington at No. 5 and Philadelphia at No. 6. The Texans are No. 8, Arizona No. 9 and the Jets’ acquired Colts pick No. 10.

The NFL says draft order for teams that reach the playoffs will depend on postseason results. The positions shown heading into Week 7 therefore do not establish the final selection order.
