OddsTrader recommended betting Cameron Ward at +5000 to be selected second overall by the Cleveland Browns. The logic presented is if Abdul Carter goes number one overall (another recommended bet), the Browns won't have the option to draft Carter and will urgently need a quarterback. Deshaun Watson is viewed as completely washed up, backup Joe Flacco is 40 years old, and the Browns' weak offensive line makes selecting pocket passer Shedeur Sanders impractical. Ward's mobility and potential upside are highlighted as ideal for the Browns' situation. OddsTrader dismisses Travis Hunter's fit with Cleveland due to their existing strong receiving corps and cornerback depth led by Pro Bowler Denzel Ward. Thus, if Carter is picked by Tennessee first overall, Ward becomes the clear and logical selection for Cleveland at number two, making this a strategically connected betting opportunity.

OddsTrader suggested betting Abdul Carter at +1800 to go first overall to the Tennessee Titans in the 2025 NFL Draft, emphasizing the great value of these odds considering the weak quarterback class. Cam Ward is heavily favored to go first based on media speculation, but OddsTrader argues Ward is overvalued due to his unimpressive performances against strong competition in a weak ACC conference. Tennessee, despite needing a quarterback, still has Will Levis on their roster, a recent second-round pick who performed well at times despite limited surrounding talent and injury troubles. Tennessee's pass rush was weak last season, finishing just 23rd in sack rate, and head coach comments indicate that Carter, an elite edge rusher frequently compared to Micah Parsons, is a realistic consideration. OddsTrader likened this scenario to the 2022 draft, where pass-rusher Travon Walker was selected first overall instead of reaching for a quarterback.
