2025 NFL Draft order: What should Cowboys do if they land the No. 1 pick?

It's that time of year, folks.

If you're a fan of a team that finds itself toiling at the bottom of the NFL standings, thinking about next season before Thanksgiving, your mind is already on the draft. So, each week, through the end of the NFL regular season, FOX Sports will be making the case for what a given struggling team should do if they land the No. 1 overall pick. 

This past weekend, the Jacksonville Jaguars maintained their slight edge for the top overall selection, as they were clobbered 52-6 by the Detroit Lions on the road — the largest margin of defeat in franchise history. Every other team currently slated to pick in the top 10 either lost or had their bye week except for the New Orleans Saints, who cruised past the Cleveland Browns. 

Here's what the top 10 in the draft order looks like through Week 11: 

1. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-9) 
2. Tennessee Titans (2-8) 
3. Cleveland Browns (2-8) 
4. New York Giants (2-8) 
5. Las Vegas Raiders (2-8) 
6. New England Patriots (3-8) 
7. New York Jets (3-8) 
8. Carolina Panthers (3-7) 
9. Dallas Cowboys (3-7) 
10. New Orleans Saints (4-7)

As we track the race for the No. 1 pick, we'll spotlight a new team each week until the order is set and debate what they should do with the selection. We begin with the Cowboys, whose chances to land the top spot seem more realistic by the week. 

Tied for the NFL's second-longest losing streak at five games, Dallas is barreling toward its first losing season since 2020 with quarterback Dak Prescott on season-ending injured reserve. The Cowboys are 0-5 at home this season, with three of those losses coming by at least 24 points. It's been a humiliating year for America's Team.
