2020 NFL Draft odds and prop bets: WR group sees movement
Ceedee Lamb is the betting favorite to be the first WR selected in the 2020 NFL Draft, and with reports that the Eagles are trying to trade up for him, his odds have gotten even better.
Sportsbooks have put up a massive amount of NFL draft odds on the betting board and we bring you some of the more intriguing prop bets being offered with the 2020 NFL draft set to begin at 8:00 p.m ET tonight.
Although the "who will be drafted first overall" prop bet is off the board at many books, with Joe Burrow being the runaway favorite for months, there are still tons of other NFL draft betting options to dig into. You can bet on where highly regarded prospects like Tua Tagovailoa and Chase Young will be drafted, how many players at a position will be selected in the first round and who will be the first player drafted at various positions.
Many experts have regarded this draft class as one of the best in years for wide receiver prospects, with three WRs separating themselves at the top in Ceedee Lamb, Jerry Jeudy and Henry Ruggs. Recent rumors have suggested that the Philadelphia Eagles are reportedly looking to trade into the top 10 in order to select Lamb. Lamb is now the -225 favorite to be the first WR taken in the draft, when he was listed at +135 just a few days ago.
One of the more interesting prop bets being offered is the exact draft order of the three WRs. In addition one of the prop bets that has seen the biggest moves in recent days is the Over/Under on the number of WRs taken in the first round. The Over 5.5 was -350 just two days ago but is now listed at -155.
