The Jets are eliminated from playoff contention, but Gang Green played spoiler Sunday by knocking off the Pittsburgh Steelers in a 16-10 win. While the victory dropped the Jets in the 2020 NFL draft order, New York remains in a favorable spot ahead of next Sunday's 1 p.m. season finale against the Buffalo Bills.

Meanwhile, the Cincinnati Bengals' 38-35 loss to the Miami Dolphins locked up the No. 1 overall pick for them. The quarterback-needy Bengals have been linked often to LSU fifth-year senior Joe Burrow, who won the 2019 Heisman Trophy and has the top-ranked Tigers in the College Football Playoff.

With only the Monday Night Football matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings left on the Week 16 schedule, below is how Tankathon.com sees the draft order shaping up. The Bengals are the only team right now with a draft position clinched.
