"Week 15 saw the Broncos and Rams clinch a postseason berth. Meanwhile, the Chiefs, Bengals and Vikings have each officially been eliminated from the playoffs. They will join the group of teams turning their attention to offseason planning. That of course includes extensive evaluation of the top prospects in this year's class; several have already turned pro ( with some exceptions)."
"Sunday's results mean there are nine teams with two, three or four wins. Each of them remain candidates to secure the No. 1 selection, although victories by the Saints and Commanders yesterday will greatly hinder their chances of moving to the top of the order. Jockeying amongst teams like the Raiders, Jets and Cardinals (each on track to pursue a new quarterback this spring) will be a storyline worth following closely down the stretch."
Broncos and Rams clinched postseason berths in Week 15. Chiefs, Bengals and Vikings were officially eliminated and will shift focus to offseason planning. Offseason work includes extensive evaluation of top prospects, with several already declaring for the draft. Nine teams with two, three or four wins remain candidates for the No. 1 selection. Victories by the Saints and Commanders substantially reduce their odds of securing the top pick. Teams such as the Raiders, Jets and Cardinals are positioned to pursue new quarterbacks this spring. Draft order for non-playoff teams follows inverted 2025 standings with tiebreakers starting with strength of schedule. Playoff teams are slotted by postseason outcome and reverse regular-season record.
