Byron Murphy NFL Draft Over/Under Odds

Over: 14.5 (Over +116/Under -154)

Byron Murphy, Top 10 Pick?

Murphy’s under has been getting pounded since opening in the high teens, now down to 14.5 and shaded towards the under. Since testing off the charts, Murphy has been a hot prospect in mock drafts and a steady riser with his range starting as high as No. 8 now. 

As of Tuesday afternoon, Murphy is tied at FanDuel Sportsbook to be the first defensive player taken, behind Dallas Turner, and tied with Laitu Latu at +250. 

There are plenty of teams that can target the draft’s top defensive tackle, including the Falcons at No. 8, who have been tied to pass rushers, but the Bears at No. 9 are also seen as a possibility. After that, the Broncos also stand out at No. 12. That’s before we even account for trades!

Murphy is one of the big risers during the pre-draft cycle, and his stock now has him pegged towards a top selection come Thursday, but where will he go? We’ll find out on Thursday.
