Top NFL Draft First Round Betting Picks and Predictions for 2022
The 2022 NFL Draft brings uncertainty, even regarding the first overall pick. Here are three high-value betting opportunities for the first round:
Total Quarterbacks Drafted in First Round OVER 2.5 (-271)
- Kenny Pickett and Malik Willis are near-locks for round one
- Multiple QB-needy teams have high picks (Lions at #2, Falcons at #8)
- Fifth-year option incentivizes teams to draft QBs in first round
- Desmond Ridder or Sam Howell likely to be selected late in first round
Kayvon Thibodeaux Player Position OVER 4.5 (+130)
- Previously considered potential #1 pick but stock has fallen
- Travon Walker and Aidan Hutchinson expected to go 1-2
- Texans likely targeting cornerback or offensive line at #3
- Jets reportedly prefer Jermaine Johnson II at #4
- Could fall to Seahawks at #9 due to perceived character concerns
Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner Player Position UNDER 5.5 (-143)
- Consensus top cornerback prospect in draft
- Strong on-field production and off-field traits
- Lions considering at #2 overall
- Texans interested at #3 if they go cornerback route
- Unlikely to fall past first five picks
- Even in worst case, Giants would likely take him at #7
This draft class features significant uncertainty but these three bets offer solid value based on current intel and team needs.
