The 2025 NFL season is at its end, with the final week of action taking place on Sunday. Before they even took the field in their regular-season finale, the Raiders clinched the No. 1 pick as a result of the Giants’ 34–17 win against the Cowboys, their fourth victory of the season. It’s the first time since 2007, when they selected JaMarcus Russell out of LSU, that the franchise has the top pick in the draft.
It was a costly win for New York, who will now be picking at No. 5. Had the Giants lost, they’d have been locked into the No. 2 pick, and could potentially have even gotten the No. 1 pick considering Las Vegas defeated the Chiefs.
