NFL draft order: Redskins benefit during bye as other bad teams win

Week 10 was a topsy-turvy one in the NFL, with the likes of the Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans Saints taking losses and some of the league’s poorer teams finding ways to win.

Perhaps the most surprising thing of all is the Miami Dolphins’ two-game winning streak. What once was a team destined for the No. 1 overall draft pick next April might not even crack the top five by season’s end.

In fact, the Washington Redskins have a little more “breathing room” in the draft order race now that the Dolphins upset the Colts, the New York Jets beat the New York Giants and the Atlanta Falcons toppled the Saints.
