NFL Draft Odds Full of Winners

NFL draft odds are on the minds of bettors now that the Masters has ended and the NBA is off for a day before the play-in tournament starts. Soon, bettors will be talking about the NBA playoff race, but those looking for some NFL action in April will find it. NFL draft odds have been up for some time now and it’s time to take a good look at what’s available.

Former USC QB Caleb Williams continues to be the -10000 favorite to be the first pick in this year’s draft. NFL draft odds have had Williams favored to go No. 1 since they were released. The Chicago Bears hold the first pick and made room for Williams by trading away former starter Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Fields was the 11th pick in the 2021 draft. 

The first overall pick is not the only NFL draft odds available. There are a number of different markets available. There are NFL draft odds for No. 2 pick, the No. 3 pick, etc. all the way to No. 10. There are also markets for Top 5 and Top 10 picks as well as To Be a First Round Pick. Bettors can find NFL draft odds for the First WR Drafted, First RB Drafted, and so on. There are also NFL draft odds on the total number of picks from the various conferences. 

A Preview of NFL Draft Odds

As mentioned, Williams’ NFL draft odds make him an overwhelming favorite to go No. 1 in this year’s draft. While that bet isn’t all that enticing, there are plenty of others from which to choose. A few of the more interesting NFL draft odds markets include the total number of players at certain positions as well as the specific team to draft a certain player. Let’s look at a few examples of 2024 NFL draft odds. 

The Total Number of Quarterbacks Drafted in Round 1 is set at 4.5. The NFL draft odds on the Over are -210. The Under is set at +154. If you like only four quarterbacks to go in Round 1, you might find some value on the Under. A $100 bet at those NFL draft odds will pay out a total of $254.

Former Michigan QB JJ McCarthy’s stock has continued to rise. It is projected that the Minnesota Vikings will look to trade up to select McCarthy somewhere in the top five to ten picks. The NFL draft odds for McCarthy to be picked by Minnesota are +125. Next on the board is New England at +270. There is a lot of speculation that the Patriots will take a quarterback in the first round.
