Chris Raybon floated three ways to attack Omarion Hampton’s draft range: (1) Minnesota to draft Hampton at pick 24 at 11-to-1, (2) under 19.5 draft slot at 3-to-1, and (3) a moon-shot 26-to-1 on Hampton sneaking into the top 10. Raybon argued that if Denver trades up for Ashton Gentry—as market whispers suggest—the RB-needy Vikings become the next logical landing spot. He views Hampton as the clear RB2, "with less tread and better hands than Gentry," making him attractive to Kevin O’Connell’s pass-heavy scheme. Raybon assigns Minnesota roughly a 9 % chance of grabbing Hampton at 24 and sees the under-19.5 prop as a hedge against a surprise trade-up by another RB-starved team.

Chris Raybon recommended betting Michigan defensive tackle Kenneth Grant to be a first-round pick at –110, calling the price essentially a money-back special. Raybon highlighted Grant’s "dancing bear" movement skills—337 lbs with a 1.68 ten-yard split and 32 reps on the bench—and noted that multiple trench-hungry playoff teams (Chiefs, Eagles, Lions) pick in the 20s. With SIS grading Grant as the No. 3 interior defender and positional scarcity after Mason Graham and Derek Harmon, Raybon believes clubs will not risk waiting until Friday. He projects a >60 % chance Grant sneaks into the final dozen picks, making –110 a profitable lay.

Chris Raybon followed his Giants-Sanders call by taking the Saints ‘To Draft Jaxson Dart’ at +250. League chatter has New Orleans brass “in love” with the Ole Miss quarterback’s aggressive intermediate accuracy, a trait Pete Carmichael’s play-action heavy system demands. With Derek Carr’s contract becoming escapable after 2025, the Saints can afford to red-shirt Dart for a year while leveraging his cost-controlled window later. Raybon believes the Saints view him as a better schematic fit than Sanders, explaining why they have not been linked to Colorado’s passer despite thorough quarterback homework. He sets the probability north of 35%, making +250 attractive.

Raybon bet the Giants ‘To Draft Shedeur Sanders’ at +350, arguing Big Blue has done the most background work on the Colorado passer and fits his underneath-centric style. He dismissed Pittsburgh—the betting favorite—as a square narrative, noting Mike Tomlin already has outside jump-ball weapons (Pickens, Metcalf analogue) that do not mesh with Sanders’ accuracy profile. In Raybon’s mock, the post-Cam Ward QB run actually begins early day two, allowing Joe Schoen to grab Sanders with pick 39 without mortgaging assets. Given New York’s barren long-term QB room and Brian Daboll’s success tailoring offenses to short-area distributors, Raybon puts the true odds closer to +200.

Alongside his Warren call, Chris Raybon suggested a small play on Jahdae Barron to the Jets at pick No. 7 at 10-to-1. Barron shares the same buzz source—Adam Schefter—and offers slot/versatile coverage traits that could appeal if New York pivots away from an outside corner. Raybon emphasized that the 10-to-1 number prices Barron as a sub-10 % outcome, yet Schefter’s mention elevates it to a live scenario and gives bettors an attractive risk-reward hedge against Warren.

Citing Adam Schefter’s Wednesday report that the Jets are eyeing two specific defenders, Chris Raybon recommended betting Tyler Warren to be the exact No. 7 pick at 3-to-1. Schefter’s late-cycle nuggets have nailed surprise top-10 selections in recent years (he flagged Michael Penix at No. 8 last draft), and Raybon trusts that pattern. New York’s depth chart remains thin opposite Sauce Gardner, and Warren’s press-man skill set fits Robert Saleh’s defense. With the betting market still offering +300, Raybon believes the inside information plus schematic fit makes Warren to the Jets a +EV wager.

Chris Raybon advised taking Mason Graham at +650 to be the exact 6th pick. He explained that Graham had been the consensus No. 5 to Jacksonville for weeks, but Gentry’s late rise now pushes the Wolverines DT down the board. If a Gentry-at-5 scenario unfolds, Raybon expects the Raiders—who badly need interior pass-rush help and have shown heavy interest in Graham—to pivot and snag the highest-graded defensive lineman left on the board. SIS ranks Graham as the No. 2 overall prospect, so Raybon believes Las Vegas will view him as too much value to pass up at six.

Chris Raybon advises against betting the median range draft positions around 21 and a half to 24 and a half for quarterback Jaxson Dart. Instead, Raybon suggests the smarter approach is targeting Dart going much earlier (in the top five) at much longer odds (50-to-1, 75-to-1). Given Dart's highly volatile potential and broad range of draft outcomes, Raybon argues there is minimal value in targeting the precise middle spots of the draft order. Instead, he sees value in going for the huge payouts associated with an early Dart selection scenario, which is more reflective of Dart's real upside draft potential.
