The clock is ticking, folks. The 2025 NFL Draft is just two days away, and I don’t know about you, but I’m as antsy as the players waiting to hear their name called from Green Bay, Wisconsin. DraftKings Sportsbook offered numerous odds and markets for the draft, but they won’t be up forever. That being said, let’s dive into the most-bet markets and player props to give you a taste on where the money is going.
DKN will provide live coverage of Round 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft with pick analysis, odds movements and recaps of draft markets beginning at 7 p.m. ET. on Thursday, April 24th.
2025 NFL DRAFT MARKETS ON DRAFTKINGS SPORTSBOOK
Number 1 Overall Pick:
QB Cameron Ward, Miami (-20000): This isn’t a shocker, of course. The Tennessee Titans are likely to grab their (hopefully) future of the franchise with the first pick, and bettors agree. 38% of the money for this market is on Ward to go No. 1, with 15% of the bets as well.
CB/WR Travis Hunter, Colorado (+4500): Argued as a generational prospect and one of (if not the most) anticipated two-way players in the modern draft era, Travis Hunter is sure to change the course of whichever team he lands on. While the odds aren’t favoring the Colorado product to go first overall, 19% of the money is still on the Titans to take him and run. 25% of the bets ride with Hunter to go first, the highest percentage of bets for this market.
EDGE Abdul Carter, Penn State (+2800): There’s something about EDGE rushers wearing No. 11 at Penn State, huh? Carter, plain and simple, is a beast. He’s an absolute game wrecker with elite burst and quarterback-tracking skills that make ANY franchise’s mouth water. While less of the money is on Carter to go first overall (17% handle), the 21-year-old still owns the second-lowest odds to be taken by Tennessee as the odds stand right now.
Number 2 Pick:
CB/WR Travis Hunter, Colorado (-1000): Now THIS is where the money is at for Hunter. 50% of the handle and 22% of the bets are for the two-way phenom to go second overall. While there are questions on how long Hunter can play on both sides of the ball, there’s no doubt his body control, speed acceleration and deceleration, and overall top-tier playmaking-ability will land him high up in the draft. Where, that is… I’m impatient too!
QB Shedeur Sanders, Colorado (+2000): The Athletic’s Dane Brugler once said on The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz that “you’re not allowed to like him, you have to love him or hate him, for whatever reason.” That one take resonates so well with how the public views Sanders. On one hand, you have DraftKings Sportsbook bettors putting 40% of the bets and 26% of the handle on Sanders to go second overall—plus, 48% of bets are on him to go third overall. On the other, the Colorado product is critiqued left and right for his smaller frame, lack of velocity, and dependance on ball placement and timing for big plays. The latter are not negative traits, people, but the Sanders discourse will for sure be an intriguing storyline to watch come Draft Day.
EDGE Abdul Carter, Penn State (+600): Owning the second-lowest odds to go No. 2 on Thursday, Carter has received 27% of bets in this market vs. 22% for Travis Hunter—something to note. If nothing absolutely insane happens with the first pick and Hunter and Carter are on the board come pick two, there’s a chance this market is shaken up. Thank goodness DKN is here with live updates on Draft Day odds, NFL Draft Grades, and more.
