Jets jump in draft order after getting destroyed by Bills | How high can they climb?

New York’s Orchard Park.The Jets lost to the Bills 40-14 on Sunday, falling down by 40 points, one of the most humiliating defeats in recent memory.

After dropping to 4-12 on the season, a number of players were unable to conceal their dissatisfaction, which was evident in the locker room. However, in terms of tangible outcomes, the penultimate game of this unsuccessful season offered a significant victory in the competition for a top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

The Jets have jumped up two spots from No. 8 at the start of Week 17 to No. 6 in the 2025 NFL Draft order, according to Tankathon.com. That’s probably where they’ll remain this week, however if Cleveland rallies to defeat the Dolphins in the fourth quarter, they might move up to No. 5, and if Carolina’s schedule strength declines below the Jets’, they might rise to No. 7.

The Raiders’ second consecutive victory (to reach four victories) helped the Jets move up in the draft order and make them one of five teams with four wins so far this season as of early Sunday night.

Due to the strength of their schedule, the Jaguars, who defeated the Titans on Sunday to move to 4-12, are the only club with four wins ahead of the Jets. Jacksonville’s.472 mark is worse than the Jets’.496. Depending on how the last games of Week 17 go, Carolina might overtake the Jets at.498. However, if the Jets finish the season with the same record, the two four-win teams, Las Vegas (.546) and Chicago (.553), probably have too much of a strength-of-schedule differential to pass them in the rankings.

If the Jets lose to the Dolphins and either wins again, they would probably overtake both the Giants (.551) and Cleveland (.537), who both have schedules that are noticeably stronger than the Jets’.
