The only exception, Jacksonville taking defensive standout Travon Walker out of Georgia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>in 2022. And in the last quarter century, a quarterback or lineman has gone first in the last 24<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>drafts. So it\u2019s no surprise quarterbacks lead the way for most likely to go number one in 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Carson Beck, Georgia Bulldogs (+375)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carson Beck is favored to win the Heisman (+850) and that makes him the favorite to go first<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>overall. Georgia will once again compete for a title and that puts Beck in the national spotlight<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>for the season. He threw for nearly 4000 yards, 24 touchdowns and completed more than 72%<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>of his passes. Many felt if he was eligible in 2024, Beck would have been a top-15 pick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shedeur Sanders, Colorado Buffaloes (+600)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s no surprise Shedeur Sanders is one of the favorites to go first overall. After jumping from<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jackson State to Colorado with his father, Sanders has put Colorado on the college map,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>despite a 4-8 season in 2023. Still, he\u2019s talented and could see his stock rise with a better<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>season. Sanders threw for 3,230 yards and 31 total touchdowns, but the Buffaloes will now play<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>in a tougher conference, the Big 12. Watch for Sanders odds to get lower if he gets off to a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>dazzling start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mykel Williams, Georgia Bulldogs (+800)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Georgia Edge Mykel Williams could shake up the draft if he puts together a dominant season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He posted 13 tackles for loss, and 9 sacks in his first two years with the Bulldogs. WIlliams has<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>the potential for a breakout season and the former five-star recruit has it all. 6-foot-5, 265<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>pounds, and has the athleticism that makes NFL coaches drool. What will work against him,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>only 3 pass-rushers have gone first overall in the last 11 years<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DARK HORSE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Travis Hunter, Colorado Buffaloes (+1800)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Call him the Shohei Ohtani of college football. Travis Hunter plays both sides of the ball and at<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>an elite level to boot. Hunter caught 57 passes for 721 yards and five touchdowns in nine<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>games as a receiver. As a cornerback, he also had three interceptions and 30 tackles, two for<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>losses. It\u2019s uncertain if he\u2019ll pick just one position in the NFL but if a team gets him first overall,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>they\u2019ll essentially be getting a 2-for-1 type of player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1st Overall Pick 2025 NFL Draft Odds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carson Beck +375<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quinn Ewers +500<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>James Pearce +550<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shedeur Sanders +600<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mykel Williams +800<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drew Allar +1200<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Travis Hunter +1800<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cam Ward +2000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jalen Milroe +2500<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abdul Carter +2500<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Garrett Nussmeier +2500<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jaxson Dart +2800<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patrick Payton +2800<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conner Weigman +2800<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harold Perkings +3300<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>J.T.
