Jets get closer to top draft pick after Raiders-Broncos gift - New York Post

On Christmas Eve, Jon Gruden let the Jets unwrap their gift early.

The Raiders, in possibly their final game ever at the Coliseum, knocked off the Broncos, 27-14, on Monday night, a win that was a loss for their draft pick.

Oakland moved to 4-11 and fell behind the Jets in the draft order because of tiebreakers. Entering the final week of the season, the 4-11 Jets are holding onto the No. 3 pick, behind the 49ers (4-11) and Cardinals (3-12).

The Jets visit Foxborough on Sunday, while Arizona travels to Seattle, San Francisco heads to the Rams and the Chiefs host the Raiders.

There is still a remote chance the Jets improve to the No. 1 pick, but it would take a Jets loss, Cardinals win and some help. (ESPN gives them a 2.5 percent chance of getting the No. 1 pick.)
