Top NFL Draft 2022 Betting Values and Predictions to Consider
The 2022 NFL Draft offers unique betting opportunities due to its unconventional quarterback class and varied team needs. Here are the top three value bets to consider:
Kenny Pickett for First QB Selected (+125)
- Led Pitt to first 11-win season since 1989 and first ACC title
- Impressive 2021 stats: 4,319 passing yards, 42 touchdowns
- More NFL-ready than top prospect Malik Willis (-170)
- Likely top-15 pick, potential fit for Carolina Panthers at #6
Under 2.5 QBs in First Round (+188)
- Only Pickett and Willis are consensus first-round picks
- Other prospects (Howell, Ridder, Corral) likely to slide to second round
- Teams addressing QB needs through veteran acquisitions
- Weaker quarterback class creates value on the under
Under 1.5 Safeties in First Round (+130)
- Kyle Hamilton only consensus first-round safety
- No other safety prospects ranked in top 75
- Strong offensive line and edge rusher class
- First round likely dominated by other positions
This draft class features unique characteristics that create betting value, particularly in quarterback and safety markets where conventional wisdom may be overestimating first-round selections.
