Shedeur Sanders was once considered a strong favorite to be drafted first overall last year. However, his odds have since dropped significantly, with him now at 66-1 for the 2025 NFL Draft. Despite this, Sanders remains a significant liability for sportsbooks in the draft market. The focus has now shifted to which team will draft him and whether Jaxson Dart could surpass him as the second quarterback chosen.
With the draft fast approaching, the quarterback position remains crucial due to limited availability and high demand in the league. The uncertainty surrounding free agent Aaron Rodgers adds another layer of intrigue to the draft scenario.
BetMGM has introduced a new market for Sanders’ potential landing spot, with the New Orleans Saints leading the way at +220 odds. The Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Giants, and Cleveland Browns also have favorable odds to draft Sanders. Other teams with decent chances include the New York Jets, Las Vegas Raiders, and Los Angeles Rams.
Each team’s draft position and current quarterback situation play a significant role in predicting where Sanders may end up. The Saints and Steelers are considering future quarterback options, while the Giants and Browns lack a long-term solution at the position.
Although the Browns and Giants may pass on Sanders with their initial picks, there is a possibility of them trading back into the first round to secure him if he falls in the draft. It will be interesting to see how the draft unfolds and which team ultimately selects Sanders.
