Betting the Draft

It’s one of the most exciting weekends of the year, if you’re a football fan, the NFL draft. It’s a weekend full of hope and “what ifs”. Teams hoping they have finally found their answer at quarterback and team trying to fill those last few holes before making a Super Bowl run. But what makes it extra fun, is that you can bet on it. So I’ve provided some prop bets to make tonight a little more exciting.

Over 5.5 QBs taken in the first round

I’ve seen various odds for this one. But it’s a given that four QBs will go in the first round, leaving Bo Nix and Michael Penix as the two question marks. I think teams will take them tonight rather than let then get the day two and maybe lose their guy. Plus that fifth year of team control for a QB is a nice bonus. 

Over 6.5 Receivers drafted- +300

There’s the big three of MHJ, Malik Nabers, and Rome Odunze that could all go in the top ten. After that it opens up a bit. But I think there will be a run on receivers in the 20’s that gets us to 7 in the first round. With the Bills needing a wideout it will be interesting to see if they play it aggressively or wait and take who is there. 

I think Brian Thomas Jr, AD Mitchell, and Xavier Worthy all go in the first round. Leaving guys like  Leggette, Ladd, or Troy Franklin to hopefully be that seventh guy. 

Bo Nix under 32.5 Draft position- +112

I think he goes in the first. Maybe a team trades back into grab him. But I’m taking this at plus money. 

Bonus bet- Bo Nix to the Broncos +175
