Bets that are fun to think about (but you shouldn’t make)

1) Will a quarterback be selected with the No. 1 and No. 2 overall picks?

Yes +600

No -1500

Think about it: It is fun to consider who would trade up to take Haskins in Murray goes one. Smart money would be on Oakland, I think, if that were a bet. Regardless – the endless possibilities make this interesting to consider.

2) How many wide receivers will be selected in Round 1

Over 2.5 (-180)

Under 2.5 (+140)

Think about it: A.J. Brown is probably a first round talent. He could sneak it at the bottom of the round. If not, its interesting to consider how many linemen (offensive and defensive) go in round one.

3) Will a wide receiver be selected No. 15 or earlier?

Yes +150

No -200

Think about it: Discussed above. Two top 15 potentials here. It could easily be one, the other, neither or both.

Next: Best NFL player from each state

4) Total number of defensive players selected in Top 10 picks

Over 6.5 (+100)

Under 6.5 (-140)

Think about it: Its going to very exciting Thursday night to see what direction teams go. There could be four top 10 quarterbacks. There could be zero in the top nine. Beyond quarterback, there is not another offensive player who is a lock for the top 10.
