  • The Saints (+220) are predicted to draft Shedeur Sanders.
  • Four teams, including the Steelers (+400), are +500 or shorter to draft Sanders.
  • Sanders isnโ€™t favored to go in any of the first seven picks.

Perhaps the most discussed NFL draft prospect โ€“ Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders โ€“ is largely unknown where heโ€™ll be selected.ย 

Sanders, son of former NFL great Deion, is not predicted to hear his name in any of the first seven picks. The โ€œfavoriteโ€ to draft Sanders is the New Orleans Saints (+220).ย 

Five teams, including the Saints, own odds of +500 or shorter to draft Sanders, with seven teams priced at +1200 or shorter by oddsmakers.ย 

Below, bettors can find odds on Sandersโ€™s next team based on NFL Draft odds at BetMGM.ย

NFL Draft Predictions: Shedeur Sanders Next Team

Based on their unknown quarterback situation and their need to draft for the future, I predict the Pittsburgh Steelers (+400) draft Shedeur Sanders.ย 

Two months ago, the prospect of Sanders falling to the 21st overall pick was laughable. But now, it doesnโ€™t seem completely unrealistic given the perception that itโ€™s a weak quarterback draft.ย 

The Steelers and Sanders are a natural fit. Even if Pittsburgh elects to sign Aaron Rodgers this offseason, itโ€™s likely on a one-year deal for the 41-year-old Rodgers.ย 

That would leave Pittsburgh in a difficult position for next season with Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson as the quarterbacks on the roster.ย 

Sanders, who isnโ€™t regarded as highly as the quarterbacks selected in 2024, gives Mike Tomlin a mobile quarterback that Pittsburgh has lacked under the longtime head coach.ย 

While Sanders likely falls somewhere below similar signal callers like Lamar Jackson and Jayden Daniels, it gives the Steelers a chance to revamp their offense under Arthur Smith.ย 

As a result, it would be the Steelers or nothing for Sandersโ€™ draft prediction.ย
