April 24, 2025

The 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin, has the chance to make some history of its own, following up on several records set in the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit.

Here's a look at how to watch the 2025 NFL Draft, the draft order, betting trends and more.

How to Watch the 2025 NFL Draft: The 2025 NFL Draft is spread across three days of coverage from April 24 to April 26. Here are the coverage rounds

First Round: Thursday, 8 p.m. ET
Second Round & Third Round: Friday, 7 p.m. ET
Fourth through Seventh Rounds: Saturday, 12 p.m. ET

Coverage of the NFL Draft is hosted by ESPN, ESPN+ and ABC, which are units of Walt Disney Co (NYSE:DIS). Viewers can also watch draft coverage on the NFL Network, NFL+, Hulu+ and YouTubeTV.

2025 NFL Draft Order: There have been no trades made in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft as of the time of writing, which could set records. No draft in the modern era, dating back to 1967, has begun with every team having their first round pick.

Last year's draft had several trades done before the first round began and a total of five more trades were made involving first-round picks during the first round.

Many experts expect trades to come, the question is if they will happen before the draft begins at 8 p.m. ET or once the first round begins. The Browns (#2) and Giants (#3) have indicated this week that they are open to trading their top picks if the price is right.

Tennessee Titans
Cleveland Browns
New York Giants
New England Patriots
Jacksonville Jaguars
Las Vegas Raiders
New York Jets
Carolina Panthers
New Orleans Saints
Chicago Bears
San Francisco 49ers
Dallas Cowboys
Miami Dolphins
Indianapolis Colts
Atlanta Falcons
Arizona Cardinals
Cincinnati Bengals
Seattle Seahawks
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Denver Broncos
Pittsburgh Steelers
Los Angeles Chargers
Green Bay Packers
Minnesota Vikings
Houston Texans
Los Angeles Rams
Baltimore Ravens
Detroit Lions
Washington Commanders
Buffalo Bills
Kansas City Chiefs
Philadelphia Eagles

Betting Trends to Know: The 2025 NFL Draft is expected to be a big event for sports betting companies like DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ:DKNG), Flutter Entertainment (NYSE:FLUT) and MGM Resorts International (NYSE:MGM).

Betting platforms offer bets on each draft pick number, over/unders on when a player will be taken, props on the number of a position taken in the first round and some head-to-head battles.

Here are the current betting favorites at the top 10 positions based on odds from BetMGM, as shared by Ben Fawkes on X.

Cam Ward (QB): -10,000
Travis Hunter (WR/CB): -2,500
Abdul Carter (Edge): -2,000
Will Campbell (OT): -800
Ashton Jeanty (RB): -250
Kelvin Banks Jr. (OT): +125
Armand Membou (OT): +225
Mason Graham (DT): +170
Mykel Williams (Edge): +200
Tyler Warren (TE): +325

Based on the betting odds, it doesn't look like there is much uncertainty until it gets to the sixth pick, barring any trades of top five picks.

This draft order and selections would also differ greatly from last year's NFL Draft when offense and quarterbacks were the name of the game in the first round.

Last year set a record with offensive players taken with the first 14 picks and 23 of the 32 first-round picks overall. Last year's first round also tied a record with six quarterbacks taken in the first round, including the top three straight picks for the fourth time in history.

Defensive players are likely to go in the first 10 picks and the quarterback position is not nearly as popular in the 2025 NFL Draft.

In fact, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders has fallen back in mock drafts and betting odds after previously being a top-five consensus pick. The over/under moved from 8.5 to 21.5 at some sportsbooks. While many still see Sanders going in the first round, he might have to wait some time to hear his name called.

Ward has odds of -10,000 to go first overall and be the first quarterback off the board. This means betting $100 would turn into a $101 win for a profit of $1.

Other top quarterback prospects are Jaxson Dart and Jalen Milroe, who like Sanders will be competing to get their name called later in the first round.

BetMGM's John Ewing said these are the most popular bets at BetMGM:

Cam Ward 1^st pick: -10,000
Tetairoa McMillan 1^st WR drafted: -300
Saints 1^st pick is a QB: +425
Over 2.5 QBs drafted in 1^st Round: -165
Tyler Warren 1^st TE drafted: -400

Betting on the rookie of the year will likely be a popular future bet after the 2025 NFL Draft. Last year, Caleb Williams was the early favorite to win offensive rookie of the year after going first overall. It was Jayden Daniels, the second overall pick, who won offensive rookie of the year after starting with odds of +650 at DraftKings.

Similarly, Jared Verse (edge), who ranked fourth at +1,100 odds after the NFL Draft, ended up the defensive rookie of the year for the 2024 NFL season.
