Betting on the First Overall Pick

The most important, speculated, and debated pick of the entire draft, the first overall draft selection comes attached with not just bells and whistles, but pressure and pride as well. With expectations sky-high for the player taken at this spot, teams take every precaution necessary when making this pick. You should take the same steps as you formulate how you want to bet on who will be selected first overall.

There are many elements you should take into account when deciding who you want to bet on to go numero uno.

Great ways to help determine who you think will go first overall are looking at the drafting team’s positional needs, depth of talent in the Draft Class, as well as the projections outlined by NFL Draft experts. By combining all of this information you will be able to formulate a good idea of who will be drafted first overall.

As of today, Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback, Bryce Young is projected to go first overall at the 2023 NFL Draft, currently listed with -1600 odds to be the first off the board. These odds are highly in favour of the Heisman winner and could make for an easy payday for all NFL Draft bettors.

These bets can certainly prove to be tricky as teams are busy on the phones wheeling and dealing as they try to land their guy on Draft night.

In this betting market, you can wager on a player to be drafted at a specific position or on the Over/Under of their projected draft spot. For example, Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson is currently slated to be drafted at pick 7.5, you can then wager whether you expect him to be drafted seventh or earlier, or eighth onwards.

Be sure to do your research on the top ten picks in the NFL Draft and see if you can find a juicy wager to place a bet on during this year’s draft selection show.

Drafted by Position Props

Another great way to bet on the 2023 NFL Draft, bettors can also wager by position in this year’s Draft. From wide receivers to defensive tackles, you can bet on the number of players drafted by position, as well as who will be the first player drafted at each position.

For instance, if you wanted to bet on who the first running back drafted will be, you can select any of the top upcoming draftees such as Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, Zach Charbonnet and more to help win you your bet.

There are also special player position draft picks that are waiting to be taken advantage of such as the first defensive player to be drafted as well as the first non-quarterback drafted. Find your next winning pick with these NFL Draft position prop bets.

College Draft Picks

After cutting their teeth in the NCAA, don’t expect these highly-touted prospects to stop bleeding their respective college colours even through the NFL Draft process. With some conferences churning out more talent than others, bettors can now place bets on which will produce the most draft selections.

While the SEC is always a safe bet as a manufacturer of NFL stars, the level of talent from around the NCAA has continued to rapidly expand over the years, now with small schools capturing elite talent and preparing them for life as a pro.

You can place bets on the Over/Under amount of each of the major conferences with players set to be drafted in the first round. Get your mock draft ready and place your bets accordingly as you decide what football conference will feature heavily in this year’s NFL Draft.
