Prop bets related to the 2020 NFL Draft are flying off the oddsmakers’ shelves, especially now that there are just a few more days left until the annual event takes place, this time virtually, starting Thursday, April 23 through Saturday, April 26.
Yes, the pro football draft will go on, with a unique and dispersed electronic format that has now become necessary given the current worldwide pandemic, and for each team that makes it even more challenging to determine which of these exciting young prospects to select.
Each franchise’s initial pick is considered the most valuable of the bunch, of course, so we take a look at the predictions and odds of the first drafted player (the specific position and whether it’s on offense or defense) for all 32 NFL Teams.
For most NFL teams, you can currently place a wager on whether their first pick in the draft will be on the offensive or defensive side of the ball as well as the specific position that they play on the field.
This bet gets interesting as the draft progresses because each team’s first selection is based not only on what their primary needs are but also on which players are still left on the board at the time of their pick.
You may notice that the odds of any team selecting either a special teams player or a tight end with their first pick are incredibly low, so bet accordingly.
All of these odds, of course, will vary as the draft moves closer and then as the live event progresses, so be sure to check back often for all the latest predictions and odds.

The Cleveland Browns desperately need to better protect their young quarterback, Baker Mayfield, and since they have already used free agency to snag a right tackle, Jack Conklin, they will most likely use their 10th overall pick in this draft to select their blindside man of the future from this tackle-heavy class.

The Steelers gave up their first-round pick in this draft to the Dolphins to acquire talented safety Minkah Fitzpatrick last September, so they won’t go until the 49th pick in the second round, where they will most likely try and look for either a solid O-lineman to help protect returning quarterback Ben Roethlisberger or else a young QB to begin understudying the aging Big Ben.

Since the Texans traded their first-round pick (plus next year’s first and second-round pick) to Miami for left tackle Laremy Tunsil, receiver Kenny Stills and a 2020 fourth-round pick, they won’t choose until round two, when they will most likely snag the best cornerback still available.
