**Green Bay, WI** – With the 2024 NFL season well underway, ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI) has released its latest projection for the 2025 NFL draft order. After 11 weeks of play, a significant shift has occurred at the top, with the New England Patriots now projected to secure the number one overall pick.

The FPI, which simulates the remainder of the season 20,000 times, gives the Patriots a 27.4% chance of earning the top pick and an 87.5% chance of landing within the top five. This surpasses the New York Giants, who were previously predicted to hold the top spot.

Rounding out the projected top five are the:

* **New York Giants:** (26.4% chance of the No. 1 pick)
* **Houston Texans:** (18.6% chance of the No. 1 pick)
* **Indianapolis Colts:** (12.1% chance of the No. 1 pick)
* **Atlanta Falcons:** (7.9% chance of the No. 1 pick)

While the Patriots’ chances for the first pick are substantial, the model also projects high probabilities for them to land in the top 5 and 10. The complete top 10 projections, along with probabilities for each team securing various draft positions, are available on ESPN. These projections will be updated every Tuesday throughout the season. The 2025 NFL Draft will take place on April 24th in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Mel Kiper Jr. has already begun analyzing potential draft picks, recently highlighting Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty as a potential target for the Dallas Cowboys.
