Former New England quarterback Mac Jones secured his first win as the starting quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars, helping them move out of the top spot in the NFL Draft standings. The New England Patriots, currently at 3-10, have the weakest schedule among teams in contention for high draft picks. This gives them a cushion that could secure them a top-three pick even if they don’t win another game this season. The Patriots’ draft position also benefits from the performance of other 3-10 teams like the Las Vegas Raiders and the New York Giants. The projected draft order currently has the Patriots in the third position following the Sunday and Monday night games, with a strength of schedule of .463. The Raiders and Giants are currently ranked first and second, respectively. The tie-breakers for draft position include strength of schedule, division or conference tiebreakers, head-to-head matchups, best net points, and a coin toss if necessary. The Patriots will continue to monitor the draft standings as they look to secure a high pick in next year’s draft.
