The Tennessee Titans wore Houston Oilers throwback uniforms for their season finale against the Texans on Sunday.
After a sixth straight defeat to end the season, the Titans are on the clock for the first time since the Oilers days.
Tennessee is one of three teams to finish the season at 3-14, joined by the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants. The Titans got the nod in the tiebreaker by posting their record against the weakest strength of schedule out of that trio (.521).
The franchise will pick first overall for the first time since the Oilers drafted running back Earl Campbell in 1978. The only other time they went first overall was 1973, when the Oilers took defensive end John Matuszak.
Cleveland will pick second overall and New York will go third. All three teams could be in the market for a new franchise quarterback.
Rounding out the top five are the New England Patriots and Jacksonville Jaguars, who both went 4-13. The Patriots could have secured the top pick with a loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday because their strength of schedule was weaker than Tennessee’s. Instead, they upset playoff-bound Buffalo 23-16.
Here are picks 1-18, which were finalized on Sunday night after the Detroit Lions beat the Minnesota Vikings 31-9:
1. Tennessee Titans 2. Cleveland Browns 3. New York Giants 4. New England Patriots 5. Jacksonville Jaguars 6. Las Vegas Raiders 7. New York Jets 8. Carolina Panthers 9. New Orleans Saints 10. Chicago Bears 11. San Francisco 49ers 12. Dallas Cowboys 13. Miami Dolphins 14. Indianapolis Colts 15. Atlanta Falcons 16. Arizona Cardinals 17. Cincinnati Bengals 18. Seattle Seahawks
