NFL Draft: Building a mock draft based primarily on what betting odds tell us - Part I. MORE:
With the rest of the sports world shut down due to COVID-19, the anticipation continues to build towards the 2020 NFL Draft, which runs virtually April 23-25, with the first round going Thursday night starting at 8 p.m. ET and running until 11:30 p.m.However, even the best NFL Draft experts will admit how difficult it is to navigate the unpredictability of the league’s 32 general managers.
There is always the possibility a team attempts to trade up to No. 2 if they become enamored enough with a quarterback prospect. However, with the draft position over/under prop bets for Tua Tagovailoa and Justin Herbert set at 4.5 and 5.5 respectively, the odds dictate that the Lions stay put and take Okudah third overall.This pick is where things get interesting from a betting perspective.
The Giants are listed at -220 to select an offensive player and they need help at tackle so Wills would make sense at fourth overall. Still, Tagovailoa at least temporarily remains the slight favourite over Herbert in Bodog’s"Who Will Be Drafted First" prop bet at -135 to -105, so he gets the edge at this pick.Another interesting note from Bodog: L.A. is listed at +110 to be the team that drafts Herbert compared to +150 to be the team that gets Tagovailoa.
