The 2025 NFL Draft is just about a week away, and it’s time to start considering what bets you want to place. This is the most important event of the NFL offseason and it’s turned into a legitimate gambling event for fans as well.
Sportsbooks post odds for which player will be drafted at which specific pick, who will be the first player selected at which position and even what position the eventual “Mr. Irrelevant” plays. DraftKings Sportsbook has also listed odds for each team and the position they will draft first.
There are 10 positions to bet on: Quarterback, running back, wide receiver, tight end, offensive lineman, defensive lineman/EDGE, linebacker, cornerback, safety and specialist, and each team will value these differently. Some squads have a pressing need at quarterback, while others need wide receivers. Then there are teams later in the first round that may just take the best player available.
Below, we will list the first position drafted odds for 15 NFC teams (the odds for the New York Giants are currently off the board), and give some best bets at the very bottom. Let’s jump in.

Takeaways and best bets
Panthers first drafted position: DL/EDGE (-110)
I thought the juice on this prop was pretty surprising. Georgia’s Jalon Walker is a player commonly mocked to Carolina but could sportsbooks be considering him as a linebacker? We may need clarity on this before actually placing the bet but Mike Green, Mykel Williams or Shemar Stewart at No. 8 would certainly cash here.
Cowboys first drafted position: WR (+110)
The Cowboys seem like a team that could fall in love with Texas product Matthew Golden. Dallas needs to add a receiver, and Golden is a speedster who ran a 4.29 40-yard dash at the combine and can burn defensive backs with double moves. Tet McMillan could also be in play for Dallas if the Arizona wideout falls further than expected.
Cardinals first drafted position: CB (+300)
Here’s my long-shot wager. The Cardinals are likely in the market for a defensive lineman, EDGE, offensive lineman or even wide receiver but how about a cornerback? If Will Johnson falls to No. 16 overall, he would be an absolute steal. The Michigan man allowed two touchdowns and picked off nine passes in his collegiate career, and is the only Big Ten player to record multiple interceptions in each of the past three seasons. Arizona could also be in the market for Jahdae Barron out of Texas, who won the Jim Thorpe Award last year as the best defensive back in college football.
Lions first drafted position: OL (+220)
I can see the Lions taking either a defensive lineman/EDGE player with their first pick, or an offensive lineman. One option is -200 while the other is +220. Tyler Booker, Josh Conerly Jr. or Grey Zabel could be in play at No. 28 overall. Keep in mind that Detroit lost offensive guard Kevin Zeitler in free agency this offseason.
Commanders first drafted position: DL/EDGE (+165)
The Commanders desperately need pass-rush help, and CBS Sports NFL Draft experts Ryan Wilson and Garrett Podell both have Washington taking a defensive end at No. 29 overall in their most recent mock drafts, with Shemar Stewart and James Pearce Jr., respectively. Pearce in particular has become a common sight for Washington fans in mock drafts. He’s tied in having the most sacks in the SEC over the past two seasons (17.5), and also registered the highest pressure rate in the FBS over the past two seasons (22.5%).
