The 2025 NFL Draft is just about here and we hope to see you in Green Bay!  This draft is set to have some upsetting but strategic team-specific picks and let’s talk about what that means for the Sportsbooks!  First of all, you should be aware that the books don’t necessarily like the NFL draft because there are analysts and insiders that expose line gaps if you’re watching carefully.  Keep an eye on the lines and the tweets and you may be able to catch a few picks!! 💰.  For now, let’s look at an overview of key storylines and betting insights for this year's draft.

This year the storyline is that it is light on Quarterbacks and heavy on defensive talent, priming it for some early twists.  The first two rounds seem to be mostly decided already with Titans No. 1 (Cam Ward) and Browns No. 2 (Travis Hunter).

No, 3 pick for Giants. Defense or QB?

The New York Giants hold the No. 3 spot, and there’s a lot of speculation on what may happen with this pick.  The team is desperately in need of a QB and with Cam Ward off the board they will likely be choosing between Colorado's Shedeur Sanders and Ole Miss' Jaxson Dart. If they decide to prioritize the QB position we might also be looking at a trade-down situation since these two might be a bit of a stretch at the No 3. spot. 

Popular and historic draft strategies suggest the above but Giants are also eyeing Abdul Carter, the giants have been talking about enhancing their pass rush and Carter is the man for the job.  Don’t forget, the Giants also have Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, so they may sit on a QB. Look for indication of a trade down which is when then Jaxson Dart (currently around +5000) might get very interesting very quickly. 


Betting Insights and Picks:

This Draft has various ways to play, including the amount of RB’s in the first round.  Currently the Round 1 over/under for QB’s sits at 2.5 and teams are eyeing three QB.s in the first five picks.  Take the 2.5 and cross your fingers these teams see the Shedeur Sanders smoke screen. Yes, he has physical limitations and he may fall a little more than originally expected but this guy is an absolute stud.  Take a breath, look back at Shedeur Sanders college career and don’t bite the hate-bait. This is the NFL Draft and it is filled with opportunities for trade ups.  We love over 2.5 QB’s in the first round, see if your book has it.
