Two of the four divisional-round playoff clashes are now in the rearview mirror, which also provided more clarity regarding the 2026 NFL draft order.
The Denver Broncos wrapped up a 33-30 win over the Buffalo Bills to advance to the AFC Championship Game. Later on Saturday, the Seattle Seahawks took down the San Francisco 49ers by the final score of 41-6 to move on to the NFC Championship Game.
Once the divisional round comes to a close, the first 28 picks in the 2026 draft will be finalized.
Here’s a look at the draft order as things currently stand.
The Bills will be picking at No. 26 in the draft unless the Chicago Bears win on Sunday, then they’d move up to the No. 25 pick.
The 49ers are in a similar situation as Buffalo. San Francisco is currently in line to pick at No. 27, although it would move up to No. 26 if the Bears defeat the Los Angeles Rams.
The losers of each conference championship game will pick No. 29 and No. 30, while the Super Bowl loser will be given the No. 31 selection. The Super Bowl winner holds the last pick in the first round at No. 32.
The 2026 NFL draft begins on April 23.
