Betting on the Draft will be at record levels tonight and\nthrough the weekend, as our sports-deprived country needs something to bet\non.  If you\u2019re one of the lucky one that\nlives in a state that allows mobile betting, congratulations.  Your self-isolation just got way more\nawesome.  Note:  this is the only time that I ever wished I\nlived in New Jersey.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ready to put that stimulus check to good use?\u00a0 Here are our top bets for the Draft.\u00a0 We\u2019re using odds from Draft Kings Sportsbook<\/a>.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total RBs Drafted in First Round (0.5) (Over -186, Under +150)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m all over the \u201cOver\u201d on this one.\u00a0 This comes down to whether you believe D\u2019Andre Swift will get drafted in the first round.\u00a0 I think he\u2019s a lock to go in the first round.\u00a0 As a bonus bet, the line on D\u2019Andre Swift\u2019s draft position is 33.5 (-118).\u00a0 I would hit the \u201cUnder\u201d on that.\u00a0 He\u2019s going in the first round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total OL Drafted in the First Round (6.5) (Over -167, Under +137)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m going Under, especially at an attractive +137.\u00a0 After the Top 4 offensive linemen, there\u2019s a bit of a drop off.\u00a0 This one will be close. I think 6 will be the magic number, and guys like Cesar Ruiz and Austin Jackson will slip into the second round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tua Tagovailoa Draft Pick (5.5) (Over +110, Under -134) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lots of talk about Tua sliding past 5.\u00a0 This line may shift throughout the day, but at +110, it\u2019s worth a little scratch to bet the Over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeff Okudah Draft Pick (4.5) (Over -134, Under 4.5)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over all day.  The\nlist of cornerbacks picked in the Top 4 spots is slim.  Two words: Positional value.  Cornerbacks don\u2019t impact the game to the same\nextent as other positions (QB, DL, OL). \nWhile Detroit may end up with Okudah, I don\u2019t think it will be at #3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total Alabama Players Drafted in First Round (5.5) (Over +110, Under -134)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 4 Alabama first round locks (Tua, Will, Jeudy,\nRuggs).  The next 2 Crimson Tide to be\ndrafted should be Xavier McKinney and Trevon Diggs.  My money\u2019s on that one of them slips into\nRound 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exact order of First 3 Wide Receivers.<\/strong>\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love this.\u00a0 Getting in to multiple picks ups the degree of difficulty, and also the payout.\u00a0 Lamb\/Jeudy\/Ruggs is the consensus, and at +300, it\u2019s a good bet.\u00a0 I also think Justin Jefferson has a shot to be the third receive taken, so I would also throw in a Lamb\/Jeudy\/Jefferson combo, which pays out at +1100. Also at +1100 is Jeudy\/Lamb\/Jefferson. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
