2025 NFL Draft odds: Back Steelers to draft a quarterback in Round 1

The 2025 NFL Draft will be here before we know it. 

And if you know me, you know that I rarely miss a chance to put down a few wagers on a big event like this.

Also, as a former NFL lineman, I have a sense of what these organizations are doing to set themselves up for success next season.

With that in mind, let's take a look at a few Round 1 prop bets I like.

Seattle Seahawks to draft an offensive lineman in first round

The Seahawks drafting an offensive lineman in the first round is a favorite for a reason. 

This Seattle team has two major positions of need heading into the draft. It needs a wide receiver, as the Seahawks released Tyler Lockett and traded DK Metcalf to the Steelers. It also needs to upgrade the interior offensive line. It signed quarterback Sam Darnold to be the QB moving forward, and he will need both an offensive line and receiving options to be successful.

This draft is not flushed with offensive linemen. And teams with needs at the position that want an immediate impact starter will need to draft those linemen early. 

On the other hand, this draft is full of impact wide receivers, and it’s possible to find starters throughout the top half of the draft. 

Where the Seahawks are drafting, they should have two options for interior offensive linemen. Those players are Tyler Booker from Alabama and Grey Zabel from North Dakota State. Booker would be an upgrade at either offensive guard spot and Zabel is a versatile athlete, and offensive linemen selected from the Dakota schools early in the draft have been fantastic players. 

Considering their needs, the Seahawks would be wise to draft a lineman.

PICK: Seattle Seahawks (+105) to draft an offensive lineman in first round
