I tracked all the 2025 NFL Draft props and recorded the line/odds movement for each betting market, including odds to be the first pick, draft position over/unders, and first player taken at each position, among others.

The 2025 NFL Draft took place Thursday, April 24 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Cam Ward was the first player selected (by the Tennessee Titans), but there was plenty of drama after the first pick. See how the odds for the 2025 NFL Draft looked and what sportsbooks got right/wrong.

2025 NFL Draft Odds for First Overall Pick

Top 5 Top 10 11 & Up

Miami QB Cam Ward closed as the favorite to be taken first-overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. Ward took over as the favorite after the NFL season wrapped up, locking the Titans into the top pick. It marked the first time Ward had been seen as the favorite, following Shedeur Sanders and Carson Beck, who opted to stay in college, each spending some time as the favorite between opening and the conclusion of the college football regular season.

Sanders’ freefall from the top of the board happened pretty quickly. He only had the fourth-best odds to go #1 at closing, and was a very distant +8000.

Odds to Be First-Overall Pick in 2025 NFL Draft

The odds to be the 1st-overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft favored Cam Ward at -20000 odds. Those odds gave Ward a 99.5% chance to go first-overall and a $20 bet on him would have profited $0.10 and returned $20.10.

While we did see other QBs among the favorites during the college season, like Shedeur Sanders, Quinn Ewers, and even Carson Beck, it was a year of non-QBs getting attention with the early picks.

After Ward in the odds to be the first pick were: Abdul Carter (+3000), Travis Hunter (+5000), Shedeur Sanders (+8000), and Ashton Jeanty (+15000).

One of the biggest mysteries was what NFL scouts would think of Travis Hunter, who said he wanted to continue to play both sides of the ball in the pros. He had the third-best odds to be taken first-overall, but was believed to be heading to the Browns with the second pick.

Here are some notes on the odds movement we saw:

• [April 23] Just over 24 hours prior to the NFL Draft, Cam Ward’s odds to be the first pick sit at -20000.
• [April 10] Cam Ward has effectively run away with this race, as his odds to be the first-overall pick reached -10000 across most sportsbooks.
• [March 13] The month of February saw Cam Ward establish himself as the odds-on favorite to be the first pick, seeing his odds move to shorter than +100. The first half of March saw Ward start pulling away from the field, as his odds improved to as short as -1000.
• [January 28] While the initial reaction to Titans executives claiming they wouldn’t pass on generational talent led to Travis Hunter’s odds to be the first-overall pick dramatically improving, Abdul Carter’s odds have gone from +975 down to as short as +180, the second-best odds on the board, over the past few days.
• [January 23] According to BetMGM Trading Manager, Christian Cipollini, there has been “significant betting on [Travis] Hunter since the comments made by Titans executives,” when they said they would not pass on a generational talent with the first pick. They did not specifically say Hunter was a generational talent, but bettors are obviously believing that’s who they were talking about. The result was Hunter’s odds to be the first pick going from +1100 to +158. Though, Cam Ward remained the favorite after those comments, but his odds worsened from -210 to +110.
• [January 7] In spite of some criticism he faced for sitting out the second half of the Pop-Tarts Bowl, Cam Ward overtook Shedeur Sanders as the favorite to be taken first-overall in the 2025 NFL Draft after the NFL season wrapped up.
• [October 24] Shedeur Sanders has continued to play well for Colorado, while Carson Beck has thrown a flurry of interceptions recently. The result was Sanders taking back over as the favorite to be picked first in the NFL Draft.
• [October 21] As Travis Hunter gains steam in the Heisman race, so have his odds to be selected first overall in the NFL Draft. Hunter was given 30-1 odds to be the first player selected back in August, but has shortened to +725 as the college season winds down. These were the second-best odds on the board at the time.
• [May 6] Less than two weeks after odds opened, we saw Carson Beck take over as the favorite to be the first pick of the 2025 NFL Draft. Beck’s odds actually didn’t improve, though, remaining at +300. The change atop the board was the result of Shadeur Sanders’ odds fading from +100 to +450.
• [April 26] Shedeur Sanders opened as the favorite to be the first-overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Colorado QB opened with very short +100 odds. Both Quinn Ewers and Carson Beck opened with +300 odds, tied for second-best at this time.

2025 NFL Draft Position Over/Unders

Draft position over/unders opened in late-March, but the original market only had a handful of players. We closed with most first-round players with over/unders on when they will be selected in the 2025 NFL Draft, and will likely see at least another set of players given odds in this market before we get to draft night.

Here are the players who experienced the biggest movements in their over/unders:

• Ashton Jeanty’s over/under opened at 9.5 and came down to 6.5
• Colston Loveland’s over/under opened at 19.5 and came down to 17.5
• Mason Graham’s over/under has remained at 5.5, but the under opened as the -155 favorite and closed +250
• Mykel Williams’ over/under opened at 15.5 with the over favored at -130; we saw the under move to as short as -400 before sportsbooks moved the line down to 12.5, where the under was still favored at -370
• Shedeur Sanders’ over/under opened at 8.5 with the over favored at -250; some sportsbooks moved the line to 10.5, with the over still heavily favored, while others jumped all the way to 21.5

Odds to Be a Top Pick in 2025 NFL Draft

Sportsbooks opened odds to be the #2 pick in the NFL Draft in late-March. Abdul Carter opened as the odds-on favorite to be taken second by the Cleveland Browns, getting -130 odds. However, that changed drastically after the Browns sent extra personnel to Travis Hunter’s Pro Day workout. Hunter closed as the odds-on favorite to be the 2nd pick, getting -1100 odds.

Odds to be the third pick also opened in late-March, and favored Abdul Carter with -800 odds. However, Shedeur Sanders was the favorite when these odds opened, and Travis Hunter also spent time as the favorite prior to Carter. The Giants held the third pick and were originally believed to be looking at QBs with this pick. However, New York signed Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson in free agency, potentially signaling a lack of interest in the QB prospects available. The Wilson signing seemed to have flipped these odds.

Odds to be the fourth and fifth picks of the 2025 NFL Draft also opened, with Will Campbell favored to go 4th to the Patriots, and Ashton Jeanty the odds-on favorite to be selected 5th by the Jaguars. Mason Graham was originally the heavy favorite to be the fifth pick, but the Jaguars reportedly expressed interest in Jeanty – this was wrong!

First Player Drafted at Each Position

Below you will find the odds on which player will be drafted first at each playing position in the 2025 NFL Draft. Many of these NFL Draft props had clear favorites.

First Quarterback Drafted

Cameron Ward was the extremely heavy favorite to be the first QB selected, which makes sense since he was also the favorite to be the 1st overall pick. The only bit of drama we saw with this market was Jaxson Dart being tied with Shedeur Sanders for the second-best odds for a brief period. That changed prior to the draft, though, as Sanders closed with far better odds than Dart.

First Running Back Drafted

Ashton Jeanty was the runaway favorite to be the first RB selected in this year’s NFL Draft. Jeanty was as short as -20000 at DraftKings. Omarion Hampton had the second-best odds at 22-1. Jeanty was taken 6th overall by the Raiders and was the first RB taken.

First Wide Receiver Drafted

While Matthew Golden created some serious buzz for himself at the NFL Combine, it was still Tetairoa McMillan who was the heavy favorite to be the first wide receiver selected in the draft. Golden was given short +200 odds, but he was well back of McMillan’s -290 odds.

Tet was the first WR taken, going 8th to the Panthers.

First Tight End Drafted

Tyler Warren was heavily favored to be the first TE drafted. Colston Loveland was the only other player getting shorter than 60-1 odds. But this one was a big upset, as Loveland was taken first, going 10th to the Bears.

First Offensive Lineman Drafted

There was a fair amount of volatility in the odds to be the first offensive lineman drafted, as Will Campbell opened as the favorite, but after his arm measurement came back quite short, Armand Membou became the favorite. Campbell took back over as the favorite, and seemingly solidified himself late with -600 odds. Campbell was the first OL taken.

First Defensive Lineman or EDGE Drafted

Abdul Carter was given very short -10000 odds to be the first defensive lineman selected in April’s draft. Mason Graham was the only other player given odds shorter than +5000. Carter was the first DL/EDGE taken.

First Linebacker Drafted

To be clear, this prop was referring to off-ball linebackers (ILBs). Jalon Walker was the heavy favorite to be the first linebacker selected in the 2025 NFL Draft. While Walker may play a hybrid role in the pros, he entered the league as an inside linebacker.

He was the first linebacker taken.

First Corner Drafted

Travis Hunter was an extremely-heavy favorite to be the first corner drafted, and the odds were correct. There was more intrigue in looking at the odds to be the second corner drafted, where Will Johnson was a slight favorite, but Jahdae Barron overtook him at most sportsbooks before the draft. The odds were correct as Barron was selected 20th overall and was the second corner taken.

First Safety Drafted

Malaki Starks had been slowly closing the gap between himself and Nick Emmanwori to be the first safety selected. The two closed as co-favorites at DraftKings. Malaki Starks ended up being the first safety taken.
