2025 NFL Draft odds: Browns drafting Travis Hunter with No. 2 pick gaining steam

2025 NFL Draft odds: Browns drafting Travis Hunter with No. 2 pick gaining steam

It’s looking increasingly likely that Travis Hunter will be headed to the Cleveland Browns.

Betting odds posted by Fanatics Sportsbook are projecting Hunter to be the No. 2 overall pick, with the two-way phenom’s odds registering at -250 (71.43 percent).

Hunter, considered one of the few elite talents of this draft, can start on offense or defense, as he won the Heisman Trophy while playing cornerback and wide receiver for the Colorado Buffaloes.

It is unclear which position the Browns would want Hunter to play when he gets to the NFL, but at his pro day he ran routes and caught pᴀsses from his college quarterback Shedeur Sanders.

The previous favorite to go No. 2 overall, Abdul Carter, has now fallen to +160 odds.

It’s likely a recent report from The Athletic’s Jeff Howe is spearheading some of this odds movement, as he reported there is “growing belief” around the NFL that the Browns will draft Hunter.

As we get closer to the April 25 draft, clarity oftentimes is found through the betting market, although that hasn’t necessarily been accurate all the time.

One time it was correct was when Paolo Banchero went No. 1 overall despite now-ex-ESPN reporter Adrian Wojnarowski reporting that Jabari Smith was the pick.

Banchero moved from +1000 to -500 despite Wojnarowski’s eventual inaccurate reporting at the time.

However, a Reddit post spiraled an obscene amount of betting movement in 2023 when Kentucky quarterback Will Levis went from 100/1 to nearing favorite status to go No. 1 overall.

Levis wound up falling to the second round in that draft.

Should the betting odds be correct here, Hunter going No. 2 would leave the Giants in a bit of a bind as they could opt to draft Carter, as they are favored to do now with -160 odds on Fanatics.

Sanders is +400 to be drafted by the Giants at No. 3 overall.
