Shedeur Sanders Projected To Slide-- Oddsmakers Gauging How Far

Shedeur Sanders' status as the most in the 2025 NFL Draft class is completely safe and secure as the hours count down towards Thursday's preliminary.


It's not just analysts, talk program hosts and fans who have differing opinions of the previous Colorado quarterback. Oddsmakers have actually been continuously adjusting their Sanders-related markets during the pre-draft season too.


Once projected by many to battle fellow quarterback Cam Ward to be the No. 1 total choice, Sanders now has an Over/Under choice area of 8.5 at DraftKings. The public has backed Sanders with 76 percent of the cash to hear his name called before the ninth pick on Thursday, while 57 percent of the overall bets have him going even later on.


Sanders is widely viewed as the second-best prospect in a rather dull quarterback class. With Ward expected to go No. 1 to Tennessee, Sanders' former Colorado colleague Travis Hunter is in the mix to go next along with Penn State pass rusher Abdul Carter.


New England and Jacksonville, who own the 4th and fifth overall picks, currently have their franchise quarterbacks. That leaves the very first interesting potential suitable for Sanders with Las Vegas at No. 6, followed by the New York Jets. The Carolina Panthers at No. 8 still have 2023 No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young, while the New Orleans Saints might be hoping Sanders falls to No. 9 with Derek Carr's 2025 and beyond status unpredictable due to a shoulder injury.


Should Sanders fall beyond the Saints, his drop could end up being the story of the preliminary with the next four teams each set at quarterback in Chicago, San Francisco, Dallas and Miami.


BetMGM is providing Sanders as a +2200 longshot to go No. 2 general, followed by +700 chances he will go No. 3. The book is also overing +2200 chances Sanders will be picked with the eighth choice, with his fastest chances being +500 to go No. 9, where the Saints currently sit.


SportsBetting.ag is providing chances on all 32 teams selecting Sanders, regardless of position. The fastest chances come from Cleveland. While the Browns aren't anticipated to pick Sanders at No. 2, they reportedly have been fielding call from groups thinking about going up.


A trade might see Cleveland move down a few areas into a location where the front office may be more comfortable picking Sanders. With Deshaun Watson sidelined by a second split Achilles, the quarterback depth chart currently includes previous Pittsburgh first-round pick Kenny Pickett and veteran Joe Flacco.

Sanders' pre-draft journey has actually been swarming with opinion, and he will not be on-hand for Thursday's very first round in Green Bay in addition to other top potential customers.


Sanders elected not to take part in workouts at the Big 12 Conference's inaugural Pro Day last month, though he remained in participation at the event in Frisco, Texas, highlighting the top NFL potential customers in the Big 12, and he informed NFL Network (transmitting the occasion) that he isn't letting critics get to him.


"It's a great deal of critics, it's a great deal of hate," Sanders stated. "But we understand what to do. We know how to handle that in every way, so we remain happy."


Sanders selected rather to exercise at Colorado's "CU Football Showcase" on April 4. He discussed his technique and the NFL draft process in general.


"It's certainly a discovering experience," Sanders stated. "A lot of things aren't in your control, and getting the understanding from Dad (Deion Sanders) ... coaches, friends and family and everybody that's supporting me and helping me through this process, it's very crucial. I'm grateful that I have those resources."


Sanders was the Offensive Player of the Year and a first-team quarterback on the All-Big 12 group in 2024, throwing for 4,134 lawns and 37 goals for 9-4 Colorado, finishing eighth in the Heisman Trophy balloting.
